Yes, the brief spell in the nineties when cereals started incorporating dubious "marshmallows". Even Ricicles got in on that. Sad times.

A guy I worked with went to a cereal cafe while on a work trip to London. Got the piss ripped out of him for claiming expenses for a bowl of lucky charms or whatever it was he had.

As plastic straws are pretty much a thing of the past does that mean the Humphrey menace is finally over?

Now I'm remembering having to drink a bottle of sometimes warm milk in the morning at infant and junior school. Bleurgh. No wonder my lactose intolerance is ridiculous.

What was the obsession with everyone wanting to be the milk monitor? I think it's followed me through life, where I cba with being the authority. Just sit at the back. Nice and quiet.

I can't say I was too bothered when I no longer had school milk when I left infants, it was always horrible unless it was winter. Thatcher stopped it to over sevens in 1971, good!

Honestly, that's what i thought for *years!*
You'd always hear it mentioned in US sitcoms, yet i never heard a British person or tv show mention it until relatively recently.

Definitely an American only thing. My wife doesn't lactose pills before eating ice cream or anything with milk especially the lovely smells they bring.

Most people are lactose intolerant to a degree, pretty much everyone who isn’t from European stock basically, and many European adults who just don’t realise they are so keep chugging it down despite the digestion issues, brain fog, lethargy etc that it provides in varying levels

I was talking about this with my partner the other day (as her dad is lactose intolerant, and while she isn't, she generally sticks to oat milk with coffee, tea etc). While I'm not lactose intolerant, I do remember dropping the worst guffs at school whenever I'd had rice crispies. Really, really foul ones - and at school you can't just leave the room whenever you want, so it was everyone's problem. I was wondering if it was a temporary or selective intolerance. Who knows...

East Asians are well known at them all being able to chug lactose containing products with absolutely no ill effects.
This maybe a lie.

Well being the great combo of Afro Carribean and South East Asian a room can smell like the Dante's Inferno if I've had any lactose without taking a pill. It's worse now as so many things contain milk powder even some fucking crisps.

It can certainly become more of an issue as you get older, I'm pretty much a typical white Briton so lactose intolerance is mostly not a thing but in my younger days* I could polish off a pint of "nice cold, ice cold milk" without any problem. Now? Yeah I'll stick to reasonable sized glass if I'm drinking it neat or I'll have problems.
*by younger days I mean in my thirties or so, not when a kid.

I had a long spell of being exhausted constantly, trouble concentrating, feeling generally miserable, doctors couldn’t do much apart from tell me to rest. Anyway my daughter had a habit of calling me stinky daddy and stopped being cute so did the old Google search for things to avoid eating, thought I’d give dairy a skip and see what happened, didn’t expect much being a generic white guy. The next day felt like I was on a comedown from a Friday night bag of pills at the Fridge, the day after I had a weird fizzy feeling all around my head like when pins and needles is wearing off. From there on I had my energy back and could focus on things again, lost 2 stone in a month without doing anything different. Fuck milk

Used to have a couple of lattes a day, milk with cereal, yoghurts, cheese etc nearly every day, it stacks up pretty quickly. Then you get to the secret milk they add to a ton of products, like whey powders and stuff used as an emulsifier in salami, the yoghurt your tandoori chicken takeaway was marinated in. You don’t really notice just how omnipresent dairy is until you actively try cutting it out

What were Kellogg’s equivalent of Golden Nuggets? Like, they came first, looked very similar, but tasted way better. They didn’t last long though. A very early 90s cereal, along with Banana Bubbles, which I never got to try.  |

convercide Amazing memory! I used to eat that stuff dry! That’s how good they were! I can’t believe they were phased out. Must have been a sugar thing. I don’t think they’ve ever made a better cereal.
