Keep My Words

1. Eat Smurf-Berry Crunch Cereal. In 1983, Post introduced Smurf-Berry Crunch cereal.  Smurf-Berry Crunch was a “fruity sweetened corn, oat & wheat cereal fortified with 10 essential vitamins and minerals”.  On the box, Smurfette and two other Smurfs picked smurfberries off of a smurfberry tree while Papa Smurf ate Smurf-Berry Crunch from a bowl.  In proportion to Papa Smurf, the bowl was rather large.  If I concentrate hard enough, I can almost smell the delicious smurfberries.  Oh, what I would give to enjoy some right now.  Unfortunately, Post no longer manufactures Smurf-Berry Crunch.
2. Eat Dunkin’ Donuts Cereal. A related, unsatisfiable desire is to consume Dunkin’ Donuts Cereal.  This delicious treat was unveiled in 1988 by the Ralston Company.  The cereal came in two varieties: glazed and chocolate.  (I would happily accept either one.) The box described the cereal as “crunchy little donuts with a great big taste!”  When I meditate over the flavor of those tiny circles, I can recall the savoriness quite accurately.  They too have been discontinued, torn from my life for reasons unbeknownst to me.
3. Talk to my Grandma. My Grandpa passed away when I was two years old, but the family has told me stories of how Grandma and Grandpa would fight.  There are tales of them screaming at each other, at times even throwing appliances.  It would interest me to ask my grandmother what fueled these intense arguments, and if through it all they truly loved each other.  Supposing they did, maybe Grandma could explain to me why people hurt the ones they care about.
