Cereal Taste Test
"I knew it was Raisin Bran
because the sun popped out and
said "it's got 2 scoops of raisins!" ~Bo
"I knew it was Captain Crunch
because it cut the top of my mouth all to pieces."~ Chicken
But would you know what the cereal
you were eating if you lost one of your senses?
It's Grrreat!
It's Geeeeneric!
But not these cereals folks! Ashes set up an amazing cereal taste test for us.
No copy right infringement is intended- so we've protected the identity of the cereal mascots.
So here's the rules and set-up:
Bo & Chicken we're tested separately by Ashes,
wore blindfolds, sampled each cereal,
and decide which name-brand one it was

Ashes: It wasn't dog food.
Chicken: Not all of it anyway.

What We Learned:
Bo: I was shocked at how much your sense of taste depends on your sight!
Yeah, it was impossible for me to tell the difference between the
3 different kinds of Cheerios.
Chicken: I didn't realize how heavily your sense of taste relies on your vision.
I also learned that Golden Grahams tastes like donkey crap
wrapped in a buffalo turd.
Ashes: I know, some of my favorite doughnuts tasted disgusting
and I had a hard time figuring out what was chocolate and what wasn't.
Bo: I also learned that when your blindfolded, people will act crazy in the background so you end up with some interesting photos. . . Ashes

Side Note:
After 4 doughnuts and 18 bowls of cereal we came up with some crazy ideas;
one of which involves
a Twister spinner,
a Trouble board,
and a Walmart.
Oh, the shenanigans we shall have!
