For those who refuse to grow up

I knew that my generation had hit the big time, from a commercial standpoint, when the Muppet and Looney Tunes DVD sets came out with full nostalgic packaging and Schoolhouse Rock could market a songbook. But now the real truth of our eternal adolescence (combined with a whiff of adult responsibility) has come to light: Trix and Cocoa Puffs are now available with 75% less sugar (the decadent sweetness is maintained with Splenda)...

Well, my system, at least, can't handle the sugar loads it used to. I'd rather have a partial dose of the whirlwind and kick of nostalgia than skip the whole thing...

(never fear; they won't get rid of the sugar-bomb versions, I'm sure)
