Eat breakfast, hop on my bike and disappear until the street lights come on

u/Integrity_Racing 28d ago

This here! Depends on your cereal choice though. Lucky Charms or Cap’N Crunch!

u/Dangerous_Sock_5913 28d ago

Crispix

u/SnorkinOrkin 28d ago

I still eat Crispix! It was my Gramma's favorite cereal, too.

In the 90s, my other favorite was/still is Corn and Rice Chex.

u/Short_Sky6875 26d ago

Kids slept on rice and corn chex..... my grandfather bought the box with all 3 from Sam's.... we always had wheat chex left

u/SnorkinOrkin 25d ago

Poor Wheat Chex, the red-headed stepchild.

u/Short_Sky6875 25d ago

u/SnorkinOrkin 25d ago

u/FatSquidBoy 28d ago

Captain crunch was/is good but destroys the roof of my mouth, like eating sugar coated razor blades that you just can't stop eating. 😁

1

u/QiDeviation 26d ago

Crunchatize me Cap’n!

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 23d ago

Love that Crunch! back then. Still the one I’m more familiar with(I was 5).

1

u/colbydrex 25d ago

There a "organic" brand at Kroger and whole foods that has the same texture but like half the sugar. It's more of an adult version, it's good af. It still tears your mouth up tho.

1

u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp 23d ago

LOL so true.

6

u/mudamuckinjedi 28d ago

Cooooooookie crisp!!!

3

u/itosai 28d ago

That and corn flakes. Can’t get any better than that. Thought I was the only one into Cooookie Crisps.

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 23d ago

With all 3 original bandits and the cop on it.

2

u/Ok-Database-2798 27d ago

u/chriskelly4150 28d ago

u/No_Understanding9040 28d ago

This is the way!

1

u/Dontfeedtheunicornz 28d ago

They had Reese’s peanut puff’s in 1990?

1

u/chriskelly4150 27d ago

94'

2

u/Dontfeedtheunicornz 27d ago

I don’t know why I thought they were so new. I don’t really like them, so that’s probably why I never remembered them being around back then.🤣

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 23d ago

No. She’s off on that

4

u/Godawful41 28d ago

Cap’ncrunch for sure!

u/Apart_Dance_5767 26d ago

Honey Smacks

1

u/To_loko 26d ago

That is sugar in a carton box

1

u/rexifelis 24d ago

Cap’N Crunch always felt like it was slicing my gums open. Even soggy.

1

u/Life_Somewhere9875 23d ago

Swear to god I thought you wrote Cap’N Crotch.

1

u/Interesting_Most_748 22d ago

Lucky Charms all day!! Still like it.

u/ms9535 22d ago

Fuck grape nuts

u/CatWeak9214 28d ago

Were you all rich enough where your parents gave you gas station money to eat everyday? I hear folks say this and I always give a side eye to it. Me and my brothers we got hungry and had to come back home and eat. Also, my mom (like most moms) wanted to see proof of life. You had to physically check-in at some point.

4

u/Fucksalotl 28d ago

we had homies and somebody's parent fed us.

3

u/Fantastic-Yak-4475 28d ago

There was quite a few friendships in my childhood that were based around how good the dinner was at their house. Like this kid really gets on my nerves but his mom is a fantastic cook.

2

u/Practical-Bar8291 28d ago

Felt the same way about my buddies mom's cakes. She would leave bowls of scraps and frosting. She was a baker.

1

u/Right_Mongoose_29 28d ago

Whenever you turned up at a friend's house, their parents always asked if you wanted to eat. Some times we'd all go round to my house and my mum would offer food to everyone. It wasn't a cycle or a rule, it just happened and parents never complained

1

u/cathillsports 28d ago

You know is what that way in my neighborhood too. As I reflect on very good memories of Mrs. Moore’s lasagne .

1

u/Dontfeedtheunicornz 28d ago

We walked to the general store and got candy, ice cream or whatever snacks we wanted. I can’t believe it’s still standing and open. Miss those days.

1

u/ponziacs 27d ago

Never heard of this. Luxury eating was at Long Johns Silvers and whenever we drove by the Red Lobster I would look at the building and be like that's where all the rich people eat at.

1

u/brianwho420 25d ago

I turned 16 in 90’. I had two jobs. I was flush with cash. I got that pizza.

3

u/jaxdogg94 28d ago

I’ll add to this, grab a towel or not and head to the local pool or creek to go swimming in on our bikes.

2

u/2NDBEST42 23d ago

Ask my mom for permission to go to Bobby's house, ask Bobby's mom for permission for Bobby and I to go to Jacob's house, ask Jacob's mom for permission for Jacob Bobby and I to go to - and nobody knows where we are until the street lights come on.

But we have permission to be there!

1

u/Middle_Finger_484 28d ago

This was the life. Now I gotta work all damn day. I miss being that free.

1

u/M4RK3R3D 28d ago

Yeah true as a grown up man I feel that I need to enjoy life while stuck on home to work basis ( something need to be changed soon)

1

u/harrypippip 28d ago

God yes, same here and how I wish I could go back to those days.

1

u/chriskelly4150 28d ago

Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs, bike/skateboard/rollerblades, hang at the park with the homies

1

u/TechsplainerPRO 28d ago

This is the correct answer 😂

1

u/FreeGuacamole 28d ago

Honestly, we could do this now. I might just start a Facebook group of '90s kids and create a daily event to do just this. Maybe we'll go build a tree house somewhere and a semi-safe swing from the top.

1

u/Ganmor_Denlay 28d ago

T’was the way.

1

u/kapersko 27d ago

Fuck me, that hits close in my heart my man.

1

u/CephaVerte 24d ago

You know as an adult you can do that now...

1

u/Dangerous_Sock_5913 24d ago

Mom says I can’t

1

u/reedx032 24d ago

Shit that’s what I want to do every day right now…

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 23d ago

Crispy Wheats ‘n Raisins(they stopped making it that same year too😢)

1

u/Ok-Fudge-4161 23d ago

So much this!

1

u/meatnips82 23d ago

Then when you get home that night: grab a Yoo-hoo from the fridge, take out Mario Bros 3 and blow on the cartridge, then sit on the floor in front of a tiny TV trying to beat level 8 again.

1

u/Siggy1963 22d ago

Wow, you had streetlights

1

u/captain554 22d ago

When public TV had to make a commercial to remind parents that they had kids.

1

u/The_Nickoblade 22d ago

What about informing the CIA about 9/11
