Raisin Bran has got to be the most ill-conceived breakfast cereal known to man. I mean, who wants hard and chewy dried up raisins sprinkled in their cereal? I don’t want anything like that in my cereal. Bananas – good. Strawberries – terrific. Dried up brown surprises? No thanks. I think Raisin Bran is the best proof there is that advertising works, because without that jingly commercial they used to have I don’t think anyone’s really buying the stuff.
So why am I writing about Raisin Bran and why am I so angry about it? I’ll tell you why. It’s because we’re in the midst of yet another painful two week international break. With apologies to our sister site www.farlieonfracking.com, what the frack?!! Watching these friendlies is like taking a break from the playoffs to watch a couple of pre-season games. But because I have to, because I’m (theoretically) paid to, I will now comment on a few of the games.
