The destruction of family values isn't whats destroying this great nation...

[DudeistBelieve]

Do you all not recall a time when it would of been unheard of to have cookies for breakfast?

That use to be how they promoted cereal back to us kids in the 90s. It be some wacky junk food cereal, some fuddy-duddy adult who didn't understand it, all with a wink and nudge to the kid as in "We know what the good shit is! And it's these orange cereal O's that don't even taste like apple! BUt you're gonna like that shit anyway!"

I think back to that shit now... and it's retarded kinda. Who the hell made these arbitrary rules for what you could have for breakfast? And why the hell did adults insist upon eggs or plain cereal when they could litterally eat anything they wanted?

and now we've all grown up. A generation of children, cause lets face it we had it easy compared to generations prior. We didn't have to fight no war, at least not voluntarily (thank you men & women of are armed forces), and now we get to decide what marshmellow sugar coated crap we want for breakfast.

Also, we ruined apple jacks by making them taste like apple. Why the hell did we let that happen?

I think the eventual fall of this great nation can be found here. It's not the destruction of family values and the rise of homosexual mariage. No, it's the destruction of the complete breakfast. You all couldn't just be satisfied with the Egg McMuffin! It worked well for years serving up until 10:30 am! Now you demand it at any time?! Now you demand egg sandwhiches from a Taco Bell? ITS MADNESS! CULINARY MADNESS! AND I WILL HAVE NO MORE OF IT I SAY! NO MORE!

WE NEED TO MAKE BREAKFAST GREAT AGAIN, ARE YOU WITH ME?!?!

I don't demand anything from a Taco Bell and I'm better for it.

I will freely admit to having popsicles for breakfast as my "fruit". I have also had strawberry cheesecake ice cream as my "dairy and fruit". I even once had a couple chocolate-chip cookies because they are "basically just doughnuts" (OK, they were the only edible thing in the house at the time).

Really, I just like having a bowl of cereal or something I can quickly heat up most mornings. Dunkin Doughnuts or one of the local bagel places is for when I really want to enjoy myself. But if someone is willing to prepare a good breakfast for me, I'll take it, but I'm not putting in that much effort to eat that early in the morning.

I never trusted cereal commercials. How can lump refined sugar and carbs devoid of nutrients(other than calories) part of any healthy breakfast? Wake up sheepies!

As a kid who grew up in a house where both parents worked full time and going to a private school that started at 7am and ended at 5:30pm(classes at 3, mandatory sports at 3:15), breakfast is something you get on every 6th weekend and holidays.
Breakfast was a granola bar and a bottle of propel on the way to school at 6:30 in the morning. Or on weekends, McDonald's biscuits 'cause you have a mandatory cross country race or rugby match at 8am.

Or simply breakfast is for those with the free time to actually have it.

 

[Saelune]

I remember the first time I went to a diner at like 9am and was able to get a Burger and Coke. It blew my mind...and was earlier this year.

At least they stopped the daily bear attacks.

Canada life used to be so much harder...

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Wait... my life started going wrong when I stopped having cereal for breakfast.
And here I was, going to blame everything on the loss of sense of humour that makes everything a reportable offence.
Unfortunately, I've already had breakfast for this morning. And there's no cereal for me in the house, so I guess things will have to keep going wrong until Friday.
Unless, like, omelettes are okay. In which case, I can start putting my life back on track and make this house great again.

 

[Wrex Brogan]

Jokes on you, I'm Australian, our nation was never great! Hahahahahaha!

EDIT: also our national cereal is like... Weetbix. We started off bad going with those. Once we get rid of those rectangular, wheaty bastards maybe we can get somewhere. Maybe.

 

[Phasmal]

Eh, great English Breakfast often comes with a side of boiled scab, so we're really in no position to judge.

I keep trying to eat breakfast, as my sister tells me it's the best way to get your metabolism started and all that. I bought a load of porridge and I haven't bloody touched it because it takes hours for me to properly wake up and by then it's lunchtime.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

For a great breakfast, look no further than Great Britain! The good old fry-up - sausages, eggs, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, hash browns, fried mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, two rounds of toast and a mug of tea so strong that the spoon can stand up in the mug.

Breakfast of bleedin' champions, me ol' mucker.

What is this boiled scab of which you speak?

You know full well. Black pudding, that abomination. It may not literally be boiled scab but that's all I can think of whenever I set eyes on it.

Boiled?!? Proper black pudding should be fried! What kind of sick weirdos are boiling their delicious slices of pig blood?

 

[Stewie Plisken]

Bah, you guys are slaves to marketing. We did breakfast our own way over here.
-Hey sweetie, what do you want for breakfast?
-Coffee.
-You're too young to have coffee.
-Then my own awesomeness will fuel my body. gtg mom, school's starting in 10'!

I'm only half-kidding, most people here don't have breakfast at all in adulthood. But joking aside, I once started having all sorts of sugary crap for breakfast. Then I got older and irreversibly fatter, so I had to go back to normal people breakfast. I hate life. Incidentally -and I know the thread is a joke- the best breakfast I've had in terms of efficiency (fullness, energy etc) includes eggs (preferably boiled) and oatmeal with a few bars of dark chocolate, all of it preceded by two glasses of water right after waking up.

I prefer to think that our national cereal is Nutri Grain
it is after all the objectively tastier hunk of cardboard soaked in milk to eat in the morning

 

[JemothSkarii]

My parents didn't let us have the sugary cereal for breakfast when I was a kid. Sweetest thing we could get was like Saltana Bran or - heaven forbid - a teaspoon of sugar on our Rice Bubbles or Weet Bix.

Part of me is thankful, and part of me blames this for my old man tastes. From Wheaties to Liqourice, Sarsaparilla, Rhubarb and Custard... Probably gonna start eating Liver and Onions regularly before I'm 30 at this rate. That and I hand out life advice like nobody's business despite having no idea what I'm doing.

Nowadays I don't really eat breakfast, just have a cup of coffee. On the occasion somebody wants to make me breakfast I'm pretty happy with Bacon and Eggs on Toast.

Though people who have Bacon and Eggs without toast or bread upset and confuse me. I could never go Paleo.

 

[maninahat]

I have heard there are people capable able to eat anything the slightest bit sweet before 11. Those people are monsters and must be burnt.

WE NEED TO MAKE BREAKFAST GREAT AGAIN, ARE YOU WITH ME?!?!

I WANT BREAKFAST OF THE TRULY FREE DAMMIT! A BREAKFAST NOT RULED BY COMMERCIALS NOR CORPORATIONS! IT SHOULD GO BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGED, IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE! WITH THIS WE WILL HAVE A STRONG NATION OF THE BEST BREAKFAST PEOPLE ARE FREE TO CHOOSE!

Or something like that. Growing up, we usually had a health breakfast. Sometimes it would be cereal (mixed with bananas or strawberries), or the usual eggs (mainly scrambled), grits, sausage (many different styles), bacon, and toasted bread. I just know when I got around age 13 or 14, that I could not stand most sugary cereals anymore.

I remember the first time I went to a diner at like 9am and was able to get a Burger and Coke. It blew my mind...and was earlier this year.

I live in the Reno/Sparks area of Nevada, grew up in the Medford/Ashland area of Oregon... All my life I've been visiting diners, truck stops, chain restaurants like Denny's and IHOP. So no matter where I ate, I could get breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whatever else at basically anytime of the day. What blows my mind is people who visit my town now, go into a restaurant in a casino, and get their minds blown that you can order breakfast at 9pm-midnight here. Being able to get breakfast at dinner time and dinner at breakfast time is a godsend for people who work the graveyard shifts, I know, I've done it.
