Raisin Bran is the one cereal that both my husband and I love. I love "healthy" cereal and he loves sugary. But we both could eat an entire box of raisin bran if left unattended :)I don't normally crave anything while I am pregnant is it usually for the first couple weeks after I have a baby that for some reason I crave things... This time I was really desperate for some raisin bran! I grabbed some this weekend while shopping and poured a bowl as soon as I got home!
"What have they done to the raisin bran?" I cried! They changed it! This is horrible, I hate it when they go and changed something that is perfect :)
My husband looks at the box, "You got the wrong kind sweetheart."
"What? What do you mean, it's raisin bran!"
Rolling his eyes he informs me, "There are 2 kinds, Kellogg's and Post, you got Post and we like Kellogg's. Kellogg's has the sweeter raisins and more bran flakes."
I had no idea! We then had a seriously intellectual conversation for the next 30 min. on the properties of both kinds of raisin bran and how for the past 14 years have I ALWAYS managed to grab the right box and never knew there was a difference!
This is where it gets funny: I am at work yesterday and I am on the phone, my husband calls my cell phone, I have to ignore it and figure I will call him right back. He calls the front office and asks them to transfer him to me, I still am TRYING to get off the phone and get to him assuming it is an emergency. I miss him again and finally call him back.
"What happened, whats wrong??!!" I ask.
"I went and got you the right box of raisin bran last night, you didn't see it this morning so I thought I would have a bowl for you :)" he says. "Your not going to believe it but there are NO raisins in the bag!"
"Did you get the right kind?" I mock.
"Very funny, so I call customer service and she asked me if the bag had been tampered with. I asked her, if she is asking, if someone stole all the raisins from the bag. The nice lady explained that SOMETIMES it HAPPENS!"
No raisins in Raisin Bran makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteShe's gotta be fooling with you!
ReplyDeleteDidn't you just have a baby? What are you doing working already?
ReplyDeleteAnna, I was thinking the same thing..but I know for a fact she is SUPER WOMAN...Maybe even the ENERGIZER BUNNY...I need to get some batteries. Mine must be dead!!! HAHAHAH
ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteI just ran in to check my email and phone messages :)
When I was in the hospital after the delivery of my little one, they had boxes of cereal which my husband brought me one of each so that I could choose. One of them was rasin bran which I ate because we were down to the bottom of the options. I realized that I love it and I now buy it at every chance. The right kind is Kelloggs and I bought Post once and realized it was the wrong kind when I got home and I was really confused. It is a really healthy thing to crave so go for it :)
ReplyDeleteYou must be superwoman! I didn't know you worked too?!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, there is no way someone stole the raisins from the bag. LOL
Sheri,
ReplyDeleteI do work but I have the summers almost off. I am the director at a private christian preschool ( go figure!) and basically have the same school schedule as public school. In the summers I still work a few days a week answering email, phones and doing enrollment for the fall.
Allison, I am glad I am not the only one that couldn't figure out what was wrong with it!
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering about the working thing. What is your job?
ReplyDeleteHaving 7 kids is Job enough!!
I Am the director at a preschool.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed the difference because I have found more rock bottom deals on the Post, but the Kelloggs is much better.
ReplyDeleteI grew up eating both kinds of raisin bran. Mom usually just got whatever was cheaper, but we did eventually decide that the Kelloggs is better - more and sweeter raisins. :) But I've always had to think very carefully when I'm in the store about which brand it is (because I never remember). I finally decided that "two scoops of raisins" was the key to remember, and they do still show the two scoops on the box. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that box made it through the production line while the raisin packing machine was down. ;p
