Right? We have less money than ever before and cereal and milk is more expensive than ever before. It's not rocket science. All their flavour and marketing adjustments are a waste of time and money.
Breakfast has been touted as the most important meal but it's treated like it's dessert. It's hollow, unfulfilling calories and even muesli or nut/berries doesn't help because it's more sugar on top of sugared carbs.

Maybe $8 for a box is too much?

Also 90% of cereals are just carbs and sugar. They're more of a junk-food than a breakfast.

Advertised. It's all been marketing.

The price keeps getting higher, the box is getting smaller, and I need to pay almost twice as much to not directly give myself diabetes. Noty

I've never liked cereal or milk. Savory breakfast is where it's at.
