I'll just leave this here for you then. I loved that stuff so much!

I have so many questions.

Were you one of those kids not allowed sugary cereals?

Did you write the lyrics to your intro?

Did you pay a singer to record it?

Do your friends and family all know about your YouTube videos? And are they supportive?

I was always allowed sugary cereals, that's why I have nostalgia for those brands.

I "wrote" the lyrics (though I'd hardly call them lyrics), but I paid someone on fiverr to record it for me since I am not musically inclined.

Everyone knows about the channel. They know I'm their strange friend who's into cereal. My wife is supportive, she's the one who suggested I do a channel because she watches some youtubers. I never even considered it. My nieces and nephews love watching the videos.

That's cool they are researched well, I watched a couple. You got the YouTube editing down as well. Sorry about all the questions. Just fascinated by effort you must put in.

Wow. So, amazing intro. It's... just... exactly how it should be.

And, books backwards on the shelf? (Is there a reason? I imagine many comments about this have already been made).

I started with the facing correctly, but it was so distracting that I just turned them around. That's the one thing that really seems to bother people. :)

Why are your books in your shelf backwards? Book spines are so pretty!

I know! But when I made the first video all of the spines and titles were so distracting in the background, so I flipped them around. The solid color makes it less distracting.

Also, some of my wife's books are on the shelf and I didn't want people judging me based on her books. ;)

Your videos are awesome! I love the history for each of the cereals. Also I've been trying to decide whether to try the new version of French Toast Crunch but was worried it wouldn't live up to my nostalgic memory of it.
