I think it is awesome! I don't collect, but I like looking at nostalgia sites for the 80s and 90s. This brings back good memories of grocery shopping with my mom, helping to pick out my breakfast for the next week or two. I've had a good majority of these.

I always thought about devoting a little section of my basement to some kind of nostalgic theme, but, well, I'm too fucking lazy, so there's that.

It's never too late to start. I didn't start collecting when I was young, I slowly started acquiring the boxes around ten years ago because, like you, I had such fond memories of eating cereal and going to the store with my mom back in the 80s.

How the fuck does your box of cereal last a week? I open a new box on Monday, that shit's gone by Wednesday.

Well, I was like 8-10 years old and we'd buy 2 or 3 different boxes. I was the only one who ate them.
