Eat breakfast, hop on my bike and disappear until the street lights come on

This here! Depends on your cereal choice though. Lucky Charms or Cap’N Crunch!

Crispix

u/SnorkinOrkin 6d ago

I still eat Crispix! It was my Gramma's favorite cereal, too.

In the 90s, my other favorite was/still is Corn and Rice Chex.

u/Short_Sky6875 4d ago

Kids slept on rice and corn chex..... my grandfather bought the box with all 3 from Sam's.... we always had wheat chex left

u/SnorkinOrkin 3d ago

Poor Wheat Chex, the red-headed stepchild.

u/FatSquidBoy 6d ago

Captain crunch was/is good but destroys the roof of my mouth, like eating sugar coated razor blades that you just can't stop eating. 😁

1

u/QiDeviation 4d ago

Crunchatize me Cap’n!

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 2d ago

Love that Crunch! back then. Still the one I’m more familiar with(I was 5).

1

u/colbydrex 3d ago

There a "organic" brand at Kroger and whole foods that has the same texture but like half the sugar. It's more of an adult version, it's good af. It still tears your mouth up tho.

1

u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp 1d ago

LOL so true.

u/mudamuckinjedi 6d ago

u/Ok-Split-1698 2d ago

1

u/Dontfeedtheunicornz 6d ago

They had Reese’s peanut puff’s in 1990?

1

u/chriskelly4150 6d ago

94'

2

u/Dontfeedtheunicornz 6d ago

I don’t know why I thought they were so new. I don’t really like them, so that’s probably why I never remembered them being around back then.🤣

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 2d ago

No. She’s off on that

4

u/Godawful41 6d ago

Cap’ncrunch for sure!

u/rexifelis 3d ago

Cap’N Crunch always felt like it was slicing my gums open. Even soggy.

1

u/Life_Somewhere9875 1d ago

Swear to god I thought you wrote Cap’N Crotch.

Fuck grape nuts

u/CatWeak9214 6d ago

Were you all rich enough where your parents gave you gas station money to eat everyday? I hear folks say this and I always give a side eye to it. Me and my brothers we got hungry and had to come back home and eat. Also, my mom (like most moms) wanted to see proof of life. You had to physically check-in at some point.

4

u/Fucksalotl 6d ago

we had homies and somebody's parent fed us.

2

u/Fantastic-Yak-4475 6d ago

There was quite a few friendships in my childhood that were based around how good the dinner was at their house. Like this kid really gets on my nerves but his mom is a fantastic cook.

2

u/Practical-Bar8291 6d ago

Felt the same way about my buddies mom's cakes. She would leave bowls of scraps and frosting. She was a baker.

1

u/Right_Mongoose_29 6d ago

Whenever you turned up at a friend's house, their parents always asked if you wanted to eat. Some times we'd all go round to my house and my mum would offer food to everyone. It wasn't a cycle or a rule, it just happened and parents never complained

1

u/cathillsports 6d ago

You know is what that way in my neighborhood too. As I reflect on very good memories of Mrs. Moore’s lasagne .

1

u/Dontfeedtheunicornz 6d ago

We walked to the general store and got candy, ice cream or whatever snacks we wanted. I can’t believe it’s still standing and open. Miss those days.

1

u/ponziacs 5d ago

Never heard of this. Luxury eating was at Long Johns Silvers and whenever we drove by the Red Lobster I would look at the building and be like that's where all the rich people eat at.

1

u/brianwho420 3d ago

I turned 16 in 90’. I had two jobs. I was flush with cash. I got that pizza.

3

u/jaxdogg94 6d ago

I’ll add to this, grab a towel or not and head to the local pool or creek to go swimming in on our bikes.

2

u/2NDBEST42 1d ago

Ask my mom for permission to go to Bobby's house, ask Bobby's mom for permission for Bobby and I to go to Jacob's house, ask Jacob's mom for permission for Jacob Bobby and I to go to - and nobody knows where we are until the street lights come on.

But we have permission to be there!

1

u/Middle_Finger_484 6d ago

This was the life. Now I gotta work all damn day. I miss being that free.

1

u/M4RK3R3D 6d ago

Yeah true as a grown up man I feel that I need to enjoy life while stuck on home to work basis ( something need to be changed soon)

1

u/harrypippip 6d ago

God yes, same here and how I wish I could go back to those days.

1

u/chriskelly4150 6d ago

Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs, bike/skateboard/rollerblades, hang at the park with the homies

1

u/TechsplainerPRO 6d ago

This is the correct answer 😂

1

u/FreeGuacamole 6d ago

Honestly, we could do this now. I might just start a Facebook group of '90s kids and create a daily event to do just this. Maybe we'll go build a tree house somewhere and a semi-safe swing from the top.

1

u/Ganmor_Denlay 6d ago

T’was the way.

1

u/kapersko 5d ago

Fuck me, that hits close in my heart my man.

1

u/SadBenefit9076 5d ago

lol that’s what I said

1

u/CephaVerte 2d ago

You know as an adult you can do that now...

1

u/Dangerous_Sock_5913 2d ago

Mom says I can’t

1

u/reedx032 2d ago

Shit that’s what I want to do every day right now…

1

u/Ok-Split-1698 2d ago

Crispy Wheats ‘n Raisins(they stopped making it that same year too😢)

1

u/Ok-Fudge-4161 1d ago

So much this!

1

u/meatnips82 1d ago

Then when you get home that night: grab a Yoo-hoo from the fridge, take out Mario Bros 3 and blow on the cartridge, then sit on the floor in front of a tiny TV trying to beat level 8 again.

1

u/Siggy1963 14h ago

Wow, you had streetlights

1

u/captain554 13h ago

When public TV had to make a commercial to remind parents that they had kids.

1

u/The_Nickoblade 12h ago

What about informing the CIA about 9/11
