Nothing beat being a kid more than waking up early on Saturday morning with the largest bowl you could find out of your mother's cabinet and filling it for your favorite cereal and watching cartoons until it was time to go outside and play baseball with the neighbors' kids. Nothing beat the independence of being a kid and making your own breakfast.

Growing up, we had awesome cereals. Some of my favorites, of course, have been discontinued. One was called Freaky's cereal. Another was King Vitamin. Yeah, it sounds corny, but it was a trick to get a child to eat fortified vitamins in cereal, which probably didn't do any good for us anyway, and I look at how I turned out. Another was Super Sugar Crisp. Boy did I bounce off the walls after a bowl of that.

But it's good to know four of my favorites are coming back! If I was to choose my favorite out of the four, I have to say it was always BOO-Berry cereal. Another reason I loved it is because it turned the milk blue, which was so cool as a kid. Let me know your favorite on social media!
