There used to be a variant that was "under the sea" or something. The eggs were blue and had divers/treasure chests/etc. It turned your oatmeal royal blue. It was awesome.
I got the flu a few days ago so this shit is one of the only things I can eat. I love how the little dinosaurs meet a melty, sugary demise that turns my oatmeal a bunch of different colors.

As someone who has to painstakingly stock oatmeal nearly every day, I can assume you that you can still live out your childhood eating habits by visiting your local major grocery store.
Oh wow. Just pure sugar? Did it have any additional flavouring or was it just sweet sugar? I think a big clump of sugar like that might be too much for me, and I have a massive sweet tooth!

Well apparently it's really gross to just eat/lick the eggs, so who knows! Go try it!
You are only truly an adult when you can unashamedly buy things intended for a much younger audience for your own usage. Adults can buy whatever they damn well please.

I think i used to eat a version that had hidden gummy bears.... but it may have been dinosaurs... anyway eating that while watching Saturday morning tv was bliss.
My older brother used to tell me the the eggs were carrots, so i didn't eat them. This way he always got the eggs, and I missed out for 10 years.
fahsky ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:53:24 on January 7, 2013 ยท (Permalink)
I'd get some for my son, but as an adult, I realize its just candy in oatmeal. It costs twice per ounce as much as buying plain oatmeal, frozen fruit & Greek yogurt.
What are these? I've never seen or heard of them. I have also worked grocery retail and never saw these.
