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.

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.

I'm pretty sure it's just pure sugar, beause it melts with the water/milk

Neodymium ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 02:08:49 on January 7, 2013 ยท (Permalink)

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!
