I'm an Adult

Trying to take a trip down memory lane I purchaced a box of marshmallow cereal (rice krispies because it was cheaper than lucky charms) and removed ALL the marshmallows to a bowl.

Something you always wanted to do as a kid, and were never allowed to.

I ate the entire bowl (it takes an entire cereal box of marshmallows to fill a bowl)..... and then I understood why it's not advised.

It's a diabetic coma  in waiting. Such and extreme sugar rush that I can walk away and I can say I did it, but I won't be doing it again.
