I never trusted puffed foods.

I bought some yesterday. What the hell do I do with it? Can I give it to people I don't like?

Malt-O-Meal make a lot more than mush, dumbass.

 
jcooli09 2008-04-13 12:57:08 PM  
Be fair, Subby. It's at least 23.

\plus snochick, and penthesilea if she can figure out how

 
thelordofcheese 2008-04-13 01:25:36 PM  
aGAIN? Man, that's a lot of cereal in the past week.

cereal in a bag dealt another blow to its already questionable credibility

make that TWO. Poor Sydney died last night. Last thing anybody heard him say was "I'm hungry".

Oh great, now there's only 2 people who still eat Malto-Meal.

never heard of it.

I like Malt-o-meal. It used to be cheap, like 59 cents for a big horking bag.

 
Uncle Karl 2008-04-13 01:31:01 PM  
Score one for buying the organic puffed wheat.

/Actually it was just on sale

Damnit, I thought this was the cereal quiz thread.

Malt-o-Meal makes a lot of store brand cereal.

 
CygnusDarius [TotalFark] 2008-04-13 01:35:01 PM  
I like salmon with a bit of lemon sauce... Oh, wait, you mean salmonella?.

Ms. Slovenia-Cleveoh eats that stuff every morning. I think those styrofoam packing peanuts would taste better. & be more nutricious

Their version of Frosted Mini Wheats is delicious.

So is hemlock and nightshade.
I just bought it as it was the cheapest unflavored unsweetend puffed wheat. Had it not been on sale I might have salmonella now.

/so is oil, so is anything with carbon in it.

Hey, subby, I like malt-o-meal(without salmonella)! And yeah get off my lawn!

 
hadji 2008-04-13 01:41:19 PM  
...also a MOM buyer. Much cheaper than majors and just as good.

 
Drawist 2008-04-13 01:42:30 PM  
wha?? its a hellavu lot cheaper than kellog's or Gerneral Mills (GM)... when you have children of your own, you'll understand the meaning of the word "generic".

When I was in university I pretty much lived off of Malt-o-Meal's version of Cap'n Crunch. That, and beer.

/malt-o-meal and malt-o-barley

Malt-O-Meal voluntarily recalled its unsweetened Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals.

The 23 people who ate it involuntarily recalled it.

I still eat the Malt O Meal hot cereal.

Chocolate FTW!

Just as good...FOR ME TO POOP ON!

Don't let them rag on you, I ate it as a kid and still do. All the same stuff.

/spends money on stuff more exciting than what brand of breakfast cereal he eats.

At this very moment, I'm eating a bowl of Malt O Meal Apple Jacks, so I'm really getting a kick of of - arrrrgh

 
jomyke 2008-04-13 01:47:51 PM  
I live close enough to the factory to smell the sweet malt o' smell.....so I am getting a kick and all that.....

 
blueeyesmn 2008-04-13 01:50:06 PM  
Marshmallow Mateys are way better than Lucky Charms. Had a friend who used to work for Malt O Meal and the employees get to take all the mispackaged cereals for cheap, so I got bagsful of the stuff. Best day was when the Mateys got filled with all marshmallows.

 
dooder0001 2008-04-13 01:50:27 PM  
Crap, I just bought Malt O Meal's lucky charms and had a nice big bowl this morning and I live in one of the affected states.

 
babyduckmonger 2008-04-13 01:51:44 PM  
Oh, good ol' Northfield. Malt o' Meal will always have a special place in my heart. It really does taste the same as the more expensive stuff. And smelling the sweet, sweet smells (usually like cookies) from the factory at all hours really made that town a lot more fun.

In buffalo we get to smell General Mills, I love it when they cook CoCo puffs.

 
dennysgod 2008-04-13 01:56:42 PM  
Subby is an idiot to think they just make hot cereal. They make those hugh bags that hold twice as much cereral for half the cost. I have 4 kids and trust me, it saves a lot of money, besides that their Tootie Frooties are way better then Fruit Loops.

 
Freiheit666 2008-04-13 01:57:53 PM  
I do believe this is a 4 or 5 day old headline that originally mentioned "salmonella flavor".

Thank god for those super deluxe links or everything around here wound be a cliche.

 
Galmort 2008-04-13 02:01:41 PM  
love driving by the factory.

My GF just bought me a box of Malt-O-Meal, so i'm getting a kick out these replies.

/the regular stuff, not their generic cereal.
//couldn't find it out here for the longest time

I came here to say exactly that.
It might sound crazy, but a little bit of syrup makes it taste really good!

Same here! I only liked the chocolate kind too.. A little hard to find, but there are still a few stores near me that sell that flavor.

Coco-roos are great too

Well, this is what we get when we put huge unaccountable companies in charge of our food chain.

Slavery happens in many ways. Sometimes you can even get the slaves to pay for it.

 
tofoomeister [TotalFark] 2008-04-13 02:29:37 PM  
I got a phone call last week that had a recorded message about the puffed rice I purchased. The creepy part was I paid for them but used my girlfriend's shoppers club card - yet they still were able to track down my phone number, presumably through credit card records.

I had to listen to it twice. I was like, "Salmonella? In my cereal?"

Meh. My mom used to add cocoa to the original to make a homemade chocolate version. Hated it then. Hate it now. Leave your chocolate out of my malt-o-meal.

Ugh, I can't stand the stuff.
Not a fan of hot cereal in general, really.

Malt-O-Meal, Edgar.
Malt-O-Meal.
