CinnaScary Apple Jacks!

Late as usual, but the newest addition to the Halloween Countdown celebrates the one and only new spooky cereal I could find this season, Cinnascary Apple Jacks! The familiar cereal bits have now been graced with the addition of cinnamon swirl marshmallows, a few new mascots, a sheet of glow-in-the-dark stickers and a lot of references to Jamaica, mon.

EDIT: Just found more Halloween cereals. Look for 'em on the site next week!

Also, this is your Saturday Night Thread. Use it wisely. In other news, I just went blonde again. Is there anything good on television tonight?

Sadly, I (meaning my mom) haven’t been able to track down Christmas Crunch for a couple years now. It makes me so sad. I travel about 7 hours to go home for the holidays. I expect everything to be as it were in the 80s. Is that so hard??

Evidently, Christmas Crunch is still made in a limited capacity. When I posted that article, I mentioned that it hadn’t been around in years. A reader sent in pics of then-totally new Christmas Crunch. Hopefully it’ll be revived this year.

Do you think it’s feasible to ask for Thanksgiving-themed marshmallows? Little Pilgrims and Native Americans floatin’ about among turkey-shaped sweetened corn and oat cereal.

The Batman vs Dracula: The Animated Movie is on tonight on cartoon network… so no there is nothing good on television tonight.

Here is a very stupid story that only X-Ers would appreciate. This sounds made up but it really happened (although I wish it hadn’t). Listening to the song WEIRD SCIENCE courtesy of the X-E jukebox with E.Claire and I start leaning to the side like I am playing the keyboard during the chorus. Couldn’t place it at first then I realized I had a little Max Rebo thing going on *sigh*

Tried the JONES HALLOWEEN SODAS (yeah, who hasn’t by now). Liked the Blue Lemonade the best, S’lime 2nd, Candy Corn gets the bronze, and Caramel Apple was okay.

by tonight I meant in 15 minutes by the way.

Matt- Have you seen TNA IMAPCT! on Spike yet? it’s better than WWE as of late.

Chestnuts roasted by JP @ 10/22/2005 7:06 PM

There’s always SNL. Too bad it blows. It’s never funny anymore, but I feel like I need to watch it anyway in case it turns around. Thank God for simpsons dvds…

Hey, Groovy Kids!

Oh, X-E and X-Eers! how I’ve missed you. Work has sucked ass of late, and not in a sexy way.

Carving pumpkins tonight while eating brats and drinking pumpkin beer. J and I will also be watching the first Coffin Joe movie. Rock out…

Oh yeah, Kellogs did the same "change the box art" thing for Cocoa Krispies and Fruit Loops… With stickers. But nothing else.

Batman vs. Dracula looks like it was made by the jackie chan people, not nearly as dark, but more people are dying. strange.

I live in Central Jersey and Christmas Crunch has been in almost every store for the past few Christmases. I only knew it was sold to limited areas when I read an article on X-E about it last year. I wonder if that’s the case with Mountain Dew Pitch Black 2, I love that stuff, but I only managed to get three 2-liter bottles and two 20oz bottles…

Chestnuts roasted by Rambozo @ 10/22/2005 7:26 PM

I live in Florida, and we have plenty of Mountain Dew Pitch Black and Halloween Jones Sodas, and Frankenberry/Boo Berry/Count Chocula at my local Walmart. The more I drink of the Jones Sodas, the more I like them. Definitely put vanilla ice cream in the candy corn soda. It’s GREAT! And I like mixing the Strawberry S’lime and the Scary Berry. It cuts down on the "medicine taste" of the Scary Berry. And makes a pretty purplish blackish color. Yay!

What’s the deal with cereal these days? Used to be you got all sorts of movie tie-ins, prizes, and the like. Nowadays you rarely get a prize inside the cereal, instead being greeted with offers for send aways and proof of purchase things or internet promotional codes.

Tie-In cereal is all but dead, and the seasonal variation cereals aren’t nearly as prominant as they once were.

WHY!?

My plans for the night: try out a recipe for Tofu Bacon and maybe watch a movie. The "bacon" is made from tofu and soy sauce with the option of adding a bit of pepper. I hope I have a good movie sitting around the house somewhere.

You’ll all be proud/vaguely disgusted to hear that I just spent half an hour photoshopping a classic X-Entertainment logo circa 1952. Fortunately for the internet at large, I remembered just in time that I have no artistic talent, and the result was bollux. But, you know, might be a fun contest at some point in the future. For all you kids and your "badd skillzers." I need a drink.

Despite what my resume says, I have no capacity to attend to details. Which is why my pumpkin sits on the living room floor with half a turkey carved into it. My friends and I watched Garfield and It’s the Great Pumpkin with commercials and ate Halloween Peeps of both the ghost and pumpkin varieties. . . all in all, a good night.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 10/22/2005 8:14 PM

I need to go Costume Shop/Party Store hopping tomorrow.

I need:

Slit wrists make-up kit
Cigarettes
Cheap Gold Zippo (I might bum this one off a friend)
Ink-jet Temp. Tattoo Paper

That about does it. I’ve got the hair-dye and the clothes. Guess what I’m gonna be this year and I’ll post a link to the notoriously difficult to find jpeg I’m turning into tattoos.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 10/22/2005 8:19 PM

Whoa! Tofu Bacon actually tastes something like pig bacon!

Chestnuts roasted by Tougi @ 10/22/2005 8:25 PM

I have my VCR set for Adult Swim. Yeah, I’m an anime whore, I can’t help it… And I’m waiting on my clothes to dry so I can go shower and go to work till 7am. Lucky me.

BTW, TRU Big Book comes out next week. Not this coming week, I don’t think, but the next.

GINGER SNAPS, GINGER SNAPS 2 & MADMAN are on IFC tonight. It starts off their Halloweeny flicks which they’ll be showing more of next weekend.

Chestnuts roasted by gamera64 @ 10/22/2005 8:25 PM

There’s nothing on the telly. I think I’ll hit the Harvey Birdman DVD

Chestnuts roasted by Scott @ 10/22/2005 8:26 PM

Tougi – Where’d you find tofu bacon?? I’m vegan, so that’s why I’m wondering. Not that I crave bacon or anything, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 10/22/2005 8:26 PM

I still can’t find ANY holiday cereals out here in western New York. I think we need an X-E food co-op where when one of us finds a holiday food we hord it and only share our supplies with other X-Ers.

I added DVR to my cable package this week so I no longer care what’s currently on tv. What a great feeling!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Carri @ 10/22/2005 8:56 PM

Yeah, I’m kind of like that. Only I can’t afford DVR, so I have to not care the old-fashioned way. It works about as well, but you end up missing a lot more shows.
I think the co-op idea is great. I’m willing to ship Boo Berry all over the country if I can get Pitch Black and bat Peeps in return.
