THE DAILY GROANER - October 3, 2016

Good Morning Groanies,

The other day I stopped at one of those discount grocery stores to pick up a few snacks to keep in my desk at the office. As usual I grabbed a box of granola bars and a Fruit By the Foot-esque snack called Fruit Strips.

I always found it amusing how stores will essentially have the same food products (similar in looks and taste) but for legal reasons, I guess, they have to change the name. It's goofy.

It's almost as if these name-brands are ashamed to be seen in these places. Hey, if I can buy a box of Frosted Flakes for $2 cheaper at discount grocery store, well then the jokes on you whoever makes that delicious breakfast cereal, I'm going cheap and enjoying the deliciousness.

Anywho, the product name changes are often silly or unnecessary, especially when it comes to cereals. I now have for you the Top 5 Best Alternative Cereal Names (that were created to avoid legal action, I'm assuming).

1. Rhino Puffs (Corn Pops)
2. Fruit Nuggets (Fruity Pebbles)
3. Breakfast Letters (Alpha-Bits)
4. Apple Cinnamon Roundies (Apple Jacks)
5. Choco Balls (Cocoa Puffs)

And a bonus, random cereal name - Huggie Bears (Not Associated with Starsky and Hutch).

They are all creative, all delicious, and all sitting in my pantry just waiting to be eaten by me. I am stocked up for the winter!

Groaningly yours,
Steve
