I remember being so disappointed by those Pink Panther Flakes. Nothing special, just pink-dyed frosted flakes. No tiny marshmallows, chocolate puffs, or anything remarkable about them at all. (Oddly enough I love Frosted Flakes as an adult, but as a kid...meh.)

Just started working in a warehouse. Next thing I got 2 young ladies getting competitive trying to get me to work with them. I chose to be flattered, as one does. But what they really wanted from an older gentleman was this.
