I am 100% with you on the Malt-O-Meal products, they are much better than the name brand and a lot closer to what my memory tells me is what I had as a kid. Except the Fruity Dino Bites, I think the Malt-O-Meal version is even sweeter and fruitier than the original (and better)...
I don't like to think of Malt-O-Meal as a generic version, it's really like a legit version and the Great Value brand is closer to generic. Malt-O-Meal has too much of a quality to really consider it generic...

I would have to agree with you 100% on that assessment. We shop at Aldi's and their Millville brand cereals are a weird combination of generic and better than brand name, so it's a try it first and hope for the best. There's some hits and some abysmal failures. Two hits are their Lucky Charms -> Marshmallows & Stars and the Sugar Smacks -> Honey Wheat Puffs. The Honey Wheat Puffs... let's put it this way, your first pee after eating those and you'll know what you had for breakfast...
Ooooh, now I need to try the Aldi cereals. It's been a long long time since I've had cereal, but I am on this mission now and will accept the responsibility. Especially if the end result is strange bodily results. Is it a Vitamin B or beet reaction that just changes the color? Or are we talking all out asparagus nuclear fallout changes?
Oh, it's definitely like the asparagus experience. It's like, hmm.. sugar smacks and it creates that conflicting emotion where you're like that smells good and I shouldn't have said that...
Ok, I chuckled. How many times have I done something unwittingly stupid, then been ok with it, until I thought a little more about what I had done. At least you didn't say that smells good out loud for someone else to comment on...

Yeah, working from home has the one of the best benefits that even if I do say something out loud, no one is going to hear it. Also, I never have to share the bathroom with another person and I can make as much noise (if you know what I mean) as I want...
Work from home most definitely has its perks. Like the noise thing, and wearing whatever the hell you want to. That t-shirt that is all offensive? Wear it... Wanna take a nap in the middle of the afternoon, take that nap...

Since working from home, I haven't worn long pants. In fact I even got myself a cartoon wardrobe. I have a shirt and shorts that are very comfortable, so I bought 5 of each of them. Now I don't even have to think of what I'm going to wear since it's the same thing every day. It just makes life super easy...
Nawww, no shorts here. The house is cold enough that after a couple of hours sitting at my desk it starts to get chilly. But I am barefoot year 'round...

I do like my socks. It's usually in the summer time after I've gone for a run the socks get ditched after the shower. And you want cold, we got cold. Although, I did wear my snow pants while clearing the driveway when it was 8 degrees and snowing...
