A Is Apple J Is For Jacks (111/365)

“A is for apple, J is for Jacks, Cinnamon-toasty Apple Jacks! You need a complete breakfast, that’s a fact. Start it off with Apple Jacks. Apple Jacks! Apple Jacks! Ten vitamins and minerals-that’s what it packs. Apple-tasty, crunchy, too! Kellogg’s Apple Jacks!”

Kellogg’s Apple Jacks commercial jingle

TIME:  9:47 PM
PLACE:  Looking in the Apple Jacks bag
SUBJECT:  Apple Jacks

I sang those commercial lyrics to my children while they were eating the cereal.  They were not impressed neither with my ability to recall 1980’s Saturday morning cereal commercial lyrics without hesitation, nor with my singing voice.  They really do need to learn to humor their mother.  BTW I still love Apple Jacks…Froot Loops too, but the Froot Loops have a tendency to scrape the skin off the roof of my mouth, so I don’t indulge in those very often.

I'm not sure I feel inspired to try - though I would have liked to hear you singing.

I used to do that to my kids too, they were about as impressed as yours!

Mine, too - husband chuckled, though. . . This morning I introduced all to the Tootsie Roll jingle (not song!) "The world looks mighty good to me, 'cause Tootsie Rolls are all I see. What ever it is I think I see becomes a Tootsie Roll to me"

Haha! My 10 year old sent me a message that said “food”. I texted back the Apple Jack commercial lyrics. His response?...
“Are you OK???” 😂
