\"Honey<\/p>\n

Ever since I started eating these new Honey Bunches of Oats Banana Nut Cereal Bars, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been acting kind of strange. I guess someone could say I’ve been acting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bananas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153nuts.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m beginning to think that the saying, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You are what you eat,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is actually true.<\/p>\n

If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe me, then listen to the crazy things I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done recently.<\/p>\n

Many of you know about my insane McDonald\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Dollar Menu<\/a> binge the other week. Besides Ruben Studdard<\/a>, what sane person would stuff themselves with all that food in one sitting?<\/p>\n

If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nuts, I watched dangerous amounts of programming on the PAX Network<\/a>, and when I say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dangerous amounts of programming,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I mean any amount over two minutes. <\/p>\n

Still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I deserve a straitjacket? Well how about me watching hours of the Ashlee Simpson Show, then buying her album \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Autobiography\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from iTunes, playing it over and over again on my iPod, and learning the words by heart, so I can lip-sync them as well as she can.<\/p>\n

I guess I should\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve realized something was wrong after eating the first Honey Bunches of Oats Banana Nut Cereal Bar and soon after becoming the winning bidder for underwear on eBay<\/a>. <\/p>\n

However, the cereal bars were good and I saw my eBay purchase as a need for underwear and not as a sign of becoming crazy.<\/p>\n

The cereal bars didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t taste much like the actual Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, even though they had the same crispy flakes and oat clusters the cereal has. I thought it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t as sweet as the cereal. However, these cereal bars were definitely better than the Honey Bunches of Oats with Real Bananas cereal, which The Impulsive Buy reviewed<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

Besides being good tasting, these cereal bars are also sort of good for you. Each bar has as much calcium as a glass of milk and has nine other vitamins and minerals. However, this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t special because the better-tasting Hershey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s SnackBarz I tried a few months ago, with its crispy rice, marshmallows, and milk chocolate, is a good source of calcium, iron, and seven essential vitamins. <\/p>\n

Yahtzee!<\/p>\n

Plus, the Hershey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s SnackBarz didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make me do anything crazy, like eat in one sitting half a bag of Ruffles Light, with the anal-leakage-causing Olestra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well I guess I should be glad I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t eat any Hostess Ho-Ho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.<\/p>\n
