I&#8217;ve got a third grade solution for you &#8212; necklaces.  <\/p>\n<p>You know they work because you&#8217;ve seen your daddy give your mommy necklaces all the time.  He purchases one for Valentine&#8217;s Day, their wedding anniversary and after they end up on either <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maury_(TV_series)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Maury<\/i><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cheaters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Cheaters<\/i><\/a>.  Now you can&#8217;t afford the necklaces your daddy buys your mommy because you don&#8217;t have an allowance, which probably happened because your daddy buys so many necklaces.  So I&#8217;m gonna teach all you young homies a cheap way to make your own necklace using the new Chocolate Cheerios.<\/p>\n<p>Why Chocolate Cheerios and not the regular stuff or Honey Nut Cheerios?  Well I think it&#8217;s one of the better tasting and sweeter Cheerios varieties and using the other stuff will make you look cheap.  Also, if you use the good stuff, you can use the line, &#8220;I want to give something sweet to someone sweet.&#8221;  I guarantee that line will get her to share her applesauce with you in the school cafeteria.  You can&#8217;t pull that shit off with regular bland Cheerios or the not as sweet Honey Nut Cheerios.  <\/p>\n<p>In order to make the necklace, you&#8217;re going to need a bowl of Chocolate Cheerios and about two feet of thread.  If you don&#8217;t know how long two feet is, ask your mommy or daddy to cut the piece of thread for you.  If your mommy and daddy are having make up sex after he gave her a necklace, use the Chocolate Cheerios box to measure the length since it&#8217;s about one foot high.  <\/p>\n<p>Try to clean the table before you start, but if you can&#8217;t, don&#8217;t worry about it since you won&#8217;t be eating the cereal anyway.  Lay the string on a table and start adding Cheerios to it.  Alternate the different colors and she&#8217;ll know you put some thought into it.  Once you&#8217;ve covered the entire string with Chocolate Cheerios, tie the two ends together and you&#8217;re done.  Pour yourself a bowl of Chocolate Cheerios to celebrate, or if your parents are having make up sex, to feed yourself because they&#8217;ll be awhile.<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate Cheerios isn&#8217;t quite as sweet as chocolate-flavored children&#8217;s cereals, but it does have a decent level of chocolate flavor, thanks to the fact that it&#8217;s made with real cocoa.  Actually, its chocolatey-ness is exactly where I expected it to be since it&#8217;s a health conscious Cheerios product.  But if it were any sweeter, I&#8217;d expect to see a cartoon character printed on the front of the box, some kind of puzzle on the back and it would be popular with 35-year-old virgins who live in their parents&#8217; basements.  I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, but I was more surprised by the chocolatey milk that was left after eating the cereal, which tasted like something that only Cocoa Puffs could leave behind.  I have to say that Chocolate Cheerios is my favorite Cheerios variety.<\/p>\n<p>If the young hottie rejects you, but keeps the necklace, an 11.25 ounce box of Chocolate Cheerios can easily make several necklaces, as long as you don&#8217;t eat the entire box within three days like I have.  If you need another line when you present it to the next hottie, you can use, &#8220;I got a neck-lace for your pretty face.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup without milk &#8211; 100 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 milligrams of sodium, 60 milligrams of potassium, 23 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, 13 grams of other carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and a bevy of vitamins and minerals.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Chocolate Cheerios<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $3.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 11.25 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Target<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> The best tasting variety of Cheerios.
