thinking describing Coco Pops as "disgusting" is a tad de trop?

[FolornHope]

woman with sweet ?5 year old boy. he looking longingly as CPs. me going to get some( holiday treat)
her " oh no you dont want THOSE, they are DISGUSTING"
i was so tempted to say " oh no they are REALLY NICE" as she repeated it so many times.

my objection was

1. she was totally negating her sons feelings

2, i dont like chocolate cereal but to say they are disgusting is just a lie

1. i wanted to piss on her fireworks

am i being unreasonable

I ate so many bowls of coco pops with dd1 I was sure I was going to give birth to one giant coco pop! Even better than coco pops are kellogs choco cornflakes! They don't do them any more in the uk, but I did find a box when we were on honeymoon in Italy. It was the highlight!

mine also like nesquik rabbit droppings

I don't like them but my DCs do. Once in a while is fine.

bring back lucky charms

they're magically delicious dontcha know

YABU because I am now craving coco pops but we have none and if I hadn't seen the words 'coco pops' in active convos I would still be happily sucking away on ice lollies.

But YANBU with regards to annoying woman.

YABU not to have pissed on her fireworks though!

Oh I understand that some people find them disgusting - just like any other cereal. Or other food.

But I've seen coco pops mentioned as the epitome of Yuk several times on MN and wondered why they were the victim of a hate campaign mentioned so often :o

Urgh! See, now nesquik cereal really is disgusting, in fact any kind of 'puffed corn' cereal is rank, as is anything with honey, nuts and freeze dried fruit.

In fact the only cereals that should be allowed are:

Choco cornflakes
Cocopops
Sultana bran
Frosties
Rice Krispies
Sainsbo's own special k

The dusty bit of cereal at the bottom must be left, and cereal must be consumed with ice cold milk and ingested immediately, with no time left to go soggy.

iDO get irked when peopel take MY GAVEL to lay down teh law glares

I love coco pops. They were the only thing I could eat at one point during pregnancy that stayed down.

Cocopops
Honey loops
Sultans bran

The only 3 cereals you ever need in life

Anyway, I expect she was just saying it for show. One of those Loud Parenters iyswim

Like the lady at the park who was telling her 3yo that after finishing on the swings they were going to collect the photos from their SKIING holiday. The 'skiing' was said Ever So Loudly.

Sultana not sultans ;-)

Of course, you can guess which ones the dcs eat

Obviously my mother has an MN account and is trying to manipulate MN opinion, in order to stop me eating coco pops. She hates me eating them. I can reliably dsend her into a rant in a supermarket when I pick up a box.

It's the fact that the milk goes all chocolately with coco pops (and honey-y with honey loops) that makes them good

Her son will grow up with a massive coco pop fetish

I used to eat Golden Grahams every day for breakfast in my teenage years. I can't believe my mum bought them. Cocopops would have been a healthy alternative.

that is the single best invention i have ever seen. That is my christmas shopping done now :)

DSs love coco pops as an afternoon treat. And I have been known to shovel in the odd cheeky handful at miserable moments. They are not allowed them for breakfast though. I couldn't be doing with food arguments at a pre-tea moment of the day.

Loud parenting is the twat's showground. Quite a bit at London Zoo on Saturday. 'Maximillian, get down we'll be late for our trip up the Thames on grandpa's yacht .'

There was a lady in my local supermarket explaining to her 2, maybe 3 year old how 'we' didn't buy 'eggies' from hens that had been kept in cages because they weren't nice 'eggies' and it was bad for the hens. I could still hear the eggie lecture two aisles away. All very commendable, I buy free range eggs myself as many of us do...but it was done in such a loud voice, surely for show. The poor child had glazed over on the first mention of 'eggies', he had possibly heard the story a few times before. I should imagine she also would find coco pops disgusting. I also buy shit cereal in the hols, OP. It's shit cereal week in our house. Hooray!

Oh ugh. Eggies. That word is all wrong ...

lol at bowl

coco pops and full fat cold milk are in my Death Row menu

Using the phrase "de trop" in relation to cereal is unrasonable....

Honey loops and Golden Nuggets are amazing, even without milk.

Although I almost choked on a golden nugget when I was 18. DH-before-he-was-dh had to do the heimlich manouvre on me. So they really are an evil cereal.
