a box of kellogg's honey smacks

While my wife's away, i get to satisfy my vulgar unhealthful urges.  I rode to Safeway this morning just for this.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

I have not looked at a box of that shit in decades, but there used to be regulations against labeling boxes of alleged food with non-ingredients of that alleged food. I cannot but believe there is even less (if any) honey in it than there was cane sugar back when it was called Sugar Smacks.

Of course, if there were any truth whatsoever in their advertising, they would not be able to label it anything more than Corn Smacks. Unless they've found a way to indetectably lace it with heroin, in which case I guess it could be labeled Smack Smacks.

Honey's 4th on the ingredient list. And it's wheat, not corn (although teh wikis inform me that "In Norway and Finland, it is known as "Honni Korn Smacks").

Of course, it went from Sugar Smacks to Honey Smacks to just Smacks and then back to Honey Smacks for some reason.

"corn" doesn't necessarily mean "maize" in Europe. It can mean "wheat".

But I'll bet the primary sweetener in Honey Smacks isn't High Fructose Wheat Syrup.

It says "sugar" and "dextrose".
