Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels

The fact that this cereal doesn’t come with an actual Hot Wheels car, as a throwback to the days of getting free prizes inside the box, is a missed opportunity if not a damn shame. Still it’s fun enough to eat. The taste of the tires is akin to lemon Trix, but of course the marshmallows, which are also skimped on, are the best part.

The Berenstain Bears And The Bad Dream ( book ) … Stan Berenstain + Jan Berenstain

Bang : Blue And Yellow Limoncello

The title should be plural because, as the cover illustration suggests, both Sister and Brother Bear have Bad Dreams. Those nightmares are caused by Space Grizzlies; “action figures” Brother and his friends are “just crazy about”.

The overall lesson of the story has to do with how the mind “keeps right on thinking” during sleep, but its most endearing moments come when the Bear siblings are awake; playing together and going to the movies with Mama and Papa.
