I ate a load of French mushrooms when I woke up today
Breakfast of champignons
This assumes that 'breakfast of champions' is a phrase that exists in the real world and isn't just something my friends and I say to reach other when we have a breakfast consisting of, for example, a Pot Noodle and a biscuit
Breakfast of champions is definitely a phrase. I think it's pretty much only used in your sense now, as sarcasm or irony, but it started out as some American breakfast brand's slogan, or was at least used in earnest by a company, but might have existed as a phrase before that.
It's also a Vonnegut book (in which it is also used sarcastically)!

It was the tagline of Wheaties breakfast cereal for a long time, and it used to be a big deal for an American athlete to get their face on a Wheaties box.
It was like getting a Sports Illustrated cover, for those of you old enough to remember print magazines being a thing.

yeah in the book a waitress would say it sarcastically when giving a customer a martini, so its original ironic use was specifically referring to basically having a drink in place of a meal (could be at actual breakfast but doesn't have to be)
which eventually just became a more general 'look at this shit i'm putting in my body, i am an olympic athlete motherfucker'

Well now we know you're just messing with us, 'cause they only released one magazine a year and it always had ladies in swimsuits on it.

Unlike Sports Illustrated, getting your face on a Wheaties box wasn't cursed
Regular Cheerios is a flavor so deeply programmed that if you served it to me I might immediately revert to a baby right there in front of you, like watching Benjamin Button on fast forward.

Regular Cheerios are a betrayal of all that is good and Honey Nut
Kix, on the other hand, I have stolen from a baby and feel no remorse. Kix is love
Kix is pretty good but Berry Berry Kix is a full step above them.

Healthy cereals I like:
Cheerios
Corn Flakes
Borderline cereals I like:
Berry Berry Kix
Honey Nut Cheerios
Raisin Bran
Junk cereals I like:
Captain Crunch
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Froot Loops <-favorite
Frosted Flakes
Lucky Charms
That's pretty much my top ten. Honorable mentions go to Rice Krispies, Frosted Mini-Wheats, & Frosted Cheerios. Oddly, I've never had Wheaties. Nor any of the Count Chocula/Franken Berry/Boo Berry product line.

Berry Kix definitely caught my wife's attention. She's burned through a ton of it the last couple months, after not really touching cereal much in years.

If Better Call Saul is any indication, family operations.
And why would Saul lie? Aside from the dozens of reasons presented in the series, I mean.

It's weird how stuff just gets absorbed by the collective consciousness

Don't forget that the head legal counsel is Hugh Lewis Dewey, known to the post-doctoral snow plow drivers in Harvard Square as Huey Louie Dewey.

Thank you, Click and Clack.
No joke, there's a "Swindle Law Firm" in my local area. Used to have an office at the end of my parent's street. I chuckled every time.

My favorite has generally been just straight bran flakes. Not raisin bran, the raisins ruin it. Especially with all the sugar on them.

It's like mixing Kix with Trix and silly rabbit, that's profane
(It is good though. Man I miss Trix. And Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And Reese's Puffs. And not having Type 2 Diabetes...)
I miss them so much.

Ahem
I think what this really needs is a pencil hole pushed through the back.
