It's always been my understanding that allegory is defined by it's 1:1 mapping, which is why it's such a restrictive literary tool and always comes off as pretty didactic. Versus just an extended metaphor which can be much looser and evocative. Like a square vs rectangle situation. Like Lion Witch Broom Closet is an allegory with lion jesus, while LoTR is an extended metaphor for...lots of things, which is what the extended metaphor allows it to be.
But who knows, words are meaningless and we're all going to die someday anyway.
I was more into Raisin Bran than regular corn flakes
I knew I had reached adulthood when I started a bowl of Raisin Bran and thought "oof, too sweet!"
This is why the most cereal I can eat nowadays are Cheerios with sliced banana.

Yeah, I thought that was the reason why Tolkien hated allegory.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
A yogurt enema has to be the most Freudian cry for help ever from a repressed celibate man. Kellogg, my dude, just fuck some men and have a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch, everything will be ok.
I can enjoy a garbage cereal, but since like my mid-teens my favorites have been Bran Flakes (no raisins!), the giant shredded wheat biscuits, and grape nuts. No sweeteners.
all those great grains and special Ks and honey bunches of oats varieties are good too

Cracklin Oat Bran is delicious but you have about three minutes to eat it before it absolutely dissolves into nothing. I even love a mushy cereal, but it just loses all structure.

I started half-assing an intermittent fasting routine about six months ago, and cereal is really the only part about breakfast I really miss. You can eat bacon and eggs for lunch on the weekend no problem, but you feel like a real pervert eating cold cereal between noon and 6 PM.

when I was a kid, my dad used to eat those shredded wheat bricks, with boiling water poured over it, no milk. I'd only be half surprised if it turned out he was doing it out of some Kellog-style anti-libido motive.
Weetbix and hot water is a thing. Not a thing I was ever into but a thing nonetheless.
Weetbix, made (in NZ) by the Sanitarium company, a SDA company that is super vegetarian and chaste.
I eat these myself. Back when I did early morning rowing, I needed fuel but dairy would make me sick. I started doing it then and now I’ve got used to it. Eating them with milk tastes too rich to me
Probably just plain old Rice Krispies, because, like him, they never shut the fuck up, are white and flavorless.

I can't do it cold. Now, warmed for just a bit in the microwave with a dollop of honey, that I can do.

I mean, the top two-thirds of the box are. Below that and you're increasingly in wheat-dust-milk-soup territory.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Because he's dead.
But Rice Krispies make great treats with some marshmallow
If this was real, I'd give it a shot.
