    Has anyone seen......

    And had the same reaction to the new commercial for organic rice krispees?  It's a great spot, cut in b/w, but the music choice they made is kinda funky.....it makes me sad everytime I hear it.  It's the same music they used on ER when Mark Green died......
     
    Just mussing, but thot it was an odd choice for breakfast cereal....

    Never seen the commercial, but organic rice krispie cereal sounds kind of nasty.[>:] I like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Peanut Butter Captian Crunch, and Cocoa Crisp [:)]

    Yep, those are some of my favorites too.  I eat cereal as dessert in the evening [:)].

    I am and always have been an ER fan and was depressed for days when Mark Green died.  I don't remember the song though, but I do remember when they let all the balloons fly away [:(].

    i am a cheerio and wheaties eater! occassionally i will want a sugary cereal, then i go for capt'n crunch berries (i think that is what it is called).

    i have seen the kellogg's organic line, and wondered if it tasted any different from the regular stuff.

    I think the organic line probably tastes a little more grainy, maybe because they make it with whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. That's what I've noticed anyway.

    I have to say this, because I worked at natural food stores for years and have had to explain this to a lot of people, but the only difference between organic and nonorganic food is how the ingredients are grown. So organic rice crispies made by the same company that makes regular rice crispies are going to taste exactly the same. They'll just use organically grown rice, organically grown sugar (or corn for corn syrup, I have no idea what's actually in rice crispies), etc.... Same ingredients, just different sourcing. Same taste.
     
    The store that I worked at in Maryland was entirely owned and run by women (not on purpose, it just worked out like that) and we had an entire aisle of organic chocolate. People used to come in and make faces about how nasty organic chocolate must taste, and whether that means that it's chocolate that's "good for you". Fortunately and unfortunately, respectively, the answers are "no" and "no". Organic chocolate tends to taste better than commercial just because the companies that make it are small companies that take a lot of time and special effort in making their product (and have no problem selling a bar for $3), but other than that--the same. Organically crown cocoa beans, organically grown sugar, organically grown vanilla. Not good for you, but oh so delicious.

    maybe i would like the organic krispies better than the regular then. i might have to give it a try.

    Cathy...that was Rachel.  After the graveside service Elizabeth and the baby, Rachel and her mother were all in the limo and Rachel spotted the baloons on a RE sign and stopped and sent one heavenward to her Dad.  Gets me teary to this day!
     
    And every time that commercial plays, I see that danged balloon!

    Oh my gosh...is that the song???  My neice got married last June and that was the song she picked for the father (my brother) & bride dance.  I was choking back tears.  It was so beautiful to see this young "daddy's girl" grown up and dancing to that song with her father.  I love that song and have it on my IPod.   I guess I'd forgotten it was used in that ER epidode....you've got a good memory Glenda [:D]
