Yeah, pretzels are good too, but really - it's all about the rice Chex. ;) This is hilarious, but honestly - that's all anyone eats anyway, right?

To avoid our annual summer torture of driving a station wagon across country to visit the grandparents, our family ate enough Chex to get 5 tickets. A LOT OF CHEX. It took years, but I can finally eat chex again. And I actually like the wheat ones, too.

I made it this year and I got so many people who were impressed by the fact that I didn't open a bag of it. I wasn't very impressed as I have been in the past.

It will make you sick as a dog, but you'll love every minute.
