The Sugar Cereal Imitation Orange Breakfast

[Music] pointers on how to get around grown-ups who try to force you to eat the right things mothers are always pushing what they say are good for you eggs fresh fruits and vegetables and nourishing cereals well what kids like is dessert and what better way to start the day than with a dessert grown-ups never think of serving dessert for breakfast we have to outsmart them we can have sweet breakfast disc skirts disguised to look like breakfast food the big manufacturers are on our side they understand our desires and they respect kid Power pointer one know the market watch Saturday morning television and Survey the field then follow up with a trip to the serial counter read the labels carefully but watch out for ringers a ringer is is a box of cereal with a ball or a plastic car inside but if the cereal is not sweet uhuh it's not for kids you might get stuck with a cheap toy and then you'd have to eat the unsed stuff too but one thing you have going for you is that mothers generally don't have time to read the labels point two get it into the house by offering to go shopping on your own now if that doesn't work insist on going along protect your rights when you get to the cial counter if your mother picks up up Kellogg's Product 19 you show her that Kelloggs also makes kid cereals that's when you pick up uhuh sugar Frosted Flakes for instance great now if she says sugar frosted flakes are low in nutritional values compromised there are others just as sweet the largest ingredient in Apple Jacks and Froot Loops is sugar you can't go wrong with these two the next Point gets a little sticky now say say what you do is you take two cups of Froot Loops let you that in these are Sugar Pops we're starting backwards but that's all right two cups of sugar pops there's one there's two that's fine now you take two cups of Froot Loops put them right in are they colorful huh isn't that pretty that's good and then two cups of small gumdrops there one good luck here's another one that should measure out to about a cup now you mix it together just toss it together lightly like a salad just like tossing a salad except it tastes better one last pointer remind your mom about the generation gap only grown-ups complain about sugar causing cavities you never hear one kid bugging another about that do you and remember Marshall's advice it's better to eat your cereal right from the box and you get your hand caught in the cookie jar now if you have a mother who reads labels and understands nutrition and insist that breakfast should be highly nutritious without milk I can't help you but you could save up your candy allowance and buy the sugar sweet cereal of your choice and hide it under your bed sugar lovers your night you have nothing to lose but your teeth it's getting harder to do this look at this mess huh look at that container perishable seats sticky on your fingers these rind here I have to throw away it's hard work for what few precious drops of orange juice the word orange doesn't even rhyme with anything tastes pretty good though lots of vitamin C real nutrition but now I have the problem of disposing of this mess it's rough but look here look at what the 20th century alchemists have done for us they've taken common water added sugar a few base chemicals and produced convenient clean Fool's Gold a they tried to do this in the Middle Ages but it took the wonderful technology of the 20th century to make all this happen here we have Frozen juices concentrated you just Add Water see this is 100% juice but but this over here huh which looks like it is not concentrated orange juice but awake read what's in it just to show you the first ingredient which means that's the most of sugar syrup then water then corn syrup then orange pulp citric acid Gum arabic and a whole long list of other things that's what I'm talking Stan would like the standard for Juice drinks to be at least 35% juice the rest is mainly water sugar citric acid vitamin C vegetable gum orange oil artificial color Stanis chloride now here this is high seed and it calls itself an orange drink but the label says it contains not less than 10% juice all right now here's something else this is called a juice Blend that's right right here now looking like it it looks just like the real thing right now every scientific discipline has its own terminology and the Alchemists of orography are no different from the other Alchemists now you used to think that a blend is a mixture of several different kinds of juices or a different kinds of juices of oranges but no nah-uh an orange blend is a mixture of orange and water what used to be called a dilution the FDA proposes a standard of at least 70% orange juice in a blend now orange drinks should have 35% real juice and a blend should have 70% remember that these are all proposed standards if you were confused watch this show again next time and take notes I'm confused too now here's the product right over here I can't read what the ingredients are look for it you know you see it disregard it now we come right now to the ultimate inconvenience orange product that's right this is it a powdered orange breakfast Discovery tanged mostly sugar again you add the other main ingredient yourself which is water from your very own tap now besides paying for sugar you're also paying for let me see what it says here citric acid natural flavor Gum arabic monosodium phosphate and potass citrate and calcium phosphate and vitamin C cellulose gum hydrogenated coconut oil artificial flavor artificial color vitamin A and BHA did anybody hear any mention of orange uh-uh I didn't say it and they don't have it in here that's why it's called a breakfast Discovery Kids just because the astronauts drink it doesn't mean that it's good for you so Shoppers when you face the choice of what kind of orange substitute to substitute for the real thing ask yourself the basic questions how do you like your water 90% 65% 30% or on the rocks how much do you want to pay for it how much is kagene or Gum arabic or hydrogenated vegetable oil or sugar or elal malt all worth to you or what does it do to you that's another question I'm going to have a little juice myself top it off with Real Purity here it's hard to get open but it's easier than regular oranges is here we go pour it right in that's good turn on the machine put some water in come to the Florida Citrus whoops turn it off oh that will have a little taste to this and see if it matches up to the stuff we had before it's all right if you want it for dinner going to bed cative I guess I don't know I'll go back to the real oranges that's what I like
