I was randomly rereading "The Class Menagerie", came across this strip: http://www.theclassm.com/d/19990822.html and suddenly I knew right away that I had to draw Mikey being forced to eat that cereal. Rofl!
Roger managed to get Mikey to play a game of poker with him, and since the characters are underage, they follow the strip's rule about no underage gambling, and instead, just make bets. Roger offers a deal: if Mikey loses, he has to eat one box of Fruity Puffs. But if Roger loses, he has to give up junk food for a year.
I'm sure you all can guess how things ended up.
Although Mikey couldn't eat more than 2 or 3 spoonfuls before he started throwing up. After that, Roger said the roo didn't have to finish the box, and Mikey was grateful.

Oh I believe that, yes. In fact, believe it or not, I've never cared much for sugary cereals. True, when I was a kid, I liked Reeses Puff cereal, chocolate cereal and Lucky Charms, but over the years, they lost their appeal. But I *never* liked Fruit Loops (I did eat them, but only when they were the only cereal around) and I despised Trix (what a gross cereal; I quickly realized why that rabbit never got to eat them: if he did, he'd realize how disgusting they are and then they'd be out of business, lol).
Roger's like me in that regard, which means he doesn't like Fruity Puffs either (I'm thinking one of the other dormmates keeps them around). He prefers cereal that would probably gain Mikey's approval: Cheerios, Corn Flakes, Grape Nuts.
Awww, thank you very much! *hug* But yeah, I'm curious to see what Vince thinks of this one... although he and I have exchanged a couple of notes recently, and he mentioned that Mikey deserves to be put through the wringer a few times... so he may approve of this.

I use to eat those kind of cereals too. They use to be good. But now I'm so use to eating more healthier cereals that those sugary cereals taste funny.
Haha, I use to love Trix. We got them all the time. But it's funny what you said about the rabbit. It makes me think of a commercial where the rabbit finally gets to eat the cereal, only for him to realize that it tastes terrible and he wasted his whole life trying to get a cereal that he hates.
Has Roger ever tried the cereal himself?
I agree. There are times when Mikey has stuff like this coming.

Come to think of it, I actually haven't eaten cereal (of any kind) in *years*. ^^ Somehow the whole idea just doesn't appeal to me anymore... course I so rarely eat breakfast anyway. I either don't have the time or I'm just not hungry. But yeah, I have noticed that, while I still do appreciate sweets, I find myself less and less inclined to get them when I'm at the store. Which makes it frustrating when I am craving something sweet, yet nothing looks good. xD
Really? Well, I guess it figures that *some* people liked that stuff. ;D Wait, REALLY?! Do you have a link to that?! 0_0
You mean Fruity Puffs? Hm... yeah, I think he has. It was when he was a kid, and begged his mom to let him try it. She figured it wouldn't hurt to humor him, even if she thought it was a little too healthy. However, when little Roger tried it, he complained it tasted funny. Rogina sampled it herself, and nearly threw it up. She then had Roger's dad try it as well, and they all ended up having a good laugh over how gross it was. Mom fixed her son up a nice bowl of Grape Nuts afterwards.
Yup. x3 Though I plan on some of the other CM getting their own comeuppance... Right now, I'm playing with the idea of Dani hitting Roger with her clipboard... and he calmly takes photos of his injuries, sends them to his family lawyer, and next thing Dani knows, she's being sued for assault and for abuse of authority, and facing the possibility of either being expelled, or with the choice of transferring to a different school. But in the end, Roger says he'll drop all the charges if she simply apologizes, promises to lighten up... and get rid of her clipboard.

Breakfast is important. But I do know the feeling. Sometimes I don't feel too hungry. But I just eat something simple like a small bowl of cereal, toast, and tea.
Sometimes I crave something sweet too. So I either get a fruit, or eat a piece of candy.
No, it not a real commercial. I was just thinking of a parody idea.
Haha, that cereal much be so sweet, it taste terrible.
Haha, that's a funny idea. Though in Vince's spinoff ISO comic, Cody's Russian uncle already pulled a gun on Dani.

Funny, all the different views on breakfast: I've heard that it actually isn't that important. With me, sometimes in the morning I feel queasy and the thought of eating makes me want to hurl. It usually takes a few hours before my stomach settles and I feel "properly" hungry. Although there are other mornings where I do feel hungry, those are the ones I try to get something to eat on. Usually its half a sandwich, and the rest of said sandwich is my lunch later on. xD
Fruit is good, though I haven't craved any recently. Although there was this one time I got some organic giant strawberries. They were *good*. :D What kind of candy do you eat?
Ooooh, I see. That's too bad, that it's not real. xD
Only someone like Tony (who can put away how many desserts? Six or seven? If not more?) could like that cereal. Lol!
Hehe, thanks. x3 Actually, I think that was only Cody *imagining* that happening. Jake reassured him that he, Jake, was the one who let them in, and Cody seemed relieved ("Oh thank goodness, my uncle *didn't* pull a gun on someone").

That is very true. Breakfast can vary with everyone. There are days when I get up very hungry and days when I don't.
Mmm, I love fruits.
Candy that I like are: Milkyway, Jelly Belly, sugarfree gums, cotton candy, and Runts. Just to name a few.
That would've been hilarious though if it was real.
Tony does have a sweet tooth.
Oh yeah, that's right. I thought it actually happened at first.

Yup. The human body is weird sometimes, y'know?
What kind of fruits do you like? All, or just some?
Wow, you like way more candy types than I would have thought! Cool. HAH! I remember Runts! Haven't had any of those in *years*! They're just so sugary to me now. xD
YES. I like to imagine it's the final commercial that's ever aired before they completely discontinue Trix... but that's only because I don't like them. If there are others who still like them, well then... yeah. Lol...
Yup. No wonder he was fat as a child. Good thing he started working out, at least.
So did I, actually. It wasn't until much later that I realized it was an 'imagine spot.'

Awesome. :D
LOL! Actually, my fanfic takes place after most of the 3rd floor Richter Hall residents have moved away (Mikey and Dani are the only ones left of the original cast), so Tony wouldn't be here to witness... although since this also takes place in today's timeframe (I got the impression that the CM/ISO world was a floating timeline, much like The Simpsons), that means plenty of other residents can record this on their phones.
