Yummy but sad story. My son has been eating kellogg cereals out of his Cocoa Krispies bowl since he was 5. It was given to him when beloved neighbor, Harold, died. Rany wanted the bowl to remember him by. Tonight, in his 12th year, a very difficult time for him at school, and home, the bowl crashed to the floor. He cried for an hour. He's not one to cry. In fact, I've been seeing him struggle with his growing up. He seemed to be letting out all his pent up emotions over loss. Loss of the bowl, his father moving away, and feeling like an out cast at school. If any one knows how to, where to get a new Cocoa Krispies [brown mug with handle] cereal bowl, I would be eternally grateful. It was a very emotional evening for both of us. He said "how will I ever get to enjoy my cereal without my C.K. bowl." Thanks for letting me share my story about Rice Krispies Products.

1. Little pieces of fruit roll-up snacks, like Yogos Rollers, work great to form the antennas on these caterpillar treats.
