Intro

On this week’s episode, Mookie drops some crazy facts about our favorite childhood breakfast food… CEREAL! And if that’s not mind blowing enough, Erica explains how the world’s worst Vaudeville act became legendary.

 

Cereal Liars

That sugary goodness that revved us up in the morning as kids has been hiding HUGE secrets.  From the origin story to the flavor, you’ll never guess why it was invented in the first place and Froot loops isn’t what you think it is.

 

Cherry Bombs

Believe it or not, the Kardashians weren’t the first sisters to find fame with no talent. The Cherry sisters were branded the worst act ever but still sold out theaters!
