Sometimes being an adult is a double-edged sword. On the positive side you’re free to do what you want. On the negative side no one tells you not to buy fruity pebbles. But what adult doesn’t enjoy an occasional kids cereal like this or Captain Crunch? No one I’ll be doing business with. Fruity Pebbles […]
