Newsflash: Apparently there is Grape-nuts ice cream at Ashley's. (Or there was last night. Who knows how long it'll last... I'm out of town so I'm praying they'll still have some tomorrow.)
Also, Jerry Seinfeld has Grape-nuts in his apartment! (At least on his show...)

Briefly...
I literally dreamt about Grape-nuts ice cream last night. I was ecstatic.
Also, fantastic email from my dad:
Morg,
I like Grape-nuts and have for as long back as I can remember. This cereal was one of the few--back then, times are different now--that stayed crunchy in milk. I had them mainly--probably exclusively--for breakfast, sometimes mixed with other cereals for some sweetness. When the Trail Mix variety came out--several years ago?--I started getting that. I first noticed the Trail Mix Grape-nuts while I was in Ukraine. The little commissary in the embassy would have it in stock occasionally, and I'd stock up. Today it's a mix; I finished a box of Trail Mix yesterday and will need to resupply once the snows melt and we can get to the store. Question: why the small box?
Love,
Dad
I don't know for sure about the small box, but my guess is the small box of Grape-nuts actually weighs the same as a larger box of other cereal. I can imagine picking up a regular-cereal-box-sized box of Grape-nuts, not knowing what they were, and being shocked at how much it would weigh. Still, old-time fans like us would appreciate the option of a large box... Perhaps I'll write to Post.
