Existence = Life and Glazed Tiny Grains = Frosted Mini Wheats, but I haven't figured out what the other two are.
I think Sweetdisc Chomp is Honey Nut Cheerios.
Naw that's jauntios.
Sweetdisk is the Strange planet name for cookie
I thought Honeycomb.
And Tiny Glazed Grains = Rice Krispies or maybe Smacks.
Hm, but none of the words in the name correspond, plus it's not so much known as a kid's cereal. And Cheerio is established to be Jauntio here.
Honey (sweet) disc (round Cheerios) chomp (nuts). That's how I thought anyway.
illusions = trix
But what’s Weev?
I assumed something like shredded wheat.
Chex, maybe?
It looks like Chex, so I suppose that makes sense. Aren't you all focusing on the wrong things though?
Ahh, “Weev” is a four-letter version of “Weave” the same way “Chex” is a shortened “Checkerboard”, perhaps referring to the Ralston Purina checkerboard logo.
Ah, nice! I should have figured that one out.
Trix and Cookie Crisp I think.
I thought it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but that makes a lot more sense.
I think you're right. Cookie = Sweetdisk I can see, but Crisp and Chomp are pretty different.
I agree. Sweetdisk is established to mean to mean cookie.. Malt O Meal “Cookie Bites” cereal does exist, but it’s a not so well known rip off of Cookie Crisp.
