I have strange holes of knowledge

[oyceter]

Dude! I just discovered people make Chex mix! Like, with ovens! And not just dumping stuff in a bowl like I thought! Like, with melted butter and Worcestershire sauce! Like, it doesn't just come out of a bag at a grocery store!

Suddenly all the conversations about Chex mix I heard back in college make so much more sense! I am so boggled by this!

this is one of those things everyone else in the world knew, isn't it?

Heh, now this is me feeling OLD -- I still remember very, very vividly how exciting it was when ready-made Chex Mix first appeared on store shelves. (It wasn't even in bags at first, it came bagged-in-a-box, like cereal, and only in the "original" flavor.) ZOMG, Chex Mix ready-to-eat, anytime I wanted it! Since I was in a dorm with no cooking facilities beyond a couple of hot plates at that point, it was downright thrilling, even if it wasn't quite as good as the homemade stuff. ;)

(Oh, and you can also make the homemade kind in a microwave, but that gets to be kind of a pain in the butt if you want to make a really big batch, unless I suppose you have a really big industrial sort of microwave...)
