Then they, alongside their doughnut masters, are winning! ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS?! ARE YOU GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN?! Heart

Quote:So I think there will be a cereal alliance against the doughnuts, which will result in a fight to the death where the Cheerios would swarm the donuts by sticking to them, thereby suffocating them and killing them all. After that it would be an epic three way battle between Apple Jacks, Cheerios, and Fruit Loops (and any other types of O-shaped cereal I've forgotten, but the Cheerios' sheer numbers will ensure they will emerge victorious).

Don't be ridiculous, round foods of all sorts (even spherical ones) work for the doughnuts. Doughnuts are the masters of all delicious roundness and will rain their sweetness upon us all!

THE STICKY END IS COMING!
