Frightened by rice krispies

Post Reply New Topic

You ever get scared by little sounds when the rest of the room is silent because of how loudly they sound to you?

Several times I have poured myself a bowl of rice crispies late at night and I forget about it for a second. Then when I'm in silence I hear the noise like something is moving and it scares the poo out of me. Then I realize it's just my cereal.

Last night I was staying over my parent's house and at around midnight I decided to get a snack of bagged popcorn. My parents had both gone to bed, and when I was putting the popcorn in a bowl my dad suddenly pops up from behind me and says to remember to turn the lights off when I go back downstairs. I kind of freaked and yelped a little, which freaked him out a little but then we both had a chuckle over it.

When I started playing The Simpsons Tapped on my tablet I had to turn the notifications off because one time I heard Homer's voice say "Mmmm, crops!" and making his signature gurgling sound, which is normally funny but late at night when it's quiet it's more like out of a horror movie.

But scared of the sound of my own cereal? I don't think I ever have been.

Cereal killers? Lol!

Snap, crackle, and pop?

Scary?

Can't say that I have ever noticed that.

But I do admit that hearing footsteps above your head at night in an apartment is scary when you're used to living by yourself in a house. Takes getting used to.

Little noises do make me freak out a little, but since I don't eat cereal at night I've never had that experience.

I don't usually get scared by little noises, but I notice them, I definitely notice them!
Apparently everybody else in the house says I have "supersonic hearing" ... I hear EVERYTHING .. okay, not everything, but still....

When I do get scared .. ugh! I swear my heart stops beating properly ... my chest will get a weird feeling to it, which subsides after a few minutes.

...Snap crackle PLOP ! hehhehheh...........

Ever seen that old B&W commercial for Rice Krinkles? It's basically sugar frosted Rice Krispies, and it is not for people who are afraid of clowns. I learned last night that Krinkles the clown was actually the more PC replacement for the cereal's more controversial mascot, a stereotypical cartoon Chinese boy. I'm sure he never gave any kids nightmares, though.
