The Proud Boys have an initiation ritual where new members are beaten by the group until they can recite the names of five different breakfast cereals.
Breakfast cereals? That’s pathetically weird.
I know Kellogg’s is trying to fix their image since more people became aware of the anti-masturbation thing but this is not a good sponsorship deal to do that
waht?
Oh boy you are in for a treat. Essentially John Harvey Kellogg was really against masturbation or sex of any kind (He and his wife had separate bedrooms and it is believed he spent their honeymoon writing.) and thought the secret to a good life was eating plain food and good posture.

Can I “join” and not name any cereals just to beat the fuck out of a bunch of proud boys?
I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.
Dammit I’m going to be thinking about this for ages, is this to prove you were lower middle class? Like to make sure they were raised on the same “Saturday morning cartoon” upbringing? To see if they only name “Great Value” brand alternatives? To make sure they weren’t raised on croissants?
I know I’m giving the Proud Boys far too much credit, but I really thought they only check that you get an erection while reciting the pledge of allegiance.
I think it’s more about making sure you can handle yourself under pressure. When there’s multiple guys actively beating the shit out of you, can you still focus on naming the cereals? Or does panic take over and your brain stops working after you only have a chance to name 3? I guess it makes sense that a group of domestic terrorists would want someone that can keep their head on straight when shit hits the fan. Still dumb tho.
I had to look this one up. Why the Proud Boys Initiation Ritual Involves Cereal
I would say these are a bunch of frat boys who peaked in college but I think they are just cosplaying what they think being in a frat would be like.
Yosef Ozia, a member of the Southern Proud Boys chapter who’s based in Atlanta, Georgia, told Extra Crispy that this all stemmed from a fart joke. Yep, a fart joke. McInnes introduced this step based on a rule his buddies had in the past: if someone farted, they’d get beat on until they could list five kinds of breakfast cereal. “It doesn’t mean anything,” Ozia said. “[Initiation] is mostly a joke. A lot of people take it seriously, and they shouldn’t really.”
Obviously this frat-boy shit is dumb, but if you had to figure out if someone was a real American or a spy, this would be an excellent way to do it.
Like if someone said “I eat musli” or “I like grape nuts” you could go ahead and shoot the spy.
Grape nuts was one of the first American cereals
Yeah and everyone who ever ate it was like “oh god, no” and immediately came out with a better cereal.
Like corn flakes. Itty bitty tortilla chips make a better cereal than fucking grape nuts.
You can go fuck yourself because they are great on their own or mixed in yogurt.
Lol I actually do like them with honey. Oh and honey bunches of oats is just corn flakes with granola, that’s good too.
Found the spy!
Quick, somebody shoot 'em!
Grape nuts and muslix are delicious. You unwash philistine.
