"Life Begins at Sixty" by Abide

Here is your Sunday Summer Substitute. The meta answer is a cereal. Should be straightforward and sunny, with a 50% chance of Google.

Sssolved. Definitely in the google contingent.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I must be living in a different universe. I had to Google them all, I've never eaten the answer, and I don't understand the title I had to Google to understand the title, whose wit will be more appreciated by those who didn't have to Google it.

I had to google most too. But I did know the bunny, of course! Also, my husband is a rigorous commercial muter; I miss out on a lot in Life!

Oh, okay, I misinterpreted the title, but I see it now.

And now I'm hungry. Mikey likes it!

@Bird Lives Now you know how I feel about TV shows. LOL

However I did have to google 2 of the four but meta came easily after that.

SSSolved!

My question is: Do you pick up the bowl and drink the delicious leftover milk out of it? And if so, who taught you to do that?

It was my father in my case. Just one of the perks of eating a family breakfast around the kitchen table.
