Non-nutritive Cereal Varnish

Product warning: I don't particularly recommend Cascadian Farm cereals due to the following - Olivia had some Vanilla Crunch yesterday morning for breakfast. Crunch, by the way is what they call a cereal that they want you to think is a great deal on granola. It is actually just flakes, rice puffs, and about two pieces of granola held together in granola-like chunks with some sort of non-nutritive cereal varnish and sold to you for about 3/4 the price of real granola. Anyway, Olivia had some yesterday for breakfast. I let her eat it sitting on the counter - it was the Sabbath after all - why not give her extra special priviledges on the Sabbath as a foretaste of our eternal Sabbath, right? (That and we don't have a kitchen table and Joseph was occupying more than his fair share of the kids' table.) Anyway again, she made a bit of a mess and in our hurry to get to church I left it on the counter. We had a long and busy (but quite worshipful and restful - more on that later) Sabbath. In our one block of time back at the condo, I chose to take a nap with the kids rather than clean the kitchen. This morning I went to wipe the counters...I had to use a knife to chisel the durn stuff off the counter top. Seriously. It would not come off! I hope the acid in her stomach does a better job than hot soapy water at breaking this stuff down! All that to say - I don't recommend Cascadian Farm cereal. You have the information - do with it what you will.
