Honey Nut Cheerios are an American staple. A national treasure, if you will. So why is General Mills trying to desecrate the best part of my childhood?

The good folks at General Mills are rolling out Pumpkin Spice Cheerios this fall. It's the first time since 2000 that they've releasing limited-edition flavors of Cheerios, due to the fact that sales are down 18% in the past five years.

The current limited-edition flavor is Strawberry Cheerios. Apparently this is what the world is coming to.

Fortunately, I'm not basic, so the chances of Pumpkin Spice Cheerios falling into my face are slim to none.
