It was definitely a thing back in the day. Sometime in the late 90s when they all but disappeared on shelves here for some reason I picked up a box of Chex cereal because I'd seen the ads on some VHS I'd rented or a TV ad, anyway, the texture and taste reminded me of the Bugles granted this was plain Chex baked with seasoning. There was some product one of the chip giants made or still makes and the bag was white and red, and it was a puffed chip sort of like Bugles but not actually Bugles, because it wasn't made from corn.Has everyone that's eaten Bugles, made "Bugle fingers" ? I would assume so
I was never a fan of Doritos, though I know many on this site who love them, especially someone who stated they'd polish off a large bag of the Cool Ranch flavor without regret.

Not really a fan of bagels - (unless smothered in smoked salmon and cream cheese) I find them very hard to actually eat, though I don't doubt how heathy they may be.
Last night, I gave a talk (on history) to the local history society in the suburb where my brother lives, and it went down gratifyingly well, to the extent that an immediate return invitation was issued.
Local kids - protégés of the history teacher in the local school, also gave a short presentation, and it is lovely to see kids - particularly girls - speaking in public about stuff such as history with knowledge and enthusiasm (and an impressive mastery of social media); one of them was a girl with Chinese ancestry and to hear her complete command of English, and passionate enthusiasm for the history of the place where she lives was a real pleasure.
Anyway, I have been asked (by the history teacher) to give a presentation to some of her history students in the local school and I was delighted to accept; date and time will be confirmed in due course.

Glad to hear that, creative outlets or are good for improving one's mood.
As for the bagel, in the words of Palpatine "DO IT".

This is terrific, reaching students is very gratifying.

Agreed, it is.
I am always honoured - and always accept - invitations to speak to students, or give presentations to them; it is important for them to have 'role models' and meet people outside of their families and teachers who can talk to them about life experiences, and how they can find a way to make a living from what they study - if they have a passion and love for it.
I remember being that history enthusiast at 15 years of age, I could completely empathise with those kids; to have adults take you, and your interests seriously - and to treat you with the respect due a fellow scholar tilling this field of knowledge - is so important for your self image and self confidence at that age.
This is particularly true for girls, who find it harder - because of social, societal and cultural conditioning - to give enthusiastic voice to their intellectual interests in a confident manner unless they come from an especially supportive family or educational background.

Glad it went well. I’m sure it was well researched and delivered.

Enjoy your bagels. Mrs AFB used to eat cinnamon and raisin bagels. But she can’t these days.
She bakes her own dropped scones and regular scones with ingredients she can tolerate.

Of course. How could you not?

This is fantastic! I wish I had discovered my interest for history during my school years (I never had anything against it, I read history books by myself, but I never stepped it up). I also wish that more people - esp. adults - were more interested in the subject; you can really tell between someone who doesn't and some who does just by the way they reason and by the elements they take into consideration.

History, Geography and Art were my favourite subjects but then everything changed down the track.

Not a fan of bagels here.....I find most of them too hard to chew and even the softer ones are a bit of a challenge. Actually, in general I'm not much of a bread person anyway, but once in a while will have an English muffin with peanut butter and jam on it as a change for breakfast.
Gutwrench, your question about dyslexia suggests that either you or someone you know may be having issues of some sort.....my recommendation would be to check things out with your doctor.

Good points bagel. I've cut way back and prefer muffins these days. But a legit fresh bagel is wonderful. Though not with cream cheese (Do not like cc) - they slathered cream cheese on both instead of butter on mine. Wiped most of the cream cheese off...
@decafjava your Palpatine imitation gave me chills.
Oh wait, that's the supplemental AC blowing on my head!

I’m dyslexic. Spell check is a godsend.
I see someone's seen the Tom Hanks interview.

I've done all sorts of terrible things to create a cup of coffee in the morning (in some cases, it was only coffee in name ...)
Speaking of Tom Hanks, it's time for David S. Pumpkins.
