Is junk food for breakfast on 4th of July a thing?

[zoidberg]

A bunch of people on FB have posted about having either sugar cereal, cookie dough, potato chips, or the like for breakfast today.

Am I missing something, or do I just happen to have a bunch of friends who revert to being 5 year olds when they have the day off? (Not that there is anything wrong with that, I do it too, it just seems like such a trend today)

I had someone post about having chili for breakfast. I just assumed they were weird.

[wambam]

I've never heard of this.

But I regularly eat "dinner food" for breakfast.

[gretchenindisguise]

For me it's just that Frosted Flakes are classic Americana in my eyes.

And they were in my pantry - unopened.

[gretchenindisguise]

Oh, and I often revert to being a 5-year-old in the morning.

I made blueberry pancakes. Although with the amount of maple syrup I used, they can be pretty candy.

Are they normally super healthy and feel the need to let loose on a holiday? I don't feel the need to eat potato chips for breakfast because I can eat them anytime at lunch like a normal person.

I do when I don't have to work.

It was just weird, like 5 different people did it so I thought there was some tradition I was missing out on.

I was going to be all, "who posts about this mundane shit?" and then I remembered I posted about my s'mores toaster strudels in the randoms thread.

This is America where we are free to eat whatever the fuck we want.

Ha! I had cold pizza leftover from last night's dinner, but that's not unusual for me. I gave my daughter a Kashi blueberry waffle with frozen blueberries, raspberries and banana. She didn't appreciate the red, white and blue motif, but I did

I don't think it's necessarily uncommon to eat junk food on holidays although cookie dough and chips are a little odd to me. Now, if I had some fudge or chocolate cake, I'd be all over that for breakfast on the 4th of July... or any day, really.

I had cold pizza for breakfast, but I didn't do it for America, I did it because I have low standards.

[iamgrace]

I like cookies for breakfast.

[snickers]

Cold pizza for breakfast is the best.
Chilli for breakfast? Oh dear, that sounds disgusting.
Also, who posts on facebook what they are for breakfast, lol.

It's the one meal i tried to make healthy today. The rest of the day is junky food so I trled to get a solid base down.

I've had a bunch of pics of pancakes with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream. Pinterest FTW.

I'm part of a trend and I didn't even know it!

I don't know but I wanted to let you know that this post inspired me to have ice cream for lunch.  So thank you!

I had a hot dog at the movie theater for breakfast. 'Murica!

And isn't cereal (even sugary) a breakfast food? Vitamins and whatnot?

[UMaineTeach]

I had chips for breakfast at noon, after the parade, while I waited for the chicken to grill.

[eb777888]

I kind of revert to a five year old when it's any holiday. I'm like "yay!! Let's go crazy and eat and drink everything!!!" Except candy is wine.

[Captain Serious]

Independence Day! Eat what you want!

[bornbaker]

I had yogurt and granola for breakfast!

Usually my family would have a healthier breakfast on the 4th - A lot of my family runs an annual 5k.
