12 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching Breaking Bad

5. Walter Jr.'s Finally Gets The Right Cereal

Breaking Bad
AMC

He's had a bit of a hard life, but Walter Jr. is a little s**t. All the way through the series he looks up to his terrible father while lambasting his "bitch mother", having a pop at her for every little grievance, right down to getting the wrong cereal for breakfast.

Now, Walter Jr. likes his breakfast more than most people, and as a result he makes his displeasure clear when Skyler buys Raisin Bran rather than Raisin Bran Crunch, which he specifically asked for. It's not exactly a big moment, and he's only slightly annoyed in the grand of scheme of things, but it's a detail not forgotten by the show itself.

Three years later in the second episode of Season 5, Walter Jr. is seen having breakfast with his father, and on the table is a fresh box of Raisin Bran Crunch. His father's descent into the criminal underworld might have ruined his life, but at least he got his cereal.
