Gotta' get them honey and nuts, dude!

Those were (probably) the words of one Hulk Hogan after tasting Honey Nut Cheerios for the first time in the late-80s. Far more into his taking his vitamins and saying his prayers for breakfast, the Hulkster posted a hilarious throwback to his Cheerios commercial on Instagram this week, and admitted that he suddenly became 'addicted' to the things.

OK, so there's some tongue-in-cheek humour here, we get it, but don't you love the idea of Hulk springing out of bed each morning, talking to a fictional cartoon honey bee and shovelling spoonful after spoonful of cereal into his mouth?

According to Hogan, the love affair with General Mills' delicious creation lasted around three years before he kicked the habit. Throwaway joke or not, it's one of the most awesome stories to come from the internet this week, and it was impossible to leave out here.
