Snack Time

January 11, 2011 (KNOLLWOOD, Ill.) (WLS) -- Sheriff's police are investigating a north suburban Knollwood robbery where a man picked up a snack then robbed the cashier at knifepoint.

On Sunday around 8:30 a.m., the Lake County Sheriff's Office responded to an armed robbery at the Knollwood Walgreens at 12700 Rockland Road.

The cashier reported that a man entered the store, picked up a Rice Krispies Treat, placed the treat on the cashier's counter and held out a 3-inch pocket knife.

The robber told the cashier that he did not want to hurt her and that he only wanted the money. The cashier opened the cash drawer, and the offender took $229. The man then fled on foot westbound from the store. Investigators say they believe the suspect got into a vehicle.

If you've ever been inside the Mee household growing up you know there was never a shortage of snacks. Any time you wanted to feed the keg all you had to do was open that cabinet door and pick from the thousand different varieties that were stuffed in there. Shit was out of control, just a legendary selection. Out of all these snacks Rice Krispies had to be in the top five. List probably goes like this:

1.) Cheese Doodles

2.) Dunkaroos

3.) Gushers

4.) Rice Krispies

5.) Mini Muffins

So with that type of selection I never even had to think about stealing me some snacks come snack time. But this guy over in Illinois was craving some rice krispies and was willing to do whatever needed to get some. Don't be fooled by the 229$ this dude got along with the snacks, because I'm 100% sure this guy was just in it for some Krispies.

(P.S. There is still a cabinet in the Mee household that has at minimum 4 boxes of gushers in it at a time, all of which have to be at least two years old, so let me know if you need the gusher hook up, I got you.)
