Just move to a small farmers village in Sweden.
My kids get to eat all the sugary cereal they want (preferably American colorful ones that we doesn’t have, that they end up disliking anyway because they’re too sweet)

My sister had a gigantic one as her “Teddy bear” towards the end he only had one eye, a broken arm and a half hear.
She scared kids at the playground with that one. She still has it but he’s tucked away in a closet because he scared her now husband as well
