This is mainly for the benefit of Jeremy, since I mentioned this cereal after he complained about a potentially hazardous "Spider-Man 2" toy in a box of Frosted Flakes:



In the over 100-year history of breakfast cereal, how many box designs have not had the full name of the cereal on the front? According to the side panels, the name of this cereal is Shrek 2, but what it says on the bowl there is "Shrek's (not Donkey's)," and then the small white text is "Sweetened Corn Puffs with Marshmallow Pieces." I'm not sure if General Mills had this same cereal out a couple years ago to tie in with "Shrek," but I don't remember it.

And it doesn't have any toy in it, and the computer at the Ralphs checkout accepted that a coupon for "$1.00 off any 3 of the General Mills cereals listed below" could be used on it, even though it wasn't one of the cereals listed (but what seemed like every other General Mills cereal was).

Oh, and by the way, Jeremy also informed me tactfully that the link to the left for this blog's "site feed" was incorrect. But that has been fixed, so those of you who are using a "newsreader" can now enjoy posts like this. Me, I remember when "newsreader" only referred to something that could connect to Usenet. Or, you know, Walter Cronkite.
