An interesting cereal Arrrrrival.

Post by zenmondo » Feb Mon 06, 2006 2:50 pm

The other night, shortly after 10 pm, we ran out of toilet paper. In our household this is not something that can be remedied in the morning. I had to go out, and buy more toilet paper. Because of the time, there was really only one option as to where to purchase said TP. Wal-Mart. So I went to the store of last resort. After I had the 12 double rolls of Cottonelle with Aloe & E in hand, I scooted down the cereal aisle. I found gold, there my mateys. Cereal Gold. This is perhaps the best Cereal packaging I have ever come across. A most unexpected cereal-product tie-in. What is it says you? Continue on and find out, says I.

IS that not cool? Captain Jack Sparrow himself selling a box of "Chocolate Pearl-Shaped Cereal <i>with</i> Pirate-Shaped Marshmellows. Who would have thought we would ever see Johnny Depp on a box of cereal? But there is more. Oh Yes, this box is jam packed with Piratey goodness printed all over. Here is the back:

Four different games jammed onto the back of this thing. This cereal box goes above and beyond the call of duty!

Here we have a Pirate vocabulary word, another picture of Captain Jack Sparrow, and a reminder that the movie will be in theaters in 2006. We also see that this cereal that was on the shelf the first week of Febuary will still be good the first week of November.

The cereal itself was pretty yummy. It is basically Co-Coa Puffs with the marshmellows from Lucky Charms. Isn't that also the recipe for Count Chocula come to think of it? I guess its too much to ask to come up with a whole new cereal, all the work obviously goes into the box.

Oh Jeez. Johnny Depp on a cereal box. I'm going to laugh so hard on my next Wal Mart trip. But I won't be surprised if a box ends up at our apt.

Thats pretty much why I bought it. I thought it was so funny!

So who do you think would win in a fight? Captain Jack Sparrow or Cap'n Crunch?

Well cartoons can take a punch better then humans, of course Jack has a large crew and the cap'n only has two kids. So I say Jack might just win that one. This cereal is basically coco-puffs and lucky charms put together. Sometimes I eat cereal dry, before you say eeeewwww try it. You just have to have a cup of milk with you if you eat allot. I know, why not just put the two together like usual, but then they aren't crunchy for long and the milk hides the taste of the marshmellows or SUGAR.

Arrr, mateys. It be the breakfast of swashbucklers! What a way to start the morning. Chocolate flavored pearls and piratey marshmallows. I'm off to conquer my fluid mechanics (sounds like I'll be needing me ship for this one!) exam.
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

Does this mean he has to be referred to as "Cap'n" Jack Sparrow now?
