Remember the old days of Sesame Street? There used to be this game where kids would have to pick which item was not like all the other items. Ha- I can still remember the silly song!
One of these things is not like the other,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you find which thing is not like the other,
By the time I finish my song?
Yes, I agree that it’s sad that I still remember this song. However, you might understand why I’m reminded of it when you see this picture:
If you guessed that the Cocoa Pebbles don’t belong, you’re right.
Guess who they belong too?
Hint- If you guessed, me, Boz, or Lucy you’re incorrect.
Oh, and if you’re wondering why in the WORLD I have an entire cabinet devoted to South Beach and Kashi items, it’s because they don’t sell a lot here so I order them online. Plus, Will got me several boxes when he was home a few weeks ago.
While I was poking around our cabinets I just had to take a picture of this (it’s too funny):
Let’s analyze!
I know the picture cuts off some of the box, but you’re able to see all you need to:
Get Happy Inside.
Can I simply say eating All Bran Bran Buds will NOT make you happy inside?
In fact, you will be so UNHAPPY and miserable inside that you will wish a UFO will land on the Earth and slimy green aliens will take over your body so that they will feel bloated,miserable, and 5 times their weight instead.
Did you know a serving of that stuff is like .33 of a cup? Uh- raise your hands if you eat .33 of a cup of cereal!
If you raised your hand- you’re lying. Who eats a little over a quarter cup of cereal?
NO ONE!
So- if you eat .33 of a cup of this stuff, I’m sure you will be happy inside. I think a serving has 55% of your fiber requirements. Pretty good.
However- for the normal population of people that live and function in the world- we all eat at least half a freaking cup of cereal each morning. I’ll go even further to say that most of us eat 3/4 to 1 cup of cereal a day.
That means we’re eating about 233.234% more fiber than the average requirement.
Trust me your body will NOT be happy inside.
Also- you see how it says “You’re In Control!” All pretty and yellow?
Just FYI- you’re NOT.
You’re SO not.
Did you notice that it also mentions a “Feeling of Lightness?”
AHAHAHAHAHA
Um- not so much.
One bowl of that stuff and you feel like a bloated hot air balloon carrying a freaking Peterbuilt Semi in the basket.
Ha. Lightness. That’s so funny.
These freaking cereals need to come with a warning.
Something like:
Warning! Consuming More Than a Serving of this Cereal Will Cause:
Uncontrollable Cramping, Bloated Tummies, Inability to Concentrate During Important Meetings, Odd Facial Expressions, and Embarrassing Foot Shaking/Twitching
Please (seriously- for everyone’s sake) exercise caution when eating more than a serving. We recommend staying home the entire day.
And Wet Wipes.
Lots and lots of Wet Wipes.
Ha Ha, just kidding.
(not really)
LOL, you are too much!!!
