GENERAL MILLS CAN BITE MY LUCKY CHARMS
How many people have watched those commercials for lucky charms and see the ones where they advertise that they have added yet again another shape to their cereal? I remember at one time the only shapes that were in the box wer the hearts, stars, horseshoes, clovers, blue moons, and the red balloons. Here we are some time later and they decide to add in new shapes such as the rainbow, pots of gold and...lucky's hat with a clover inside? I don't know specifically what they have now because I refuse to eat the cereal based on moral principle, but needless to say they just keep adding shapes and dumping the old ones that they just don't think kids want anymore. And for what reason? Kids don't like the old shapes? The new shapes taste better? They want to give the kids more in the box by adding more shapes? Fuck no. The bottom line here is money.

By adding an extra shape in the cereal they're not adding any more cereal into the box as they used to, the shapes don't taste any different than the older shapes did, and the new shapes aren't even all that great to look at. Yet they still throw this shit together and charge an extra buck fifty per box (and it's not like sugar cereal doesn't already cost you an arm and a leg to begin with). Where does this extra money come from huh? People are actually getting suckered into buying this cereal because it's a new shape and their dipshit whiney kids with no idea of the world's economics want the cereal with the new shape in it. That reminds me of how much I hate kids. Anyways, that's not all you get with the cereal though. The back of the box contains a game that even a pre-schooler would complain about being too easy. Here's an example of what the game on the back of the box would usually look like:

The thing is that these company's are making the employees work extra hard to create these useless new shapes, just for the sole purpose of putting more money in the damn pockets of the executives. That's why I like golden grahams. They don't have any more than just one shape so there's no chance of them bullshitting around with you. For those of you who don't know what they are, they are those kick ass tasting little squares that taste a hell of a lot better than graham crackers (that they are obviously named after). They come in a simple little box that looks something like this.

If you've never had any before you should re-examine your life.It's too bad that they're made by general mills, the same company that makes lucky charms. In conclusion, blow me.
