I Bought 7 Boxes of Barbie Cereal

I'm not ashamed in the slightest.

Food Lion was having a close-out sale for this limited edition cereal. The retail was 3 bucks, but I got each box for 99 cents with my MVP, literally buying the remainder of them. I was a bit skeptical of the cereal at first, lowering my expectations simply because it was Barbie. My cousin ended up buying some of the cereal earlier this year, and when I tried it....man, oh man, it was delicious. Too bad it's limited edtion, though. I sure as hell would have bought some more if it was there permanently.

Why did you buy seven boxes of cereal? Are you going to eat that much of it that fast?

Why did you buy three boxes of cereal? Are you going to eat that much of it that fast?

I'm pacing myself. The family is already vying for a couple of my boxes. We'll see what happens.

Man, this is sounding more like crack and less like cereal. Careful, man.

How much did you sell it to him for?

Re: I Bought 7 Boxes of Barbie Cereal

I've heard that the street value of Barbie cereal is about $50 an ounce, so that makes it about a $500 box.

A dollar. I mean, I don't make a profit, but I at least get my money back.

After taxes its around $1.03 (4% tax here in Virginia) so he actually lost 3 cents.

Maybe Im just looking too into these things...
