POST cereal thinks we're stupid.

In the 1980's and early 90's, we had this (before it was discontinued):



Now, 20 years later, they give us this:



Same cereal, different titles. Nice try.

First, you're stupid for eating a big ol' bowl of salt and polydextrose for breakfast. Second, you're stupid for careing about the branding for a children's cereal.

So they renamed something. whats wrong with that? maybe "dino pebbles" trademark was taken. maybe they realized "dino pebbles" makes people think of "dino poop".

you make some strange topics.

I hate marshmallows in cereal. It's like Satan took a dump in my cereal bowl.

Re: POST cereal thinks we're stupid.

I thought all childrens' cereal was either Lucky Charms (corn and sugar with extra sugary bits) with a different name, shape, and color, or Apple Jacks (corn and sugar with no extra sugary bits) with a different name, shape, and color.

So, this new branding just means we can add one more to the Lucky Charms school.

Assuming you eat this stuff (which is completely your prerogative; I eat sugar by the boatload), may I recommend trying some of the healthier adult cereals, like Special K, Kashi To Good Friends, Raisin Bran, or Cracklin' Oat Bran? Toss a couple fresh berries in with it and it just dominates against the sugarcorn cereals.

P.S. - If someone could do a comparison between "Cracker Jack prizes THEN" and "Cracker Jack prizes NOW", I'd be much obliged.

What percentage of Bon's topics are about food?

Re: POST cereal thinks we're stupid.

The new box is way more appealing! Fred and Barney are like OH GOD DAMN WOW! rather than just Hey check out Dino and his marshmallows, and that crazy blue swirl makes it seem like The Great Gazoo is taking them and us on a trip through a tunnel that will take us to dimension of UNIMAGINABLE FLAVOR

As requels go, this seems like one of the better conceived in the last decade.

I note he stopped short of calling it art though.
