Existence = Life and Glazed Tiny Grains = Frosted Mini Wheats, but I haven't figured out what the other two are.

Ah, nice! I should have figured that one out.

Ahh, “Weev” is a four-letter version of “Weave” the same way “Chex” is a shortened “Checkerboard”, perhaps referring to the Ralston Purina checkerboard logo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It looks like Chex, so I suppose that makes sense. Aren't you all focusing on the wrong things though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I assumed something like shredded wheat.

Trix and Cookie Crisp I think.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think you're right. Cookie = Sweetdisk I can see, but Crisp and Chomp are pretty different.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I thought it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but that makes a lot more sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I think Sweetdisc Chomp is Honey Nut Cheerios.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Sweetdisk is the Strange planet name for cookie

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I thought Honeycomb.

And Tiny Glazed Grains = Rice Krispies or maybe Smacks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hm, but none of the words in the name correspond, plus it's not so much known as a kid's cereal. And Cheerio is established to be Jauntio here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Honey (sweet) disc (round Cheerios) chomp (nuts). That's how I thought anyway.

My favorite was always Cocoa-Based Bloodsucking Supernatural Being of European Nobility.

Who else turned their phone upside down to check the box?

Easter egg could have been "cocoa encapsulated fructose ordnances?"

I have been able to identify symbols in the rotated position for some solar cycles now.

Lucky Charms

Trix

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Frosted Flakes

Life

Cheerios

Chex

Many human nestlings of the North American variety protest the last two cereal lines because they are a much lower calorie content and sweetness.

I thought the third one was Cookie Crisp

I first understood the 'earlier consciousness' to mean he was born earlier and hence felt he had right to the cereal of choice

I have a daily calendar of these cartoons, and it really is the high point of waking up to turn to a new day. Amazingly, my wife also enjoys it (we are very compatible in most things but not humour).

Took me way too long not to see Juanitos

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

OH it's "jaunty ohs" instead of "cheery ohs" that makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I apologize, I am sure I'm missing something. Where?
