The other day when I was stuck at work late I had a dinner of cereal. We have the mini boxes at work, the travel kind. First of all, as a kid it was pretty awesome because most of the cereal was sugary stuff like Frosted Flakes, Pops, Apple Jacks, etc. You never went for the plain Kellogg's flakes. Now, as I have matured I find my tastes have changed and that's the first one I reach for. Can't be jacked up on sugar any more...sadly.

So I get me a box and I noticed the dotted line down the middle and remembered how you used to cut open the box and use it as a bowl. How American of us to think we simply DON'T HAVE THE TIME to pour this into a bowl and eat it. If only I could eat it right out of the box. However, there is no dotted line for the actual plastic bag the cereal is in. So you have to try to rip it open with a knife, which if you are eating out of the box, you probs only have a plastic one, which isn't nearly as effective. Those minutes of trying to break the seal could have been used to pour it into a bowl! Plus if you get annoyed you are more likely to either semi cut yourself on the crappy knife and/or rip open the bag sending the cereal flying - which I have done.

Either way, the entire thing is a terrible idea. But that doesn't stop me from doing it again.
