No, that is not a Halloween disguise or temporary tattoo on the corn flake cereal icon.  Rather, in an effort to maintain its corn flake brand identity, Kellogg’s is going slightly above and beyond to set itself above second-rate flake manufacturers.  The potential plan, or should I say, boondoggle, it to literally give each flake [...]

Ah YouTube. Sometimes you’re just wandering around looking for hilarious videos of cats riding vacuums.  But other times, you get a sense of nostalgia, and start randomly watching fast food or cereal commercials from your childhood.
Today I stumbled across a relatively new Corn Pops commercial called “Dragon Dreams.”  The title was intriguing, so I gave [...]

Ahhhhh the 80’s. That lovable time when marketers thought they could turn any movie, TV show, kids toy or video game into, you guessed it, a breakfast cereal.
Dude, I totally don’t remember this at all dude. Nor did I ever try it, so I don’t even know if it’s “most excellent.”  But I am amused [...]

Update: Much like the networks calling Florida for Gore/Bush too early in 2000, So Good called this one too early as well. Turns out the online voting only accounts for 30% of the decision, and 70% is determined by the judges in reaction to the “Bake-Off” that the winners do. The REAL winner of the [...]

But according to the FDA, General Mills has been marketing it as if it was a drug.
According to one news article,
Current boxes of Cheerios are touting what the company calls exciting news — the cereal’s ability to help lower cholesterol 10 percent in one month.
Ok, so there are studies showing Cheerios can lower your cholesterol [...]

Remember back when food companies thought any popular video game, TV show or movie warranted the creation of a breakfast cereal? Phew, thank god we don’t think that way anymore.  Oh wait….
Also, nothing says “eat up” like a decapitated severed hand pouring you a bowl of cereal.

It’s shocking, SHOCKING that this Nerds cereal never seemed to catch on. I mean when you eat Nerds, don’t you always think “these Nerds are delicious, but they would be even better in a bowl of milk?”
Stick around for the last few seconds of the commercial and you’ll see why someone really needs to [...]

At least according to a company called “Vanno” that tracks the brand reputations of more than 5,600 companies. They claim that the company has slipped from #9 to #83 in terms of brand reputation.  If their data is in fact correct, that means that the scathing criticism and calls for a boycott coming from So [...]

Update: Unlike Kellogg’s, Subway has announced they are standing by Phelps and keeping him as their spokesperson. Bravo Subway, bravo.
Yeah that’s right, I said it. I’m going to boycott Kellogg’s. Why? Because otherwise they will think everything is just hunky dory after they fired an American HERO for doing what millions of other 23 year-olds [...]

For those of you hankering for a couple flapjacks plus eggs, bacon and sausage, go into Denny’s today from 6am to 2pm for a free Grand Slam breakfast.  If you are willing to face the lines, it is probably worth a shot.
Here is the terrible Super Bowl commercial where Denny’s let the cat out of [...]

The political food stories keep coming.  From TechCrunch, I’ve learned of two limited edition cereals, created by the operators of the website AirBed & Breakfast.  Obama O’s promise “hope in every bowl,” while Cap’N McCain’s offer “a maverick in every bite.”  Each box costs $39, and only 500 boxes were produced of each.

Slashfood has posted a fun quiz called the “Breakfast Cereal ID Quiz.” It features up close pictures of different kinds of cereal, and you need to identify what cereal you are looking at.

I scored a pretty good, but somewhat underwhelming 16 out of 20. How did you do?

The posting below is from a diary at the liberal site Daily Kos by a user named JeffLieber .  It’s a reaction to the news that a Dunkin Donuts ad was pulled after Michelle Malkin complained Rachael Ray was wearing a keffiyah in the commercial. I made a couple small edits to the original, but [...]

This morning I headed over to McDonald’s to grab one of their free Southern Style Chicken Biscuits.  I was intrigued by the idea of a chicken breakfast sandwich, having really only experienced it at Chick-fil-A before. This sandwich is basically a knock off of those.

The sandwich appeared small at first…you certainly shouldn’t expect anything of [...]
