Obviously I have a twisted view on breakfast cereal advertising, but the sexual
connotations are blatant.  I took these cereal box photos in Walmart - the photographs
of the ladies are quite suggestive, but surely whatever is on their faces isn't what you think it is.  Link to Fake recipes.

 
The recurring theme of the breakfast cereal box advertising genre, is usually a 'male'
animistic cartoon character/creature  thrusting a spoon full of the cereal towards the viewer at their 'waist height'.  The look on their face is always disturbing - in fact their huge grin
and glassy eyed expression is an accurate depiction of climax if ever I saw it.


The milk explodes in a completely un-natural fashion, that would lead one to believe
that there is something else being alluded to.  I mean - unless you have some severe
case of parkinson's disease how could the milk possibly vibrate and explode from
off of your spoon in such a fashion?


Here we see the green patriarchal frog clenching firmly his  'spoon' in one hand, 
ejaculating it's contents, with the overly suggestive comment on his belly - reminiscent
of the dialogue in any cheap porn.  If we then look back to the woman on the left -
it really does look as if she has eaten an entire bowl of Rice Krispies straight from the bowl.


'Crunch-a-tize Me Cap'n!'.  Again we see the exploding spoon offering, clenched at
waist height, with a cross-eyed and toe curled 'cap'n'.  Grey haired men dressed as
sailors shouldn't be selling breakfast cereal.


Fred Flintstone?  Wasn't he some 1920's cartoon version of Jackie Gleeson in the
Honeymooners that used to beat his neanderthal wife - 'Why I Oughta. .' ? .

But not to worry, there's a free DVD that comes with this package of Raisin Bran.
The DVD synopsis has something to do with 'toasty flakes' who will be 'bursting with 
plump sweet raisins.'  All of this will be done in 'irresistable honey clusters'.
I honestly blush whenever I walk through the breakfast cereal aisle.
