what is the most important thing? breakfast. no, family.
ok, sorry, i was checking out cuban´s arrested development quote page again, and had to add it.
so i was eating cereal this morning, my general mills (insert registered trademark here) product, and noticed (it was difficult not to) the large yellow star in the top left corner that screamed at me: ¨this product made specially for foreign export¨! ok. wow. made just for me.
but why was it made just for us living in a foreign land. my sis caroline suggested that it allows them to bypass the fda. this is kind of scary, i mean, what am i eating? does general mills (reg trade) really want to pass off their waste product to foreigners? do they realize i live here? should i send them a letter reminding them that god fearing, stars and stripes waving, nascar watching, fast food consuming children of the free market economy also suck this product down in the morning? would they recall it all right away? nafta, what do you have to say about this? was this what you were created for initially? to allow usa companies to export all the rat droppings and save the rat parts for the good ole us of a? i mean, i like rat meat.
i must admit that i have had this cereal in the states and there is one ingredient in my bowl this morning that was never in it at home. it seems odd to me, but then again, i ate cow head and liked it. who knows.
made specially for foreign consumption. it almost sounds like a treat. ¨now with three times the sugar as before!¨but i know that is not true because sugar is expensive. ¨now loaded with all sorts of chemicals that won´t pass usa govt regulations but we just wanted to test on foreigners first before giving them to our lab rats¨ might be the more appropriate slogan.
either way, i just wanted you all to know that i am getting more in my bowl of cereal than you are. nyea nyaah. i get something special, you get plain old cereal. thank you general mills. and thank you easter bunny. bwok bwok.
