Something not right with kellogs packaging.
by: James Collins

As Frank Malone woke up one sunny Monday morning he found that he was out of his favorite cereal, Frosted Flakes.  So he quickly got dressed and jumped into his car to swoop down to his local grocery store to buy some - as he always had Frosted Flakes for breakfast, every weekday. What Malone would soon find out, would be that Kellogs had made a mistake in packaging that day which would change his life forever.


Malone stopped first at Safeway, where he hoped to pick up a box of Frosted Flakey goodness, but found that they were out of the morning snack. One of the cashiers we interviewed said : "You know them Frosted Flake boxes sell like hotcakes during the after-christmas sales."So Malone went to Fred-Meyer in hopes of finding a box there, which he did promptly. He bought the cereal for a mere 19.74$ and made his way home.

When Malone opened the box habitually, and poured it into his bowl he did not notice anything awry. When he then applied milk, he was watching the morning news on channel Four because he thought the news anchor was hot, and still did not notice anything wrong.  But when he took his first bite of his Frosted Flakes he found that his flakes were not frosted at all. You bet your boots they weren't. They were Oreos.

Kellogs did not make a comment when we asked them "what the fuck was up with that?"And Frank Malone was quoted saying, "I aint buying no more kellogs bullshit frosted flakes no mo. I'm stick'n wif the cheap-ass bagged cereal from here-on-out. FUCK KELLOGS."
