Cereality.


Another case of one of my ideas that has come to fruition before I get a chance to do it. I've mentioned a few times the idea of a breakfast bar that's main attraction is a full service cereal bar. I had the whole thing pictured, over 50 (yes, 5-0) cereals, various milks (Skim, 1%, 2%, Chocolate, Strawberry, Soy, Rice, Whole, 3 Musketeers Flavor, etc.), and toppings out the wazoo. True paradise.

Well, last Saturday after trooping from the Hotel QT in Manhattan at 530am, there it was, my dream, bastardized in the form of a huge Home Depot looking cabinet setup and $5 fun size boxes of cereal smack dab in the middle of the A wing of the Newark International Airport. Classic case of great idea, bad execution. I did notice a ton of people looking at the setup, and then walking right by to Starbuck's. They only offered "blends" of different cereals together. What? Any true cerealhead (fuck sneakers yo) knows that should only happen when there is an unsatisfactory amount left in the box, and even then you should only mix complimentary flavors. For example:

-Crunch Berries and Trix- OK
-Cocoa Puffs and Trix- Wrong
-Cookie Crisp and Cocoa Pebbles- Absolutely
-Rice Krispies and Grape Nuts- Try Again Bitch.

Seriously people, have some respect.
