Transcript:
Dad: You're going as just a box of cereal? Isn't there a happy mascot on the box you could be? Alice: No. Alice: Blammo cereal has no front man or mouth piece to act as an intermediary with the public. Dad: I admire the purity of your taste. Alice: There was a mascot named Blammy K.Blammo, but he ate three bowls in quick succession and exploded.

Is Blamo a product of the makers of Sugar Bombs?
GROG Premium Member about 15 years ago
Lonewolf I think most most cerials on the market today have a “sugar bomb” effect.
I brought some dry and supposedly good for you honey nut cherios to work. Sweeeet. For my taste, no added sugar needed.
And to think that as a kid, I used to add about 2 spoonfulls of sugar to the cerial of the day I was eating.

poor Blammo must have been off-gassing worse than Petey’s homework!
Just think what would have happened if he hadn’t exploded! I bet the K in Blammy K. Blammo stands for KABOOM

Giving primary importance to one’s Personal Relationship with Breakfast, rather than reliance upon intermediaries? Is Alice the Martin Luther of sugary cereals?

Good thing Alice’s mom isn’t listening to this ‘cause if she heard about Blammy K Blammo and his fate that cereal would be history in their house….
