Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 14, 2008
Transcript:
Alice: This isn't my usual cereal box! Mom: It's almost the same. Alice: What do you mean almost? There's no picture of Happy the Hyena! I miss his cereal-crazed antics! Was he fired for being insufficiently cereal-crazed? Mom: Alice, it's the store brand. It's two dollars cheaper than the Happy Hyena brand. And it is almost the same cereal. Alice: Well, we'll just see. UGH! This cereal has a strange texture. And the marshmallows are drab, misshapen and poorly distributed. Mom: Then I'll just fix you a big bowl of hot cereal! And look what we've got - instant oatmeal, extra lumpy, with raisins! Alice: Ha ha! Actually this stuff is pretty darn good!
Next time, Mom, save a name brand box and put the store brand inside.
