I love going to supermarkets in Canada. Every cereal box is a Rosetta Stone with writing in English and French. If a box has a word game, it has to have word games in both languages.
Some cereal boxes had records imprinted. You cut them out, played them on your dinky record player at 45rpm. A little wobbly and off, terrible sound quality, but at age 6 what did I know?
They snuck lessons into our cartoons in the 1970’s, with “Schoolhouse Rock”. Every kid in my sixth grade class could sing the preamble to the Constitution, and knew a song about every part of speech in grammar. I imagine the third graders were down the hall singing the multiplication tables.

Many cereals have, at various times, had educational information on their boxes.

Why would anybody put something you have to cut out with scissors on the back of a cereal box?

Cereal boxes, and now smartphones! Why do we feel need to read with breakfast? Waking up the brain?

But eggs rarely have a surprise inside. And when they do…
