MEMBER SINCE: March 2005
occupation: Environmental Super-Hero
body mods: Enough that people wonder how I make it through a metal detector when I am traveling
into: Fast toys, marine aquariums, potato cannons, mountain climbing, yoga instructors
stats: Green-eyed gypsy
crush: my punk rock princess
most humbling moment: I was walking down a wooded path in Yellowstone, watching a meteor shower on my way back to my cabin . . . suddenly the earth moved beneath my feet, as I had just stepped on a bison sleeping on the side of the hill I was going down
i lost my virginity: but then I found it again . . . oh wait, no, that's just a power drill covered with dog hair. I guess I lost it.
makes me sad: discarded plastic water bottles on the side of a hiking trail, cranky internet connections, shiny paint on off-road vehicles, zoos
makes me happy: dark chocolate, watching my aquarium (coral really is quite cool . . . really), the little monkey-bear, long hikes
Recently Cheerios has decided to return to the tradition many of us experienced, looked forward to and damn near counted on of putting little toys in the cereal box. Right now buying a 16oz box of Cheerios also gets you a Lego car or truck to play with. Cheerios + Lego = WIN.
Today I have learned that this more-for-less logic is completely false.
A 16oz box of Cheerios containing a toy mixed with a 2.5yr old armed with a vacuum cleaner expedites the toy removal process however it also renders the Cheerios inedible. I can also attest to the fact that the Dyson claim that their vacuum doesn't lose suction is correct (or at least in the case of sucking down 16oz of Cheerios in rapid order). In fact, I would have received infinitely more edible Cheerios and more Lego's if I had bought the 8.8oz box and the little package of Lego's for $0.99 one isle over.
BTW - we got the blue 4x4. It is pretty cool.
