Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 27, 2009

Alice: As breakfast is the most important meal, I put a lot of thought into choosing my cereal. When scanning the cereal aisle, I'm careful to avoid earth tones, subdued fonts or any hint of restraint in packaging design. These are warning signs of a boring cereal. I look for radioactive colors, eye-watering fonts and obsessive animal mascots. An obsessive animal mascot - rabbit, bumblebee, bear, monkey, squid, etc. - is a key indicator of a good cereal. Even better is an obsessive imaginary creature, say a fanatical leprechaun or a rabid unicorn. Dad: Hey, Alice, did you know hot dogs are merely a vehicle for the condiments? Alice: Daddy! I'm still discussing cereal!
