I once bought some Jordans
cereal (I forget the actual name of it; suffice to say that
it consisted of unidentifiable lumps of processed grains
and freeze-dried strawberries.) and was sufficiently disappointed
by the gaping chasm between the lifestyle as
promised on the box

do you fall for the marketing hype as a 'lifestyle' that you could lead simply because of the packaging, it's pseudo-pulp journalism thats aimed at anti-comsumerism punks, what exactly do these cerial boxes sell in terms of lifestyle?










simply put, if your kids or yourself cant disinguish between marketing hype and
breakfast cerial, someone failed

waffle house resturants keep the place chilly and picked a hideous color scheme
to increase table turn, orange, yellow and brown are less appealing to most

wouldnt be bright enough to decide for yourself anyway
