# haha, excellent! :D
TJ:In other news, I have to say Kellogg's new cereal "Krave" is beyond nasty, and I feel the need to vent... It's like eating a bowl of nutella for breakfast. Oh, and the cereal shells that coat the chocolate nastiness goes all slimey having sat in the milk for a few minutes.

# Apologies for my terribly luddite tendencies,
but is there even any need for any new cereals at all?

Civilisation was pretty much forfeit when people started having chocolate for breakfast, anyway.

But not.

# I don't mind new cereals, just as long as they are edible. I thought I'd try them out, as I heard something about "hazelnuts" in them, and that sounded good.
I didn't realise it was blobs of nutella in a crispy shell...

the justification for this monstrosity of tooth rotting nastiness is here:

# 3rd paragraph - confusing needs with wants.
Mind you it's interesting how the wants of young adults seem almost indistinguishable from that of children these days.

Does it not bother you that you are being "targetted"? If anyone tries to target me, I'll tell them to get to fuck.

Also if you like hazelnuts, I can recommend... hazelnuts.

"Kellogg's Krave is a cereal focussed purely on delivering great taste and enjoyment to this market exploiting the hedonistic tendencies of the foolishness of youth, to their obese, diabetic peril."

# I'm actually struggling to believe the complete lack of irony in that article,
to such an extent that it's making me reply to myself. They're completely candid about their terrifying profit-oriented social engineering project.

# Being of geekish tendencies, as I stared in in disgust at the bowl of obesety infront of me, I looked up the report online...
When I read the reasoning for making the cereal, and why it was aimed at close to my age group, I did feel bit dirty


edit: the comments below the article are brilliant: "I've got through a box or two in a day, its actually quite addictive, and I have to admit, it does taste really nice. I am definitely a nutella fan so this is perfect for me :) "

# I can only imagine it feels like it would on realisation
that while you were giving directions to that tourist, her kids picked your pockets. It's a mean trick, but you've got to kind of admire it in a way.

Edit: that person should try heroin, I hear that's quite addictive too.

Editedit: "Addicted from the first bite! It must have crack in it!"

# "unleashes" = advertising slang for "not that exciting so we'll hype it up a bit"
Would they work as snackfoods without the milk?

# I see a big billboard for this every morning
it has an image of one the 'crave's' escaping the box with a chainsaw.

I don't want to associate breakfast wityh chainsaws. It makes me think the cereal will cut my mouth open

# haha what.

# they have animated adverts on the screens running up the escalators at Tottenham Court Road...
Damn those fancy advertisment screens, damn them!!

# If you add an ingreadient with a strong flavour to an established product,
you can get away with using an inferior standard of your established product.
And, probably sell it for a bit extra too.

In other words:
poor quality cereal + hazelnuts = cereal not going to waste = cash for shareholders.
poor quality olive oil + chilli = oil not going to waste = cash for shareholders.

Every time you see something added to a normal product like that, ask yourself; "what are they trying to hide?"
