I know that it would be too much to point to this photo as the portent of the end of civilization, I know that, but there’s a teeny part of me that wants to say it anyway. You know why? Look at it… think about it… look again… no I’m not racist, LOOK AGAIN! Yep, you don’t even have to TRY to find the next number in this cereal box connect-the-dots game. “Is it a cereal for babies?” you ask, stupidly. No. “Is it perhaps a cereal exclusively for stupid people, or maybe the blind?” There was no indication of such exclusivity on the box. This cereal is for regular, puzzle-lovin’ folk like myself (and kids probably), but it’s completely insulting everyone’s intelligence. I LOVED doing connect-the-dots activities, and fold-to-see-another-picture type things and whatever else used to be fun, but this makes me angry. The point of the connect-the-dots puzzle is to have an unknown image magically appear as you draw from dot to dot. And you know what? I don’t even care what this image is supposed to be (which incidentally, I cannot figure out) because I don’t have to work for it - at all. Thanks a lot, Ralphs brand Shredded Wheat Bites. You’ve retroactively ruined my childhood.
