Forgive the horrible title...
Incidentally, i felt like cereal today and unsurprisingly, i had none. So i went out for some... Now, to me, pickin a brand of cereal's a love-hate affair... i love lookin at all the colorful lil boxes n all but i hate spendin half my life comparing the merits and virtues of each brand and product and tryin, through some sorta psychic means, to get a taste of it lest i end up blowin a bundle on a box of rubbery pellets ill befitting the succulent-looking grains and fruits(not included in package) depicted in vibrant colors on the packaging itself...
I'm usually partial towards local products, or at least locally manufactured ones, coz, fool that i am, i feel that malaysian stuff're just as good, or even better, than all the other stuff brought in from, say, indonesia. yeah.
So there i was, u know, like, scrutinizin all the boxes on the shelves with my left hand on my chin, occasionally pickin out 2 boxes n holdin the labels together to compare the often-bullshitting nutrition facts... But i decided to go international today.
I settled for some german brand. yup. i like german. german's good.
So, i went home happily with breakfast in hand, and if ur wondering, yes i did have milk at home and no i did not go home, kick myself in the ass to discover that i forgot to buy the milk. That's just so... predictable!
So yeah, just before pourin out the cereal into my bowl, i caught sight of the 'serving instructions' which said to 'place 4 tablespoonfuls into a bowl, pour milk, yada yada...' I mean, like, four tablespoons?!
i read the label with my left eyebrow cocked up and dismissed it with a sneer and a "Tuh!" and proceeded to pour out my usual half a bowl...
Then i poured the milk and sat down and noticed the few pathetic lil grains floatin on the surface of the milk and thought of adding more later on... and it said four tablespoons... Tuh!!! Germans!
3 spoonfuls into the breakfast only did i notice that the bowl seemed shallower than usual... so i dug my spoon into the base. And, yes, i managed to dig out this HUGEASS spoonful of grains!
Like...
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THE BLOODY THINGS EXPAND?!
They shoulda put a warning there or something!
What, was it in german or somethin?! bloodyhell!!!
"achtung!!!: cereal expands to 10 times its original size! Do not be a smartass and disregard instructions! For smartasses with hugeass bowl of cereal, we laugh in your face! ha ha ha!"
anyway... had a ball of a time chewing... and chewing... and chewing...
