They're Grrrrrreat!

Of all the cereals marketed to kids, the most boring of them all has to be Frosted Flakes. No rainbow colored rings of cereal. No fun shaped marshmallows. It's boring. Yet, it's Torii's favorite cereal. Why? "Because eating Frosted Flakes makes you good at sports," Torii told me. If you've ever watched any Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network then you've been treated to at least one Frosted Flakes commercial every break. (If you missed it, it was probably right after the Moon Sand commercial where you yelled at your child for the millionth time, "No! You can't have any Moon Sand!" and then stormed out of the room and into the bathroom for at least 30 seconds of alone time). In these Frosted Flakes commercials athletic young kids eat Frosted Flakes, play sports of all kinds and chant "We are Tigers, mighty, mighty Tigers". These commercials have my little future consumer begging his mom for Frosted Flakes."You know that's just a commercial, right," I asked Torii. "Mom, I know I won't turn into a tiger," Torii said like I was the dumbest mom ever, "But it will make you good at sports."
