For all of the non-American readers of this blog, the above photo might seem like nothing out of the ordinary. But for an amazed Michigander like myself?
Tresor? Chocos? Honey Bsss Loops?
What kind of magical wizardry is this?
This latest entry in our reader-submitted Spooned & Spotted series is of the cereal aisle selection at a store in Vienna, Austria. Frequent contributor Marc P. (thanks as usual, Marc!) sent us this photo from his recent Austrian vacation.
While almost every cereal here has an American equivalent, seeing an international take on some of the favorites that Americans may take for granted is, at least to me, incredibly fascinating. I’m always intrigued to learn about all the many cereals of the world. And man, some of these boxes are just so gorgeous that I want to rub my face all over them frame them!
Why can’t the U.S. have super kawaii female bee mascots? Why can’t we have monkeys advertising our Cocoa Krispies (sorry Snap, Crackle, and Pop, but you can’t top a monkey in a hat)? And most importantly:
Why can’t we have the Nesquik Bunny on the front of a cereal with pieces that look suspiciously like…you know…actual rabbit poop?
Okay, maybe there’s an obvious reason for that last one.
