What happened to a chicken for every pot?
“In ev’ry pot he said “a chicken” But Herbert Hoover he forgot Not only don’t we have the chicken We ain’t got the pot!” Who knew “Annie” the musical was so prophetic? Just remember that tomorrow they’ll be sun.
Probably labeled a socialist now.
And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!
Sorry, but how does he think someone who is cash strapped is buying the name brand, and not the dollar tree version? Wow this dude is so out of touch
Store brands usually comes from name brand, and sales are sales.
is this what late stage capitalism looks like, when the cause of the problem tries to disguise itself as the genius solution?
Always has been 🌏👨🚀🔫🧑🚀
Now let’s eat the rich for cereal! >:3
I lived on Grape Nuts for like three months in college.
Difference now: I’m not in fucking college.
I suggest that Gary Pilnick eat my ass for dessert.
1kg Kellogg’s cornflakes = €4.79
1.5kg Aldi porridge oats = €1.19
If I’m eating a cereal product for dinner I’ll go with the more filling and versatile oats
Careful where the oats come from. Remember there was an article about oats in canada being grown with chemicals that were shown to decrease fertility. The U.S banned the product but not crops purchased elsewhere using the product.
I’m a Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) fan, and unfortunately the team is owned by Dan Gilbert who also owns Rocket Mortgage. During every game, they run this Rocket Mortgage commercial that shows this schlub of a man bringing home three bags of groceries while the voiceover says how it used to be six bags of groceries for the same price. Then his house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has equity in the house and thus can take out a second mortgage and use the money to pay for … groceries. Just a horrifying, dystopic nightmare with catchy music and an animated smiley house.
Ah, ol’ Dan “Rant in Comic Sans” Gilbert… he also owns like half of Detroit doesn’t he?
Stop buying half full cereal boxes.
Odd that the words are so similar to “let them eat cake”
As the solution it led to was caused by LESS of a problem than exists now. The economic disparity of 18th century France was less than the disparity of today
It was done intentionally by the author. That exact quote wasn’t said by the CEO (although his comments certainly give off that vibe).
The “Let them eat cake” was a political slander. IIRC she was actually quite sympathetic, but the revolution needed fuel.
Thomas Jefferson characterized her as an aloof stubborn person who’s choices brought herself to the guillotine. I wouldn’t say sympathetic, but pandered in hopes of avoiding harm to her and her immediate family, but without giving an actual shit about the country.
It was actually completely unrelated to the revolution. Voltaire was dead for a decade by the time the whole thing kicked off.
Name brand cereal has gotten so expensive. I swapped to store brands and haven’t noticed a huge difference. Probably better to stop eating cereal in general.
It’s all the same dumb shit. There’s like 3 factories that make all the shit.
I can tell the difference in name brand cereal and HEB or malt-o-meals, but its all just carbs and sugar. So i dont need the highest quality frosted flakes or w/e.
Price difference has always been huge as far as I remember. I don’t think I even have bought anything from Kellogg’s myself, cost always seemed too high.
If I ever eat this stuff I prefer muesli over regular cereal. For me it tastes better and in general it should be also healthier since it contains real oats, nuts, dried fruit, sugar amount is not as high. That said I often take the one with chocolate pieces :)
Not wrong, way too much sugar in it for it to be good for anyone’s consumption
I was just at the store today, and overheard some kids asking when cereal got so expensive.
It illustrated just how rapidly they increased the prices.
Like anybody reduced to eating cereal for dinner is buying fucking Kellogg’s when they can get the Aldi version for like a third of the price.
Thats Kelloggs too but without the name. You cant get rid of greedy Corporations because they are their own competitors after buying them.
I don’t think that’s actually true for Kellogg’s, who made a big deal of advertising the fact that they don’t make cereal for other brands.
The Aldi ones are supposedly made by Malt-O-Meal.
Yeah but it’s still a third of the price
As a child i always thought cornflakes in any shape are a good breakfast. As an adult i’m just scratching my head, wondering why we got diabetes for breakfast. If i’d be too poor to eat properly, cornflakes would ve the very first thing that has to go. But i don’t eat them in the first place, so fuck you kellogs boy.
The original corn flakes has actually fewer calories than the special K counterpart. Talk about deceiving. Fuck them.
Store brand cornflakes at best
