[info] I just found this funny. The image on the box says “control time with the hourglass…” There’s no disclaimer anywhere on this box that some little dried yellow marshmallows will not really allow you to control time. So is this a true time machine? Being in the marketing world, I found this intriguing. How many kids are eating these, thinking they will be able to control time? I suppose we all do control our own time, but can’t we do that without the marshmallows? If I eat the clovers, will I be lucky and win the lotto? How about the heart? If I eat the hearts, maybe people will stop comparing me with the Grinch. Honestly, I would love to see this in court. General Mills versus the people that can’t control time, even though they ate the hourglasses. Oh c’mon! You know that’s funny. SNL would be all over this idea!
“Control time. Eat more Lucky Charms.” is the tag line on one of my blogs. That’s why I was holding on to these boxes. The one in Spanish has gold embossed letters. Interesting.
