You're not supposed to unsee it. You are very much supposed to notice the chicken on the box. That's kind of why it takes up half the box and is in green.
I have also seen it, I cannot unsee it. It’s in the corner of my eye wherever I go. It haunts my dreams, it watches me on the throne.
It says it is Kurinyi Bog, protector of the chickens. It says that one day, all of chicken-kind will rise up and overthrow their human masters. It says that I am to be the herald of our doom. HARKEN TO MY WORDS!!!1 THE GREAT GOD KURINYI DEMANDS BLOOD!
I read this while cereal shopping, the whole aisle cracked up laughing at your words...we've all resolved to forever refer to cornflakes as Kurinyi blood sacrifice flakes!
This made me have a quiet chuckle to myself. Too bad it's 3am and I'm in my apartment or else I'd have gone on the balcony and invited everyone in the vicinity to join in.
Right then and there we all agreed!!! Even had an insanely long meeting about it but in the end, the counsel decided to forever call them "chicken cornflakes".
I was there. They didn’t mention what happened after. In the aisle, there was an old man laughing to himself facing the cereal. He turned around and pulled off his long white beard.
“I’m Mr. Kellogg , child. Whenever someone calls them Chicken Cornflakes, I appear”
Everyone gasped at once, then clapped!
“Whoever says it, gets injected with this” he says as he jabs the child in the neck with a syringe.
He only said the words, “Blood parasites” before vanishing into a box of Fruit Loops.
Expected the syringe to be castration or religious trauma since the whole point of Cornflakes (back then) was that they were the only sugar free cereal, because sugar (according to Kellogg) makes young boys touch themselves, which is a sin.
Not to brag, but I live 3 states over and I sensed that something hillariously cute was about to happen so I made sure to get there and within earshot before it did. Even the cashier closed her lane to come watch. Kid was a little too soon, the Aldi CEO was trying to get there too, but missed it by about 90 seconds
The most shameless one for me was that woman who drove her pregnant daughter to an abortion clinic and somehow managed to distill business insights from it. True LinkedIn-influencer mindset: no boundary too sacred, no moment too private.
This seems like two stories: one that actually happened and another that isn't even a story. 1) A kid calls Kellogg's Chicken corn flakes. Seems totally plausible. 2) Shoppers, staff, everyone laughing together and you will never unsee it. Seems like it was added by someone else who found the story on the web or overheard it.
So real. I once overheard a child call an eclair a chocolate hotdog but I didn’t feel the need to write a fake story about it. I do, however, call seltzer ‘spicy water’ ever since I heard the same kid use that term. She was a visionary.
I call it spicy water because my mum was telling me about a brain fart she had when she was fizzing her water and thought to herself that she’s made it “too spicy”.
Good lord, how many people were crammed into that aisle?! Generally, when I'm grocery shopping, I'm too focused on what I need to get to listen to anyone else.
I should have known by "It reminded me that not only was this super cute, but in the workplace, fresh eyes often spot the obvious details the rest of us have overlooked." that this was a LinkedIn post
"once you see it you'll never unsee it" implies it was at some point hard to see. Like the chicken is some hidden symbol only meant for high IQ cereal eaters. It doesn't even look like it's part of the name it's pretty clearly just a graphic. Also why is this kid so fond of a cereal so boring it was literally invented to kill libido? They didn't even miss a beat when asking for it.
If this was bait consider me baited. I hate this story more than I hate most posts on this sub.
In Ireland they sell this brand and lots of other branded stuff. They have a seperate aisle sometimes just for branded things but the cereal is typically all together. However I find them far more expensive for branded items than other shops. Their own brands are great value but anything branded for some reason costs more than anywhere else. Same with Lidl.
They on occasion in the US carry Kellogg's products but it's not very common and from my experience it's not in the cereal aisle but instead in a branded aisle that they usually have with the aisle of useless shit.
So she think her kid was the first to notice the “chicken” on the box? SMH. What a moron.
Perhaps teach the kid that it’s a rooster and not a chicken. The rooster is there as roosters are known for waking people up at dawn. And breakfast is the first meal of the day. Many eat cereal for breakfast. It can’t get any more basic and obvious than that.
Im more interested about how the shoppers, staff, everyone decided right then and there that cornflakes will forever be known as chicken cornflakes….Maybe those who can see the Chicken are apart of a secret society. Did they all do a pact ritual that will destroy anyone who refuses to call it chicken cereal, cutting their hands with the ceremonial cereal aisle knife then engaging in a blood orgy? Or perhaps they put the blood dripping from their hands in the “goblet of supermarkets past”, mixed it with red wine from the secret cellar then all took a sip, including the kid since he was the newest member who discovered the cereal boxes true meaning! The possibilities are endless!
I say "strong like a box" all the time because a random like 4 year old kid said it to me at Target once. No on else heard, his mom was like 2 aisles over and on the phone. This was mildly realistic (aside from the mom being "baffled") until all the make-believe aisle inhabitants started laughing. That last tidbits definitely screams Linked In fantasy.
Definitely realistic but over embellished. I can believe the kid called it chicken corn flakes and shows his confused mom the box. I can also kind of believe that maybe 2 patrons nearby in the aisle shared a smirk and an offhand comment “I’m calling it that now!” Bc sure why not. I’m sure it wasn’t the big to-do this person is making it out to be with “everyone cracking up” and a packed aisle of people all finding it the most hilarious event in the world.
That is a chicken?!??! My perspective on cereal and life as a whole has been changed as I can never go back to unseeing the chicken. But seriously if you’re going to make up stuff to post on the internet can you at least make it something interesting?
Why call them cornflakes and put a chicken on the box?
Because chickens eat corn.
Never once questioned it as a child. Seriously doubt the rousing applause from fellow shoppers since most of them want to get in and out, and doubt any of them think your child is adorable or a genius.
“The whole aisle, shoppers, staff, everyone was laughing together”
How many fucking people were in the cereal aisle???? I’ve been shopping on D-Day ( day before Thanksgiving) and there was rarely more than 2 shoppers. I hate these stupid fake “ pick me” posts
Mine too, but only because I liked adding in a bunch of extra sugar myself so I could scoop it up from the bottom of the bowl and enjoy it half dissolved. Frosted Flakes were too sweet to serve that function.
Once you know why cornflakes were invented by Dr. Kellogg, you'll never look at cornflakes the same way. Learning that Mr. Post was a patient of Dr. Kellogg's and how Grape Nuts were invented changes the cereal war dynamic forever.
"The Food that Built America" is one of the most fascinating documentary series I have ever watched. They cover the creation of Post cereal, Kelloggs, Coca Cola (invented in order for its creator to kick a pain killer addiction), Birds Eye, Heinz (lobbied for the creation of the FDA as a strategy to put its competition out of business) and so many more. Really good series by A&E
Even I, who was not even in the same state as that Aldi, did laugh at this exchange. I will never more view cornflakes the same as long as I have breath to give.
When my niece was 3 she had a meltdown in the grocery store because she wanted "tiger food" and I had no idea what she was talking about. My son finally figured out it was Frosted Flakes. I do still refer to it as Tiger Food to this day, but I'm 95% sure everyone else in the store was just annoyed by the screaming kid.
Every time I see stories like this, I cringe a little. There was a time, in my adult life, that I embellished stories in this way. There was probably some truth to this story, or maybe it happened to someone else. I was really lonely for companionship and in a terribly dysfunctional and violent relationship. I would spin yarns like this so that my life would seem normal. Not too grandiose, but often peppered with exaggerations. I always think this is how these stories come about.
I've always and ever called Kellogs cornflakes 'chicken cornflakes'. The off-brand cheap versions taste like absolute shit (I spent time in rural Devon, where the best we could do is cheap cornflakes and powdered milk :( ) So when asked what ceral I wanted as a kid, I'd be offered chicken cornflakes or cheap cornflakes.
Then everyone took out a knife, slit it across their right hands, all mixed their blood together, and from that day forth, all vowed to called it chicken cornflakes.
The post is stupid, especially the “once you see it..” you are supposed to see it idiot. As for the kid calling it chicken and people laughing. Yeah that’s totally believable. My daughters always refer to this as the “chicken” cereal. They know there is no chicken in it, it’s just what they call it. “You want the bee or chicken…. Chicken chicken”. It’s cute but no big deal.
Aldi carries name brand stuff of some things. The one near me sells name brand cereal, Kraft macaroni and cheese, Barilla pasta... I'm sure there are other name brand things but I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
When I’m shopping my goal is to get the hell in and out as fast and efficiently as possible. I got no time for “cute” kids, funny interactions or clapping or cheering. And my father ate cornflakes every single morning of his life. I’ve seen the box already.
When she was around 3, my daughter came home from a trip to my ex’s parents home, and they apparently fed her Corn Pops (previously known as Sugar Pops in the 70s.) We went to the grocery store, and since I didn’t buy cereal with sugar in it, I bought some corn flakes. She opened the cabinet the next morning and announced that she would have chicken pops for breakfast.
Somebody tell the fiction poster to Google videos of Huckleberry Hound brought to you by Kelloggs Corn Flakes. Watch their animated mascot rooster crow.
Wait until she finds out that the chicken is a rooster, and he represents morning, because Kellogg’s Cornflakes are marketed as a breakfast food. It’s almost as if someone put some thought into the packaging of a product that is sold in tens of thousands of stores across the country.
"Once you see it, you'll never unsee it."
You're not supposed to unsee it. You are very much supposed to notice the chicken on the box. That's kind of why it takes up half the box and is in green.
Wait... so you mean that the brand mascot is supposed to be memorable and recognisable?
Jeez... marketing these days has got so advanced.
Well, now that you've seen it with fresh eyes...
Oh man, now I can't unsee it!!!
I have also seen it, I cannot unsee it. It’s in the corner of my eye wherever I go. It haunts my dreams, it watches me on the throne.
It says it is Kurinyi Bog, protector of the chickens. It says that one day, all of chicken-kind will rise up and overthrow their human masters. It says that I am to be the herald of our doom. HARKEN TO MY WORDS!!!1 THE GREAT GOD KURINYI DEMANDS BLOOD!
BLOOD FOR THE CHICKEN GOD!
I read this while cereal shopping, the whole aisle cracked up laughing at your words...we've all resolved to forever refer to cornflakes as Kurinyi blood sacrifice flakes!
Omg you too?
And then we'll really make the buggers' eyes water
Ah yes, this sort of eternal wisdom is why I often browse LinkedIn
Wait until you learn about Tony the Tiger
Lmao this post has me dying. I’ll now never unsee the tiger on boxes of Frosted Flakes
There’s a tiger on the box? Next thing I know you’ll say he has a name….
I think it's Todd
No, it's Toby
It's Terry... Terry the Tiger.
This is one of those Mandarin Effect things, isn't it? HER name is Tori. Everyone knows that
She never was a cornflake girl…
It never was a good solution 🤷♀️
They're food!
I think you mean Tiger Frosted Flakes.
What I wouldn’t give for a bowl of Toucan Fruit Loops.
I'm partial to Tiger Frosted Flakes myself.
Oh my god, until this story I literally never noticed the giant green chicken on the front of the box. /s
They think they discovered marketing
“Without missing a beat” is one of the phrases that irks me most with these fake stories
He probably missed many beats. Children are not well known for their rhythmic abilities
These stupid children are ruining my songs
Dwight Schrute, is that you?
I audibly chuckled.
And everyone clapped.
Shoppers, staff, EVERYONE...
That is one crowded cereal aisle!
Is it so wrong to have a quiet chuckle to yourself? Why does it always need to be EVERYONE in the vicinity?
To quote Zaphod Beeblebrox, "How do you know you're having fun if there's no one watching you have it?"
Yeah, I've got kids, and they never speak clearly or loudly enough for only me to hear them, much less the entire aisle.
My experience as well, but I have heard about 3 toddlers enunciating like broadcasters in my lifetime.
My 4yo brother yelling "HEY MOMMY NEED ANY PADS?" when he noticed there was a sale was the loudest he's ever spoken.
And, honestly... if the aisle was THAT crowded? I'd continue my shopping and circle back. I don't like people that much.
This made me have a quiet chuckle to myself. Too bad it's 3am and I'm in my apartment or else I'd have gone on the balcony and invited everyone in the vicinity to join in.
I think they were all laughing, but not over chicken cornflakes.. laughing at how cringe and awkward this person is (if it happened).
Even the inventory droid laughed
Those bags of off-brand cereal were clapping
Tally even went and got the automated floor cleaner to join in, since it was such a great joke.
The cereal were falling off the shelves!
The frozen chickens were slapping each other's thighs.
Right then and there we all agreed!!! Even had an insanely long meeting about it but in the end, the counsel decided to forever call them "chicken cornflakes".
Nah, didn't require a meeting. The store insists upon its customers submitting to a brain meld when entering to make things like this easier.
I was there. They didn’t mention what happened after. In the aisle, there was an old man laughing to himself facing the cereal. He turned around and pulled off his long white beard.
“I’m Mr. Kellogg , child. Whenever someone calls them Chicken Cornflakes, I appear”
Everyone gasped at once, then clapped!
“Whoever says it, gets injected with this” he says as he jabs the child in the neck with a syringe.
He only said the words, “Blood parasites” before vanishing into a box of Fruit Loops.
Expected the syringe to be castration or religious trauma since the whole point of Cornflakes (back then) was that they were the only sugar free cereal, because sugar (according to Kellogg) makes young boys touch themselves, which is a sin.
Sylvester Graham of cracker fame too
Is this based on the actual Mr. Kellog? Cause that guy was an actual demon.
Barack Obama fell out of the ceiling and clapped.
The Pope, who was on an international visit to this Aldi, also clapped and blessed this child personally.
Not to brag, but I live 3 states over and I sensed that something hillariously cute was about to happen so I made sure to get there and within earshot before it did. Even the cashier closed her lane to come watch. Kid was a little too soon, the Aldi CEO was trying to get there too, but missed it by about 90 seconds
And then everybody applauded.
With knowing smiles all around.
And then they all decided that from now on everyone is going to make their kids dumber by calling cornflakes "chicken cornflakes". It was unanimous.
Is this a post on LinkedIn???
Huge linkedinlunatics vibes lol
Right, the whole "but in the workplace, fresh eyes...blah blah blah" gives idiot middle management or HR vibes.
Here’s what cornflakes taught me about B2B sales
of course.
"today a kid wanted food, here's 6 things I learned about revaluating my perspective on business to business sales"
my god that place is overflowing with soulless fucks.
The most shameless one for me was that woman who drove her pregnant daughter to an abortion clinic and somehow managed to distill business insights from it. True LinkedIn-influencer mindset: no boundary too sacred, no moment too private.
“Thought leader”.
This seems like two stories: one that actually happened and another that isn't even a story. 1) A kid calls Kellogg's Chicken corn flakes. Seems totally plausible. 2) Shoppers, staff, everyone laughing together and you will never unsee it. Seems like it was added by someone else who found the story on the web or overheard it.
Yeah I believe the first part, but not the second.
So real. I once overheard a child call an eclair a chocolate hotdog but I didn’t feel the need to write a fake story about it. I do, however, call seltzer ‘spicy water’ ever since I heard the same kid use that term. She was a visionary.
lol my kids also call seltzer spicy water. Must be a thing lol
Or this person has been following your kids around…….
Or it's a huge coincidence in which siblings unknowingly meet on Reddit.
Everything is spicy for them. Nick Kroll has funny ass bit about it on one of his latest specials.
I call it spicy water because my mum was telling me about a brain fart she had when she was fizzing her water and thought to herself that she’s made it “too spicy”.
My kids call sparkling water spicy water too, and tonic is spicy lemonade.
Why is she acting like the chicken is like an optical illusion or something lol it’s a blatant damn chicken what do you mean “once you see it”?
When you get a chance, take a close look at your Apple laptop. You will see that there is a picture of an apple on it.
Once you see it, you’ll never unsee it.
OMG THATS WILD
She had always called them cock flakes.
Because so many people miss the giant chicken on the box, you see.
“You’ll never unsee it” what? Unsee the mascot?
I’m pretty sure this one was taken from Aesop’s Fables, where we learned the lesson, fresh eyes spot the details others miss.
Just using me fables
Fucking linkedin gimps are the worssssssst
Do you get an obscene amount of mullet?
The only obscene thing is that I get zero mullet
Good lord, how many people were crammed into that aisle?! Generally, when I'm grocery shopping, I'm too focused on what I need to get to listen to anyone else.
ngl, if I see that many people in a single aisle, I go to the next and return later.
I should have known by "It reminded me that not only was this super cute, but in the workplace, fresh eyes often spot the obvious details the rest of us have overlooked." that this was a LinkedIn post
"once you see it you'll never unsee it" implies it was at some point hard to see. Like the chicken is some hidden symbol only meant for high IQ cereal eaters. It doesn't even look like it's part of the name it's pretty clearly just a graphic. Also why is this kid so fond of a cereal so boring it was literally invented to kill libido? They didn't even miss a beat when asking for it.
If this was bait consider me baited. I hate this story more than I hate most posts on this sub.
Wow I never noticed the giant fucking Chicken before
Does Aldi even sell Kellogg's?
It does, sadly - that gotcha was unavailable.
Where? Their website just shows Millville-brand cereal
In Ireland they sell this brand and lots of other branded stuff. They have a seperate aisle sometimes just for branded things but the cereal is typically all together. However I find them far more expensive for branded items than other shops. Their own brands are great value but anything branded for some reason costs more than anywhere else. Same with Lidl.
The UK at least
They do sell it in the UK and by the wording of the post i immediately assumed this person is British
They on occasion in the US carry Kellogg's products but it's not very common and from my experience it's not in the cereal aisle but instead in a branded aisle that they usually have with the aisle of useless shit.
So she think her kid was the first to notice the “chicken” on the box? SMH. What a moron.
Perhaps teach the kid that it’s a rooster and not a chicken. The rooster is there as roosters are known for waking people up at dawn. And breakfast is the first meal of the day. Many eat cereal for breakfast. It can’t get any more basic and obvious than that.
I’m sure mom probably doesn’t even know that.

This reminded me that this thing that just happened was super cute!
The story was highly believable until the (figuratively speaking) "then everyone clapped" moment.
I don’t doubt that a child asked for chicken cornflakes but the rest of the situation sounds like a load of shite
They all agreed on it. Lmao
Im more interested about how the shoppers, staff, everyone decided right then and there that cornflakes will forever be known as chicken cornflakes….Maybe those who can see the Chicken are apart of a secret society. Did they all do a pact ritual that will destroy anyone who refuses to call it chicken cereal, cutting their hands with the ceremonial cereal aisle knife then engaging in a blood orgy? Or perhaps they put the blood dripping from their hands in the “goblet of supermarkets past”, mixed it with red wine from the secret cellar then all took a sip, including the kid since he was the newest member who discovered the cereal boxes true meaning! The possibilities are endless!
I'm impartial to the Bird Coco Puffs myself, although sometimes I'll reach for the Frog Smacks or the Rabbit Trix.
Stupid kid!!! That is clearly a rooster!
Chicken? That's clearly the king of sentient cucumbers and is screaming in pain because its head is on fire!
I say "strong like a box" all the time because a random like 4 year old kid said it to me at Target once. No on else heard, his mom was like 2 aisles over and on the phone. This was mildly realistic (aside from the mom being "baffled") until all the make-believe aisle inhabitants started laughing. That last tidbits definitely screams Linked In fantasy.

I'd like to think everyone did something like this...with the storge manager making the speech about the chicken cornflakes pact
That is a chicken?!??! My perspective on cereal and life as a whole has been changed as I can never go back to unseeing the chicken. But seriously if you’re going to make up stuff to post on the internet can you at least make it something interesting?
Ugh, was this LinkedIn, taking a cute story and then turning it in to some insipid "message?"
Yeah, because I’m paying attention to what your little brat is saying as you block half the fucking aisle with your cart
Stupid fucking kid.
A rooster's crow can be triggered by its internal circadian clock at dawn.
The majority of the world wakes up in the morning.
Morning is the universal time we eat breakfast to start our day.
Cereal is considered a breakfast food.
Make the connection you stupid little shit.
Oh, that is just quality prose! If I had a cap I'd doff it
If they had stopped after the second paragraph
This story is so wholesome they finally gave that rabbit a bowl of trix.
Why call them cornflakes and put a chicken on the box?
Because chickens eat corn.
Never once questioned it as a child. Seriously doubt the rousing applause from fellow shoppers since most of them want to get in and out, and doubt any of them think your child is adorable or a genius.
It’s a rooster and roosters wake people up in the morning. In the morning people eat cereal
Aldi does not sell Kellogg's branded corn flakes. They don't do big name brands.
Aldis has a few name brand products. Mostly their own stuff but there's some national brands mixed in.
It does in the UK and Ireland so sadly we can't call that out in this story. Must mean it's 100% true.
Cornelius Rooster approves this message.
Really dont have a problem unseeing it
“fresh eyes” makes me highly uncomfortable lmaoo
It's true, I was the gratuitously unnecessary "fresh eyes in the workplace" principle that gave meaning to the parable
“The whole aisle, shoppers, staff, everyone was laughing together” How many fucking people were in the cereal aisle???? I’ve been shopping on D-Day ( day before Thanksgiving) and there was rarely more than 2 shoppers. I hate these stupid fake “ pick me” posts
First of all, kids hate this cereal. That’s how I know it’s a lie
The most unbelievable part of the story is that a child wanted cornflakes.
Why were they my favorite as a child 🥲
Mine too, but only because I liked adding in a bunch of extra sugar myself so I could scoop it up from the bottom of the bowl and enjoy it half dissolved. Frosted Flakes were too sweet to serve that function.
Once you know why cornflakes were invented by Dr. Kellogg, you'll never look at cornflakes the same way. Learning that Mr. Post was a patient of Dr. Kellogg's and how Grape Nuts were invented changes the cereal war dynamic forever.

This happened, I was the chicken
Here's what this story told me about B2B sales.
I mean, it’s a rooster….yeah, a chicken, but….
Even I, who was not even in the same state as that Aldi, did laugh at this exchange. I will never more view cornflakes the same as long as I have breath to give.
And then everyone clapped afterwards
I really hope they ain’t that fkn stupid
How many people were there in the aisle?
When my niece was 3 she had a meltdown in the grocery store because she wanted "tiger food" and I had no idea what she was talking about. My son finally figured out it was Frosted Flakes. I do still refer to it as Tiger Food to this day, but I'm 95% sure everyone else in the store was just annoyed by the screaming kid.
I mean this is totally believable, but the only people who laughed are the mom and this lady.
Every time I see stories like this, I cringe a little. There was a time, in my adult life, that I embellished stories in this way. There was probably some truth to this story, or maybe it happened to someone else. I was really lonely for companionship and in a terribly dysfunctional and violent relationship. I would spin yarns like this so that my life would seem normal. Not too grandiose, but often peppered with exaggerations. I always think this is how these stories come about.
Stupid kid. That's Rooster Cornflakes.
I mean…that’s a rooster, but sure.
And that kid grew up to be
Besides, obvious chatbot written text.
I've always and ever called Kellogs cornflakes 'chicken cornflakes'. The off-brand cheap versions taste like absolute shit (I spent time in rural Devon, where the best we could do is cheap cornflakes and powdered milk :( ) So when asked what ceral I wanted as a kid, I'd be offered chicken cornflakes or cheap cornflakes.
The story itself happened. Probably a lot of times. But never the way it was retold. The "retelling" is so infuriating.
"Once you see it, you'll never unsee it".
Sure Jan.
My daughter called them Cock Flakes when she was 3.
Can confirm, I was at the aisle laughing
Then everyone took out a knife, slit it across their right hands, all mixed their blood together, and from that day forth, all vowed to called it chicken cornflakes.
Can see a child having that misconception, but the flowery wording and moral at the end tells me it's BS.
But the kid didn’t say that part, the mum did.
Pretty sure Aldi would have their knockoff brand rather than Kellogg’s. Just checked their website and they only have Froot Loops mentioned.
Hold on, you’re not supposed to notice the avian on the cornflake box?
Pretty sure Aldi don’t sell the name brand stuff just their version of corn flakes 😂
It’s not a chicken, it’s a cock. Let’s call them cock-flakes.
Can someone point out the chicken for me? I can't quite make it out.../s
I see a pelican on that box, but then again I do have bird blindness.
The post is stupid, especially the “once you see it..” you are supposed to see it idiot. As for the kid calling it chicken and people laughing. Yeah that’s totally believable. My daughters always refer to this as the “chicken” cereal. They know there is no chicken in it, it’s just what they call it. “You want the bee or chicken…. Chicken chicken”. It’s cute but no big deal.
I am pretty sure Honey Smacks come in frog flavor though
Marched, proudly, without missing a beat
This has ever single chatGPT tell possible
Aldi doesn't carry brand name cereals
A kid most likely would say “the chicken cereal” or “chicken flakes.” They wouldn’t say chicken corn flakes.
Not that this happened.
Aldi doesn’t sell Kellogg’s cereal.
Green Cock Corn Flakes
Aldis had name brand cereal?
Aldi carries name brand stuff of some things. The one near me sells name brand cereal, Kraft macaroni and cheese, Barilla pasta... I'm sure there are other name brand things but I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
But. But that’s a rooster.
Assuming with the last sentence it was a linked in post
linkedin stories are really gettting out of hand
When I’m shopping my goal is to get the hell in and out as fast and efficiently as possible. I got no time for “cute” kids, funny interactions or clapping or cheering. And my father ate cornflakes every single morning of his life. I’ve seen the box already.
You can’t bleedin’ miss it fs
…and that little kid, was Albert Einstein
When she was around 3, my daughter came home from a trip to my ex’s parents home, and they apparently fed her Corn Pops (previously known as Sugar Pops in the 70s.) We went to the grocery store, and since I didn’t buy cereal with sugar in it, I bought some corn flakes.

Did this make anyone else kinda feel like they want to try chicken flavored corn flakes? No? Just me?
A kid doing that has absolutely happened. The whole store laughing and "agreeing" to do the same is stupid LinkedIn style bullshit.
I mean, that is absolutely something a kid would cook up
That’s Cornelius Rooster!
Can confirm - I was one of the tiles on the aisle floor.
Literally everyone clapped
No kid ever chose cornflakes over literally any other brand!
OK but why is there a chicken on the box at all:?
(Also: is Chicken of the Sea chicken?)
Probably because chickens eat corn or it’s a rooster, a common symbol of sunrise… breakfast time.
Who in the hell writes these
‘…obvious details the rest of us have overlooked’ lol speak for yourself oop, the rest of us see the chicken 😂
