Dear Kellogg’s,<\/p>\n
I would like to inquire why, with your ability to form corn, wheat, and oats into seemingly impossible shapes and infuse them with artificial sweeters and preservatives (which is very tasty BTW) , you can’t package your cereal with an inner liner that won’t lose every ounce of its structural integrity upon its first opening. Is it made of tissue paper? Old newsprint from the 50’s? Everytime I crack open a newly purchased box of Frosted Flakes, or Honey Smacks, a gapping hole in the liner is created through which rogue cereal morsels escape to the bowels of the box, never to be seen or heard from (if it’s a Rice Crispy) again. Post doesn’t have this problem! They have inner liners that are made of a thin plastic where each corner can be easily opened forming a little “spout” where all their cereal goodness can be directed into my bowl. Now granted, their liners might not be as “earth friendly” as yours, but that’s a small price to pay for my ability to easily pour sugar saturated processed grains into my bowl at 11:30 at night so that I can gain another 5lbs. Come on Kellogg’s! Get your act together! Cereal isn’t grown on trees (is it?)! There’s no need to waste good cereal by letting it escape to the bottom of the box like a bunch of senior citizens moving to Florida to wait out their lives and expire. (Ok, so my analogy broke down.) Anyway, the point is – strong plastic inner bag = good. Scott’s toilet tissue inner bag = bad.<\/p>\n
