#9: Cereal Box Digest
Everything is different now, even cereal boxes. Back in the day, there was no such thing as a smartphone or tablet to distract us and occupy our attention. That meant there was way more time to sit with your own thoughts while eating, waiting for the bus, and just generally living life.
However, the kitchen table often had at least one form of entertainment during breakfast. Enter: the back of the cereal box. From the riveting nutritional info label to fun mazes and games, cereal boxes were prime real estate for kids’ breakfasts back in the day. The few minutes when Gen X kids were staring blankly at the back of a cereal box were probably the only moments of peace and quiet their parents got in the morning.
