Give me a freaking BREAK. This restaurant charges $3.99 for a BOWL OF CEREAL.

What..the...crap...

The sad part about it is, that people will actually buy it.

Link to official website.

I can buy a whole box of cereal for that price. It's even worse than a glass of wine in a restaurant.

Yeah, and they don't even have any specialty cereals either (at least it doesn't sound like it). The only twist is you can add toppings. sick.png

Even if I can't express myself coherently over cereal bars, at least I'm learning another language. ROFLMAO! I ask you..it's almost as bad as cereal bars!

By the way, I just used an unacceptable word on the Travelpod name game. jack*$$! It wouldn't take the American version, but it did accept the English version, jackarse. Interesting.

I dunno...don't think it's Canadian thing...maybe just a a new trend thing? Either way, it's pretty stupid! Yet, if people buy it, that's even more ludicrous! For that price anyway!
