Reading the backs of cerial boxes has always been my favorite pastime. Yesterday, while stuffing my face with Frosted Mini-Wheats, I discovered what is probably the best back to a cerial box ever! (What makes a good cerial box back? Trivia. Riddles. Eliptical Illusions. Anything that makes your brain work. One of my favorite cerial box backs when I was little was the one on the Apple Jacks with all these mind games-- the classic "do you see a wine glass or two faces?" sort of stuff.) Well, the Frosted Mini-Wheats didn't have any Eliptical Illusions, but it did have fun vocabulary tidbits. They reminded me of my 'Utterances.' Here're the questions...
- To savor something is to a) dislike it b) add salt to it c) relish it d) try it once
- How would you feel about something salubrious? a) confused, it's confusing b) worried, it's harmful c) amused, it's funny d) good, it's good for you.
- Which of the following would you whet? a) a field of grain b) a calf c) an appitite d) everyone, with a big water pistol
The answers were
- c
- d
- c
and, yes, I did get them all right. =)
