Total

Have you ever wondered what pure %100 whole wheat looks and tastes like? Me too but I presume Total is it.

It's also %100 Calcium and %100 Nutrition. Through analogies we can conclude that wheat, nutrition, and calcium are all equal to each other but maybe my math is a little off. Or maybe General Mills's math is the fishy one.

Regardless, after diligent research I've discovered that the creators of Total cereal, no other than Mr. Charles Total and his 5 children, set out one fateful day to create the most bland cereal possible.

They would have succeeded too if Rebeca Cheerios, Snap, Crackle, and Pop never came along with their own bland cereals.

Seriously though, Total is like the celery of cereals. It's so healthy you're likely to be burning up more calories (and whatever else were not suppose to be eating in this weightophobic society) than you pick up from eating it.

Further proof of Total's lack of pizazz can be seen right on the box art. General Mills has such little faith in the stand alone taste of Total that they chose to depict it with berries for added flavor. Either that or they designed total as a sort of accompaniment cereal to fruits which still reinforces the notion of blandness. Whatever. I can imagine that this actually tastes pretty good when you're feeling bloated...or constipated.

No prize or fun puzzles on this box btw, just boring adults doing unexciting adult things, i.e. trying to eat their way to good health.

Kudos.
