One of the reasons that cereal has remained popular for more than
a hundred years is that the stuff is so wonderfully adaptable. No
matter what the current dietary fashion happens to be, a cereal can
be devised to fit it. Changing dietary fasion gave rise to the
cereal vitamin boom of the 1930s, the granola boom of the early
1970s, and the bran cereal boom of the 1980s. Even the very
creation of breakfast cereal reflected shifts in dietary fashion,
as men of medicine and commerce sought a palatable substitute for
the dyspepsia creating breakfasts of gravy and meat that were
popular in the late 1800s.
The adaptability of cereal has yet to be fully explored. Behold
the Ootfray-Oopslay Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Top Sneaker. This is
a one of a kind cereal statement. To make your own pair, just buy
a pair of sneakers, a tube of Aleene's Tacky Glue, a box of Fruit
Loops and start sticking. (Warning: Do not use Elmer's glue. It is
too moist and tends to shrink the Fruit Loops into unrecognizable
cereal shrivels.) Cereal vests, cereal ties, and cereal string
ties have also been created successfully.
Remember that cereal clothing will never go out of fashion as long
as the ants and the roaches don't get to it!!
