The Cereal Conspiracy !?!

Yesterday while having my first bowl of cereal in a year I started to read the box. We all do it, it's one of those things that we saw our parents doing so it is ingrained in us to read the box while eating. I then notice that one VERY important thing has changed from when I was younger. NO PRIZE, I mean WTF, I have to go on the net and mail all of these box tops off to get a stupid Tony the Tiger wrist band !?! Where is the fun in that!?! I want my prize NOW!?! Then it comes to me, THE CEREAL CONSPIRACY, pay close attention because once they realize that I am on to them and spreading the word they may make me remove this blog.(Side note: I figure while I am talking about conspiracy theories I have to refer to "the man" and they.) Okay, so here it is in the past cereal companies would put a toy in every box, that only cost like 2 dollars for a big box by the way, and these cheap toys maybe cost them maybe $.04 each. Then one company says I can get these bigger toys for $.02, but they don't fit in the box. Some genius said the customers can send postage and a box top and we will mail the prize to them at no cost to us. So someone at another company says, we will give ours away for free IF you send in three box tops, as the take the price of the box up to $4.50. Now by the time I have collected my third box top I cant find the first one and I am out of $13.50, and I still don't have my prize!?! Our kids are being cheated!?! FREE PRIZES FOR EVERYONE!?!
