Check out this vintage Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal box from the Michigan Historical Museum! Isn’t it nice? I wish Kellogg’s Rice Krispies still looked this way.

I just want to say that I really love this retro Kix cereal box from General Mills. It’s not quite the exact original design (I think), but that’s why I like it. It feels both fresh and old at the same time.

Hank Willis Thomas and Ryan Alexiev created this sugar-cereal portrait of Barack Obama to comment on the iconization and consumerization of the President of the United States. There’s been a lot of products being made lately to commemorate the election of the nation’s first black President, and while some seem worthy to be made and sold, there’s a whole mess of crap out there that bears the face of Barack Obama.

The portrait, entitled “Breakfast of Champions“, is available for $30 in a limited edition print of 1000.

Thanks for this, Joyce!

Kellogg’s is testing new space-saving cereal box

In an effort to please customer demands for a better space-saving cereal box, Kellogg’s is testing a shorter and fatter cereal box that it claims will transform the cereal aisle at your local grocery store. The new cereal box is the biggest change to come to Kellogg’s food packaging since the 1950’s. The redesign lends itself to Kellogg’s commitment to be a “greener” company as the new boxes use 8% less material.

For the next 6 months, Kellogg’s will be testing customer response to these new boxes and will adjust their distribution accordingly based on customer approval and feedback. If all goes well, expect to see these fancy new packages in your cereal aisle in the future.
