I guess it is a good thing this is Off-topic Friday.

High Tech Cereal
=20
Have you peeked inside a cereal box lately? You just might find a CD-ROM.
Earlier this year, General Mills Canada hooked up with Hasbro Interactive
to offer free game CD-ROMs in selected boxes of Cheerios, Honey Nut Chex,
and other tasty treats. The CNET Top 10 team encourages this commingling
of breakfast food and technology; in fact, we have suggestions for other
tech tie-ins that could boost cereal sales among CNET readers. Such as
the following:=20
10 Alpha-Bits
No more letters, just 0s and 1s.
9 Special K
Rename it "Special 56K," then hope that no one notices how long it takes
to digest, especially if lots of other people are eating breakfast at the
same time.
8 Apple Jacks
Repackage this flagging confection in clear, square boxes--though it
probably still won't sell.
7 Life
Ships with The Sims. This time, you get to decide whether Mikey likes it.
6 Cocoa Puffs
Replace Sonny the spokesbird with Microsoft's Steve Ballmer. Watch him go
"cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs."
5 M=FCeslix
The "open source cereal." Of course, if you find bugs in it, there's no
one to complain to.
4 All-Bran
Each box comes with a copy of Norton CleanSweep "to really clean out your
system."
3 Cookie Crisp
Feed your kids this cereal in the morning, and DoubleClick will be able
to track their movements all day long.
2 Super Sugar Crisp
Includes an AOL disc. The sugar coating makes you forget that it's not
the real Internet.
1 Lucky Charms
The morning snack for laid-off dot-commers. Ingredients: Yellow moons,
orange stars, green clovers, purple horseshoes, pink slips.
