Whole grain Pillsbury
The current edition of Cheerios boxes really emphasizes their alleged whole grain goodness. How many times each side of a standard box says “Whole Grain”:
Top - 3
Bottom - 1
Front - 6
Side - 1
Other side - 1
Back - 24
The total count comes to 36, including three “whole grain” buttons, two large “Whole Grain” logos, the ingredients list, a couple paragraphs on the back that extoll the benefits of “Whole Grain”, and a few disclaimers about how whole grain might not be the cure for everything.
The General Mills Gazette somehow reminds me of The Onion.
I think Cheerios might be allied with the vegetarian industrial complex.

Clever, but, how am I to know you're not a double agent?
