Gotta Have My Pops...

So I'm doing the weekly shopping when it occurs to me that I'm out of cereal. I'm certainly a a man who love his cereal, so I go to pick something. While I'm generally partial to "Honey Bunches of Oats mit Almonds", variety is the spice of life, so I browse about for something new.

I eventually settled on an industrial sized (what happened to little boxes) of "Corn Pops." Corn pops had always been a favorite of mine in my youth, and I figured a nostalgic visit to the ill habits of old might be nice.

I was happy with my purchase right up until the first bowl. While the eating experience is just as satisfying as ever, I was puzzled by the packaging.

Why is it that of all the cereals out there, only "Corn Pops" comes in that insane radiation-proof silver inner wrapper. To the best of my knowledge I have never encountered another breakfast cereal that breaks tradition form the standard translucent plastic bag.

I am at a loss as to what strange secrets the silver bag-thing holds, but I can only hope it's power will be used for good and not evil. Thus far, it has at least kept my remaining pops safe from the ravages of time, so I take that as a positive sign of it's intentions.

**Special thanx to my neighbors, the Parkers for providing the above picture of teh clear bag. Their daughter Hannah is modeling the sack.
