For [livejournal.com profile] slippyslope:

IT DOES EXIST:



What you're looking at right there is my very own Pirate Cereal. My dad was actually the one that found it at the store -- he was all, "OMG CAPTAIN JACK OMG WOW PIRATES!" and I was cracking up because when you see him it's so obvious where I get my fannish tendencies from.

Full Pirate Cereal Report (because I was extraordinarily bored):

Tastes like you'd think it would -- like Lucky Charms with a dash of Cocoa Puffs. That's totally cool with me because those are my second and third favorite cereals. The marshmallow shapes are weird -- I've been able to discern a cutlass; what is either a piece of gold or a compass depending on which way I tilt my head; what is either a hat, a snake that swallowed an elephant, or very possibly a VW Beetle; a purple rectangle with a white X in it that I thiiiiink is supposed to be a pirate flag, and then a totally random white and purple blob.

Here is a picture of the marshmallows:



If anyone has ANY idea what any of these shapes might be, I'd really like to know since I'll be eating them for breakfast the next couple of weeks and it'll drive me crazy every day.

The side panel of the box (titled "Put Ye Best Foot Forward") is the best part of the whole thing.

Money quote: "Walking is great exercise requiring no special pirate skills."

IT SAYS "PIRATE SKILLZ" ON MY CEREAL BOX AHAHHAA LOL XD

Yeah, so, I am lame. But that's okay, because I'm having lots of fun.

Also, I got a paid account so now I have more icons. Yay!

sweet as!

it is like 2 am, so this is gonna be short and not as fangirl as it would be if i were awake.

plain purple is a hat i think
purple with x is a skull and cross bones flag i expect
blue and yellow is a cutlass i would guess
purple and white a ship maybe?
so that leaves the yellow as a treasure chest if you squint a lot

purple and white a ship maybe?

That would NEVER have occurred to me, but I can sort of see it now.

see now, i was about to say i had no idea about the last two, and then i looked at the box and jack with his hand onthe wheel and said, that must be a ship! i really have no clue about the yellow blob.

I'm pretty sure the yellow blob is either a gold coin or the ship's steering wheel. It's a bit more obvious that it's one of the two when it's floating in your breakfast bowl, hah.

OMG. I think it goes without saying that I am *DED* of jellus. When, oh when, will I find my own true love box of sugary, piratey goodness?

You can live vicariously through this post though until you get your own!

Now, if I could just find some Ninja Cereal, the world (or at least the breakfasty part of the world) would be perfect.

if I could just find some Ninja Cereal

But wouldn't that be the whole point of Ninja Cereal? To remain unfound...? :D

I think the point of ninja cereal might actually be to choke you to death. Or something. Maybe fall out of the cupboard onto your head when you're trying to get it out, hah.

They should make cereals for all fandoms! "Killing is great exercise requiring no wizarding skills" complete with scar-shaped thingies and green blobs that nobody would dare eat, just in case. I'm not about to eat any coloured spongy thing anyway, but I'd spend an extra hour in the supermarket seekritly slipping ficlets and drabbles in between the cereal boxes and lurking around to see if anyone finds them. *thinks* Yeah, I would.

That would be too funny, methinks.
