My Favorites: 1. In the Half-Life first person shooter, there are these yellow boxes of .357 ammo. If you use the telescopic sight on the crossbow to get a good close look, you’ll see a figure similar to the Planter’s Peanuts man waving a gun and the name “Gun Nut Brand Ammo”. 2. In the comic strip The Norm, his favorite breakfast cereal is “Frosty the Oat Man”, with a snowman made of oat circles on the box. Any others that make you chuckle? ---
