So I had a box of Cheerios and scooped out a handful and found something weird, possibly a twig with a bud on the end. Experimenting, I snapped the “twig” in two, then took a closer look at it. Nope, not a twig, but a glazed and cooked shard of bone. So, General Mills, be thankful that it wasn’t swallowed by someone and I’m too lazy to bother trying for a lawsuit–you dodged a bullet.
Someone probably lost a finger in the processing line. Good thing all the flesh rotted away.
I always thought that story about the Cheerios Kid retiring to a farm out in the country was a little suspicious.
A clue from rough footage of the documentary “Searching for Sizzle”:
I bet it was a rat bone.
OP, shoot them an email. You might get a bunch of free coupons.
Of, course that is disgusting and I’ll never eat Cheerios again.
Beck why you’d go and say that? Now I don’t wanna eat anymore Cheerios either. 
I don’t know what y’all are bitchin’ about-it’s right there in the Nutrition Facts on the side of the box:
Calcium………10%
Ewwwww!
He came this close to actually eating it.
What a marrow escape.
Bone chillingly close.
A few months back we bought some Bubble-O Bill’s for the kids, and one was missing his bubble-gum NOSE. So my daughter contacted the company and they sent her a cheque, for $5.
Now as the OPs issue was of something of greater import, Ima gonna go out on a limb and suggest he do the same. You never know what compensation you might receive, golly, a phone call won’t cost you an arm and a leg now will it?
Now I want an ice cream treat. The bullet hole in the hat seems appropiate to my mood.
If they took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy would it?
CMC fnord!
But was there a jagged metal O?
I just got back from complaining to McConnell’s about one of their limited edition flavors I just ordered. It was Earl Grey Tea and Cookies. The ice cream was really delicious, but the shortbread-like cookie pieces were really salty. Pulled the flavor profile out of whack. I’ll wait to see what kind of reply I get back.
While anyone can file a lawsuit, you need to have damages to be awarded anything. Are you out more than the $3-4 for a box of cereal? I don’t think the bullet they dodged is particularly large nor scary.
(That being said, the piece of bone is gross).
So you are going to go with store brand o shaped cereal from now on? Technically independent probabilities and all, and the store brand probably came from the same factory as the name brand…
Rats? Soylent green?
Soylent Green is made of people!
Its nice to know that cereal boxes have gone back to leaving prizes inside for the kiddies. I miss those.
