@muppetprincess: oh my GOD I hope so. I freaking loved that book. It was probably really not appropriate for me to be reading it when I was 11, either!
@thenwemadeout: At one time I think I'd read every single book that man wrote, but I can't for the life of me remember what the plot of this one was. Help me out anybody?
@AthertonMerriweather: Jesus, she makes my teeth itch. She's always crouching over a tiny little bowl of cereal, acting like it's a sumptuous feast and she's really really really really happy to eat a tiny serving of cereal instead of breakfast and lunch, and she's always slinking over and checking out some impossibly tiny dress she has hanging up.
I tried that Special K diet for a week and to this day I cannot touch the stuff.
@tscheese: I tried that too and was very upset to learn that I had to have a serving of practically half a cup of cereal. Of course I'll lose a pants size, I'm not eating anything.
@reita1: Also, the one where she wants to lick the bowl of icing and they are all "just eat some cereal" ....How does cereal compare to licking icing off your finger, really?
and slighly off topic, there a new Xtra gum commercial where the woman (who has a perfect slim figure by the way) wants a small bag of cheddar chips and then she decides gum would be better....
@AthertonMerriweather: In all fairness, the mascot fo Special K is just a slimmed-down waisteline and red clothing. They've forgone any gender-specific mascot so they can be an equal-opportunity cereal and change their target demographic as the mood strikes.
@tscheese: Imagine how scary Rice Kripsies would have been if there'd been a Pow! I mean, Snap, Crackle, Pop are all relatively benign, but Pow! at the end would not make me want to be anywhere near that cereal bowl.

"here, eat this low cal Special K with chocolate pieces to satisfy your sweet tooth!"
what they don't show are the people who pull all the little chocolate pieces out of the Special K and throw the useless flakes in the dog bowl.

Cereal mascots through the years are BIZARRE.
