Cinnamon Bone Crunch

A couple hours ago, you could have asked me what my favorite cereal in the whole world was and I would have replied, 'Cinnamon Toast Crunch!', without hesitation. Now, I don't know if I'll ever be able to stomach it again.

Here's the deal. I was a little over halfway done with my morning bowl, not really paying all that much attention, just watching TV, the normal routine, when I noticed a big chunk of something in my bowl that wasn't supposed to be there. At first, I thought it was a piece of wood, but upon further examination, it appeared to be a chunk of bone, but from what, I don't know. All I know is that it was not whole grain, cinnamon, or sugar, all the good things that make up Cinnamon Toast Crunch. At this point, I'm feeling sick to my stomach and I proceeded to wash my mouth out with half a bottle of Listerine.

So, I regain my composure and decide to call the number on the box to report this incident. General Mills, 1-800-328-1144 option 4, ring, ring, ring...I tell the customer service lady exactly what happened and that I found something that appears to be bone in my Toast Crunch. She must have thought I was a moron because she said that it could not possibly be bone, because bone is not an ingredient of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm like, no kidding? Then she tells me that it is probably just a lump of cinnamon and sugar that is all clumped together, so I say, no it's more like bone. So, she says, 'okay, we'll send you a free coupon and an envelope to mail the chunk back to them so they can see for themselves.'

Gee thanks, a coupon, whoopidy doo! Do you really think I'm going to be eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch anytime soon?
