What’s for Breakfast?

Have you seen the cereal commercial that starts with a wrinkled dog jumping on its owner’s bed trying desperately to wake him only to be shoved back to the floor? No? Well, the dog trots downstairs; carries back a tray with cereal and all the extras…even a fresh flower in a vase; the owner wakes up to eat a fabulous breakfast and prepares for a hike, and you think that’s what the dog wanted all along. The commercial ends with the dog’s owner taking that walk and the dog covered up in bed snoring. Cute commercial – but what kind of cereal was it? I don’t remember.

If I went to the store right now after having watched this commercial not 5 minutes ago, I wouldn’t have a clue what to buy. I know it was brown and healthy, so it wasn’t Apple Jacks or Fruity Pebbles. The dog was brown too – and not as fat as my Libby, so it was probably healthier as well…even without that hike outdoors. So I noticed details like the flower in the vase on the tray, and what the dog and cereal looked like, and even that it was to help you start your day healthy and active – but I didn’t catch the brand?

Libby didn’t catch it either, but it probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway…
