Maes Posted May 24, 2010 I think it's the ones from LIDL. I mean, just look at the urbandictionary definition of "Choco Moons" and the associated piC: That "Choco Moon" reminds me the expression from the "It's alll-right" guy in some infamous eroguro manga...and the astronaut mice look like stoned ravers. Golden Puffs is pretty uhm...cute: But the most psychedelic of everything must be LIDL's "Fruit Rings": trippy looking colored cereal rings, and a box with some green dancing elephants.

fraggle Posted May 24, 2010 They're ... cereal boxes. I don't see how these are any more psychedelic than other cereal boxes that I've seen that have cartoon characters on. 0 Share this post Link to post
RestlessRodent Posted May 24, 2010 Sounds like Crown Field is just a store brand which like all other store brands rebrands the product. Or they might not be, but their shit is the same as General Mills. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted May 24, 2010 Yeah, Crown Field is LIDL's umbrella brand for all of their cereal lines -they change them from time to time, it used to be "Little Man" before. They also changed their energy drink's brand three times (a Red Bull knockoff): at first it was "Sitting Bull" (didn't sound too energetic), then just "Energy Drink" (but had a kickass tiger or an alien) and now it's just "Mixxed Up". Same drink all along though :-p 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted May 24, 2010 Sorry, my bad for assuming everyone here is a dirty Europinko/commie :-p But yeah, it's pretty much a kind of european Walmart specialized in groceries and basic goods -for the lack of a better analogy, I don't know if there is a direct analogue to the "hard discount" markets that filled Europe in the last 20 years. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted May 24, 2010 Cereals were a fun little part of childhood... 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted May 24, 2010 The cereals themselves are OK, at least the ones I tried of the above (all except Golden Puffs, they look too much like chicken corn). Not Kellog's quality, but OK. Sadly(?) the elephant one isn't really psychedelic....at most it puts a chuckle on your face when you see the box :-D 0 Share this post Link to post

Csonicgo Posted May 25, 2010 OK I'm game! Grocery stores in the Southeast have their own brands of cereals. I will take pictures of them and show you guys. some are just.. absolutely atrocious, with stupid names like "frut rangs" and "puffy coc's". 0 Share this post Link to post

Well, similar but not the exact same: they are competitors, and there are people who swear by either one terms of quality (e.g. LIDL is King, ALDI is shit or viceversa...) 0 Share this post Link to post
RestlessRodent Posted May 25, 2010 Alot of stores here in Jersey have store brands named after their own store, except for A&P and Foodtown afaik. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nuxius Posted May 27, 2010 (I think he has had a few too many cocoa crunchies) And shifting the subject slightly over to really bad cereal box art: Why are the hands done in a completely different style from everything else? Why does his face look like it's been traced (badly) by a first grader? Who knows... Also, be aware, this is his preferred mode of transportation... keep your kids safely indoors, away from this creep! 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted May 27, 2010 HOly shit...why are cereal box covers always so -pardon the pun- corny? 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted May 27, 2010 Yum, Publix brand. I've seen those Majic Stars before, and then I was twitching on the floor.... So, bright.... Lovin' that tiger by the way, and his van is almost exactly like mine, except mine says free ice cream. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted May 27, 2010 Is it just me, or did anyone else think of the Cheetahmen when he saw that fucked-up tiger stoner? :-S 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted May 27, 2010 That Forrelli tiger guy looks too calm, calm enough as if he smoked a few joints before posing for the cereal art. 0 Share this post Link to post
