Some of you might remember the $illy $avers Bite Beer Can Bank I posted a few months ago HERE!. Well, guess what? Yep, holy feedbags I found another one! This time the spoof is aimed at Wheaties cereal and features more hilarious Wacky Packages / Mad Magazine-esque style satire and art. Boy, if only I had enough money to actually fill up even one of these banks!

It's in excellent shape for being nearly 40 years old!
I had to laugh at that "contains up to 25% food" bit... back in 1981, it was a silly joke and it worked -- because the idea of anyone buying something that was only 25% food was disgusting and ludicrous! But it was a very similar-yet-NOT-jokey sentiment on certain foods TODAY that really turned me off of buying frozen meat. When you pick up a package of plain old frozen chicken breasts, and they LOOK like chicken breasts, but the label says things like, "Contains 15% meat protein"...... I mean, it's supposedly a chicken breast, so WTF is the other 85%!?!? You're really selling this and expecting people to eat it?? O_o
TBH, if given a choice between the two, I think I'd probably take the Wheakies! ;P
I'm pretty sure my choice of all time favorite food would be cereal no matter what-- though it definitely wouldn't be Wheaties! Unless they added chocolate or marshmallows or something...
Man, this one's great. I think I liked the horse food joke best, but I laughed at everything. I know this probably dates me, but I'm a little smitten by the fact that this cereal box spoof is shaped like a classic Nestle Quick container. Mixes instantly with milk!
I was never one for marshmallows in cereal, but I'm not ashamed to admit it: Right now there's a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in my pantry, and yesterday I watched 5 hours of Scooby Doo while I put up Christmas decorations.
Who says you ever have to grow up completely, lol!
>I was never one for marshmallows in cereal
Man, I could eat a whole bowl of nothing BUT marshmallows! I some Count Chokula last month and continue to do what I've done ever since I was a little kid: eat all the cat food pieces first and save the marshmallows for last.

Haha, I didn't even think about that but yeah, it's definitely more Quik tin shaped than cereal box. Still hoping to find a vampire themed Blood Flavored LAB bank... there's one on eBay but it's $35.00 --especially considering I've only been paying $10 for these when I find them, which seems more correctly priced for what it is.

If only you had somewhere to save money...
Save? Money? What’s that? Haha
"cat food pieces" -- this made me genuinely LOL, thank you!
The cop and the lady are the best part of this illustration, I love their expressions and wild, spider-like arms. Really expressive for such a small size!
