Thanks for dropping the “Freedom Rock” reference Rusty!

Good times.

A more elegant solution would be a non-electronic bowl shaped so as to function as an acoustic amplifier. I’m sure it could be done with some careful design.

I def recommend watching this short documentary on Dominic and his work. It’s really lovely:

This would work for a bowl of baked beans (with a small adjustment of the microphone location).

I may not know art, but I know my cereal doesn’t need a megaphone.

The guy has a fun mind, though. I’m impressed.

I want a “where are they now?” for the guys in that commercial

“Perry died of cancer in 1995. Beard is in Japan and performing with cover band Flashback and has seen more than one Hippie #1 costume while overseas. In 2013, New Hampshire band Rippin’ E Brakes asked Beard to reprise the role to help promote a Kickstarter campaign for their debut album. Turn it on, man.”

@anon48584343’s real-life version aside, the actual updated commercial would feature a couple of smug, wealthy California Boomers in designer chinos and shirts and $200 haircuts, sitting by the pool of a Topanga Canyon mansion and still droning on about how their generation saved the world in the '60s, while Malibu burns in the background.

The capper is when some teenagers walk by with rap music blaring from a Bluetooth speaker and these two yell “Turn it down, man! And get off our lawn before we call the cops!”

Ahem…I think you mean organic, fair-trade, Whole Foods brand Rice Crispies ($12/box). Authenticity costs, ma-a-a-an.

Yes, but is it dishwasher safe?

This may be the coolest thing ever. :slight_smile:

I disagree. Your cereal most certainly needs a megaphone.

Has my cereal been talking to you behind my back? Sneaky brekkie.
