What a fortunate coincidence that Big Mathilda, who wants big cereal, somehow stumbled upon the very secretive Honeycomb hideout, which also happens to have a basketball hoop in addition to (of course) having the namesake big cereal.
Things could not possibly have worked out more perfectly.
edit: I’ve thought about this some more and come to a conclusion (or realization). The Honeycomb hideout has a long history of visitors, all of whom want big cereal. This can’t be coincidence. But nobody shows up for any other reason, so it must be pretty well hidden from normies.
I think the voice that opens each commercial is a siren’s call to those looking for big cereal: “Come to the Honeycomb hideout” it sings, and anyone so inclined hears the call, and is drawn to the hideout. Those who don’t want big cereal simply can’t hear the call.

Holy shit. That Joe 90 cereal box is as dark and disturbing as the child-who-assassinates-people-with-foreign-accents plots of Joe 90 episodes.

I only just discovered there is an Oreo cereal: Oreo O’s. I can see what he means about the lack of creativity…
I don’t even eat cereal but would totally buy that mystery box.
Also, the fact that John Oliver moved here and voluntarily became a citizen gives me great hope for our country. He sees something that I can’t see, clearly.

I would totally make a deal with a friend if they liked stuff like peanut butter or almond flavors. We buy the boxes, I get the fruity flavors, they can have the peanut butter, chocolate, etc. flavors.

With climate change/destruction and continued population growth, it is what we’ll all be eating in 50 years - and we’ll be thankful for it.

John Oliver is lucky enough, it seems, not to live in 
, where insulin is cheaper apparently in order to allow for consumer experimentation with stuff like this…
Preceded by the much derided “timbits” cereal 
Eat your heart out, young Calvin… We see your “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs” and raise you “Compressed Chocolate Donut Holes”…
