I remember noticing that as a kid. Cereal commercials would end with “Part of this complete breakfast!” over an image of a bowl of the advertised cereal in milk, a glass of orange juice, a glass of milk, and two slices of buttered toast. What’s the toast for? Is there not enough grain in the cereal? If I’ve got the toast and a glass of milk and presumably a multivitamin, what’s the Cap’n Crunch bringing to the table? Aside from a shredded hard palate.
(That one even has a bowl of fruit, in case you’re not getting enough sugar from the OJ.)
