    1kg Kellogg’s cornflakes = €4.79

    1.5kg Aldi porridge oats = €1.19

    If I’m eating a cereal product for dinner I’ll go with the more filling and versatile oats

      Careful where the oats come from. Remember there was an article about oats in canada being grown with chemicals that were shown to decrease fertility. The U.S banned the product but not crops purchased elsewhere using the product.

      That’s where we come in. We can start with harsh words, but there’s a damn good reason so many are making allegories to the French Revolution. Times like this are to put the wealthy on notice, that they too may fear finding themselves staring up from the bottom of baskets to a crowd cheering the waterfalls of blood coming from their neck stumps.

    Like anybody reduced to eating cereal for dinner is buying fucking Kellogg’s when they can get the Aldi version for like a third of the price.

      Thats Kelloggs too but without the name. You cant get rid of greedy Corporations because they are their own competitors after buying them.

        I don’t think that’s actually true for Kellogg’s, who made a big deal of advertising the fact that they don’t make cereal for other brands.

        The Aldi ones are supposedly made by Malt-O-Meal.

    Remember, cereal was first proposed as a cure for masturbation, so rub one out for freedom.

    As a child i always thought cornflakes in any shape are a good breakfast. As an adult i’m just scratching my head, wondering why we got diabetes for breakfast. If i’d be too poor to eat properly, cornflakes would ve the very first thing that has to go. But i don’t eat them in the first place, so fuck you kellogs boy.

      The original corn flakes has actually fewer calories than the special K counterpart. Talk about deceiving. Fuck them.

    I’m a Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) fan, and unfortunately the team is owned by Dan Gilbert who also owns Rocket Mortgage. During every game, they run this Rocket Mortgage commercial that shows this schlub of a man bringing home three bags of groceries while the voiceover says how it used to be six bags of groceries for the same price. Then his house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has equity in the house and thus can take out a second mortgage and use the money to pay for … groceries. Just a horrifying, dystopic nightmare with catchy music and an animated smiley house.

    is this what late stage capitalism looks like, when the cause of the problem tries to disguise itself as the genius solution?
