Don't forget the advertisements that touted Sugary Cereal X as a "part of this complete breakfast"--which was not something that anyone would actually add cereal to if they already had one. All the ads showed the bowl of cereal next to a 12oz glass of milk, an 8oz glass of orange juice, buttered toast, a colorful piece of fruit, maybe some jelly on the toast, and the cereal box. All the kids who actually ate it just got the cereal with some milk poured over it. It was dumped directly down the gullet with a funnel, because you only had 8 minutes left to get to the school bus stop, which was a 5 minute walk from your front door.
