to wish that cereal manufacturers would put the name of the cereal on the side of the box?

I mean, how many people display their cereal boxes front forwards like in supermarkets?

I am going to sit back and expect no replies, as I know you probably all have natty tupperware containers for your cereals Wink

I agree with you - YANBU, it's just common sense.

You could get productive and do some labels?

That wouldn't be anal would it?? Grin

Ours doesn't last long enough to make it into a tub.

Loshad · 04/03/2011 22:11

is it really so hard to have to pull out a couple of boxes at home to get the one you want?
ours are all in tupperware to keep the mice outHmm

AgentZigzag · 04/03/2011 22:13

I did write on the side of two spray bottles, but that was only because I kept cleaning the sink with the exactly the same looking clothes stain remover.

That's not anal, is it?

Is it?

NagoonthenIllbeColumbia · 04/03/2011 22:15

no zigzag, unless you printed them out on a dymo [sp?]

NagoonthenIllbeColumbia · 04/03/2011 22:16

op how much cereal do you have?

also all my cereal does Hmm

sausagerolemodel · 04/03/2011 22:17

Its a brilliant idea.

Maybe they just haven't thought about it.

Can you not just tell from the colours what cereal is what? I can't say it's a problem I've ever encountered

bibbitybobbityhat · 04/03/2011 22:20

Yanbu. Have often thought similar Blush.

Might have nagoo

NagoonthenIllbeColumbia · 04/03/2011 22:26

Kellogs special K, Says it right there. Tesco Rice snaps. Whoomp. There it is.

What am I missing?

What exciting cereals have you people been sampling?

chickbean · 04/03/2011 22:30

I have about 5 different kinds (some branded, some supermarket equivalent) and they either don't have it on the side, or it is really small (could put my glasses on, I suppose Grin).

I was thinking of telling them all sausagerolemodel, so perhaps I will (none of mine are currently Kelloggs, so I'll have to check if they are offenders, next time I'm at the supermarket, before I include them in my campaign).

I could label them myself, I suppose - just think it's a bit strange that they don't.

Okay, off I go to e-mail Morrisons, Sainsbury's, etc....

lol, just got up and went to look in the cereal cupboard wtf!

I have the same problem as op, except on one box which is branded and does tell you on the side.

Own brand cereals I have do not.

Must say I don't have the problem as all cereals are put on the table and DC have a DIY breakfast anyway

freshmint · 04/03/2011 22:31

bloody brilliant suggestion

never thought about it before but you are absolutely right. Why don't they? would be MUCH more useful than on the front...
