On my way home from work today, I passed a car that was painted to look like a box of Kellogg's Corn Pops. I don't mean it was simply bright yellow and red. I mean it looked exactly like a box of Corn Pops, including the words "Corn Pops" and the cereal's nutritional information presented in a box by the hole where you put the gas in. I know ... awful syntax. Forgive me. And I don't know the official name of the automotive orifice that receives the gas. So forgive me for that, too.

In my travels, I've seen the Hershey's Kissmobile and a Red Bull car, too, but I don't think this was a promotional vehicle. Why now after Americans have enjoyed that sweetened puffed corn for more than 50 years? And it wasn't something cute and modern like a Kia Soul (don't you love those hamsters?). It was an old-style (early 80s) Caprice Classic with tinted windows and chrome rims.

Now, my sister ... she would probably drive a Cocoa Krispies car, but I can't imagine loving a cereal so much that I'd want to ride around town in a box of it.
