I don't think this is exclusively an AI thing, more of a weird cereal box/marketing thing

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People love bitching about AI in every thread

those types of ads have existed since before 2021

if you someone managed to make a real ad that doesnt look extremely weird before 2021, they deserve all of elon musks wealth

Leave poor Al alone, all he does is bring us joy with his music.

There's many reasons to hate AI but this isn't one of them.

No wonder AI is so confused

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Probably so they don't have to declare the milk in the calorie content...

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Nestle cereals also show the "calcium content: g" inside a cartoon splash of milk.

Because you're supplying that part yourself.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (5 children)

The whole nutrition facts section feels cherry picked too. Portion sizes are way too small. Every snack food ends up being 140 calories and like 27-31 grams, regardless of what it is. I wish everything was, like, per 10 grams or some other measurement from which I can extrapolate how big a piece of shit I am easily. I don't want 27 grams of cereal, I want 40 because I'm a child trapped in an adult's body, so now I gotta do the cross multiplying thing I learned when I was a kid, and I guess it's good to stay fresh, but I don't want to.

All that being said, calorie counting apps are fantastic for anyone interested in keeping tabs on their bad habits. Not necessarily fixing them, just giving some ammo for when they're depressed and shitting all over themselves.

It’s on my lap and I’m really into cereal.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Yes. Milk… that’s what’s in my lap.

[–] forbiddencherry@lemmy.today 10 points 2 months ago (13 children)

Do a lot of people actually add fruit to their cereal? I only started eating more fruit once I'd replaced cereal.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's how the pretend it's a nutritious breakfast.

[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

There are plenty of great cereals. Fiber one is basically 75% of your daily fiber in 200 calories, You can find plenty of examples. I feel like nobody on the Internet understands the availability of trash does not exclude quality from being in a product space.

Bananas in corn flakes are one of my favorites. Strawberries are great too. I've never tried blueberries in life cinnamon but honestly I bet it'd slap

I did for a few years when I ate cereal regularly. Now I add it to yogurt with homemade granola.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I’ll do fresh bananas or frozen berries, but it’s a waste of fresh berries and too much of a hassle for other fruit, imo.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I do occasionally. It makes bland cereal (grape-nuts and corn flakes) palatable without just dumping a bunch of sugar on it.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I add bananas to corn flakes. I used to add extra raisins to Raisin Bran.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Two scoops not enough for you? Are you perpetually unsatisfied??

Bowlboat sailing the milky sea (12", Album, Ltd, Num)

[–] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

You always put the cereal bowl in the milk bowl so the cereal doesn't get soggy.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

The waves on the south sea of milk were choppy all month as we voyaged from the buttered bread bay to the coffee or tea isles., My cereal boat was rocked from tip to trough. Several were lost at sea, and those who remained had to contest with the unending motion sickness and repairs.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

My kids manage that at least twice a week.

[–] MyRobotShitsBolts@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

We just don't see enough why the fuck picard memes these days.

Because you're supposed to pour milk first, of course. Smh

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

When you hold the cereal bowl in your lap, but the cereal is so good you launch the bowl in the air with your ejaculate.

It could be Dulux emulsion

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Hey. Don't hate until you have tried it. Maybe they're onto something?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 2 months ago

Because you're supposed to eat the bowl, obviously. The milk is just there for the bowl to float upon.
