U.S. — A recent report finds that the backs of cereal boxes have really gone downhill over the years, which is lame.
"Our findings show the quality of puzzles, riddles, line mazes, and random facts has rapidly declined over the past 15 or so years," Study Lead Ralph Dugary told reporters at a press conference. "We used to see creativity and artwork and cartoon characters and word searches and delightful, colorful fun, but now…not so much."
"It sucks."
The report studied reactions from millions of Americans and asked them to rank the backs of current cereal boxes against old boxes from the 1990s and early 2000s. Overwhelmingly, respondents say things just aren't what they used to be.
"I blame smartphones," one respondent said. "Kids used to sit and eat breakfast while solving a fun riddle or learning random facts about wheat. Now it seems every box just has the origin story of the company on it. Not very imaginative."
At publishing time, another report revealed the quality of Hot Wheels commercials has really tanked since their zenith in 1996.
