    Obviously this frat-boy shit is dumb, but if you had to figure out if someone was a real American or a spy, this would be an excellent way to do it.

    Like if someone said “I eat musli” or “I like grape nuts” you could go ahead and shoot the spy.

        Yeah and everyone who ever ate it was like “oh god, no” and immediately came out with a better cereal.

        Like corn flakes. Itty bitty tortilla chips make a better cereal than fucking grape nuts.
