Burberry Flakes, The Glam Foodie
Cereal Couture, created by The Glam Foodie, imagines what it might look like if high fashion met breakfast cereal.
Although, I don’t think Tony would be caught dead in a Burberry Scarf — they’re so 2009. And, do Coco Chanels turn your milk chocolately, or just make it smell like old lady?

Sure, we all love a surprise with our Froot Loops — but it’s usually at the bottom of the box. These ceramic cereal bowls, by artist Geraldine de Beco, offer a different kind of surprise, to go along with your questionable breakfast. At first glance, the bowls appear to be nothing more than intricately sculpted. But when filled, reveal an animal of choice.

In what appears to be an unfortunately abandoned project, Kreepsville Industries commissioned art for a coffee table book, featuring creepy cereal mascots and grotesque breakfast options. When completed the book was to have over 70 pieces from some of the best illustrators in the business.
Why should kid’s cereals get to have all the fun? What if adults were lured to cereal by the vacant stare of a cartoon mascot? As Caldwell Tanner shows us, perhaps mascots are better left to the sugar-coated crack that is kid’s cereal. And we’ll keep buying ours based on what keeps us regular the best.
Was is it about vintage cereal boxes that gives us the warm and fuzzies? Perhaps it’s their ability to instantly remind us of a simpler time. A time when we were hooked on crunchy oat clusters and marbits, and our biggest concern of the day was what the prize at the bottom of the box would be.
