Wormy

Remember that episode on Spongebob Squarepants about Wormy?

Sandy leaves SbSp and Pat in charge of her cute pet worm who becomes a pretty butterfly in the morning (and almost destroys bikini bottom)

I had a similar episode today morning when I sat down to eat my (frugal) breakfast (of Champions).. today I picked Corn Flakes (99% fat free please) and exactly 200 ml of (Skim) Milk.

OK so maybe I didn’t sing “a friend is a friend till the end of the end”  with a worm but he was in my bowl! 

So I’m already doing a no sugar challenge and all I ask is for a decent breakfast to keep me fueled for a bit. So this little guy shows up in my bowl before I could place a large spoonful right into my mouth. I almost threw up.

A barely broken-in carton of Kellogs Corn flakes. But in the midst of the grief  and shock, I thought, hey maybe I could expose these MNCs for what they were.. money sucking worms (pun not intended).

I first read the Carton for expiry. Long time for that.

Then I looked for a helpline number. But before I could find that, I saw a sign on the tab  “Store in an airtight container to prevent infestations” 

There you go. Damn you wormy, I still lost my breakfast!

Oh I also discovered that corn flakes have sugar! (note to self: read the labels!)

So wormy are you the good guy or the bad guy?
