Frosted Mini Wheats has the stupidest commercials on Earth

"Rebecca's Science Fair is on the 8th. She's presenting the solar system."

"Hey I've got just the whole grain fiber to keep her full so she stays focused."

Okay.

So a child of average intelligence can't be expected to remember the solar system on an empty stomach? Plus, it's a science fair, so chances are Rebecca probably has it written down somewhere on her presentation. And since Rebecca is too dim to not write it down somewhere on the presentation or she can't read it, then maybe the Mom should be getting her better help than talking cereal.

Clearly, Mom is displacing her sense of inadequacy as a mother she feels from her failure to get Rebecca the help she needs into some superstitious belief that Rebecca's mediocre academic performance is caused by hypoglycemia. (I bet she sees a chiropractor and doesn't give Rebecca vaccinations). If Mom were a responsible mother, she would confide her doubts about Rebecca's apparent cerebral deficit into someone more credentialed than a clumped collection of complex carbohydrates.

But for the record I flippin' love Frosted Mini Wheats.
