There were 4 kids in my household and it was impossible to eat that much cereal that quickly.

Calvin & Hobbes spoilers I guess:

Ill never forget the story from Calvin & Hobbes where Calvin spends weeks eating box after box of cereal just so he can get a propeller beanie that he keeps fantasizing about.

He finally saves up enough box tops and his mom helps him send away for it, then waits weeks and weeks impatiently until it finally arrives. Then he goes to put it together and a little piece of the motor snaps, keeping the thing from working. It was so sad.

I think his dad ends up being able to fix it for him but the moment when it breaks after he waited so long is just devastating.

So don't delay, act now supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned, you might as well be walkin' on the sun

Yeah, that was one of my favorite C&H storylines, and I did think of it which is what inspired this topic in the first place.

(To finish the story, yes his dad helped him fix the broken propeller, but then he ended up hating it because it didn't actually make him fly like he thought it would, but decided it was worth it anyway because it the cardboard box it came in was fun.)
