Topher's Breakfast Cereal Character Guide
Links and Acknowledgements
| Submitted for your approval... You find yourself walking down the cereal aisle of your favorite neighborhood grocery store. A particular box catches your eye and you stop to look at it. You remove the cereal box from the shelf for closer inspection. Suddenly, the bottom breaks, spilling an almost endless supply of cereal all over the floor. It doesn't stop. Before you know it, you're up to your knees in little colored corn puffs. Looking down, you notice the cereal is full of little prizes and you've found them here. These links will keep you busy for months, exploring everything they have to offer, and before you know it, you'll find yourself in The Twilight Zone. |
