Harmony is a new
breakfast cereal created by
General Mills. It is billed as a "
nutritional breakfast cereal for women." It contains
folic acid, soy protein, and calcium. Quite frankly, despite the ridiculous packaging and the marketing ploy, it is the best tasting cereal I have ever eaten. It is
vanilla flavored with little almond clusters (I know, it's been done before -
Clusters.)
Anyway, the cereal's packaging consists of a white background with
soothing light blue womanly silhouettes dancing about, and
multicultural women enjoying their breakfasts. I have a box of it sitting on my desk at work. My
hooker-esque supervisor saw it from the side and rushed over to my desk and in a surprised voice asked me what it was. I twisted the box around so that she could see the cereal bowl on the front and told her that it was cereal. She was somewhat relieved and then, in a
conspiratorial whisper leaned over to me and said, "
I just saw the women and thought it was Kotex! I was gonna say, 'Aren't you embarrassed?'" I looked over at her and said, "I wouldn't care if it was
Kotex!"
As if I should somehow be embarrassed that I possess a
uterus and I am of child bearing age.
