Kellogg’s CEO advice to cash-strapped shoppers: Let them eat Corn Flakes for dinner

Last time I checked, corn flakes weren't that cheap. My go to is still rice.

Name brand cereal has gotten so expensive. I swapped to store brands and haven't noticed a huge difference. Probably better to stop eating cereal in general.

No fucking way did this dude just say the 21st century verion of "Let them eat cake"

Let's eat him, instead.

I'm hearing an open invitation to guillotines!

I'm a Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) fan, and unfortunately the team is owned by Dan Gilbert who also owns Rocket Mortgage. During every game, they run this Rocket Mortgage commercial that shows this schlub of a man bringing home three bags of groceries while the voiceover says how it used to be six bags of groceries for the same price. Then his house starts talking to him, reminding him that he has equity in the house and thus can take out a second mortgage and use the money to pay for ... groceries. Just a horrifying, dystopic nightmare with catchy music and an animated smiley house.

Like anybody reduced to eating cereal for dinner is buying fucking Kellogg's when they can get the Aldi version for like a third of the price.

I go out of my way to avoid giving that fascist family any of my money.

Fuck you you fucking fucks.

I guess we have to reinvent the guillotine, version 2024. History will talk about let them eat cornflakes. It's so ridiculous because cornflakes here is more expensive than a loaf of bread.

Fuck that. Oatmeal is way cheaper and more nutritious. If we're going that way I'm not giving Kelloggs money.

This is the greatest work of art I’ve ever made in 30 seconds in ProCreate:

This Kellogg's?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Kellogg's_strike

1kg Kellogg's cornflakes = €4.79

1.5kg Aldi porridge oats = €1.19

If I'm eating a cereal product for dinner I'll go with the more filling and versatile oats

You guys remember when a box of cereal cost $3?

Those were good times. You know…2021 or so.

Remember, cereal was first proposed as a cure for masturbation, so rub one out for freedom.

If I had to eat corn flakes for every meal, it would work the way John Kellogg intended. I wouldn't have the strength to jerk off. I would be too damn depressed.

What a piece of shit CEO. I wish they people would feel unsafe saying this type of stuff to struggling people.

I'd rather eat your children, Moneybags McFatfuck.

So when do we pull out the guillotines?

Not as catchy as let them eat cake.

Sorry, but how does he think someone who is cash strapped is buying the name brand, and not the dollar tree version? Wow this dude is so out of touch

Do they make cake cereal? Missed opportunity if you ask me

Sometimes it's best to shut up

Well, if I still ate cereal, I would stop eating kellogg's.

Besides, that breakfast cereal was created because Kellogg thought that it would stop people from masturbating.

Grains loaded with added sugars for your largest meal. Surely that won't contribute further to this country's health crisis, like it didn't already do that by marketing itself as healthy for growing children.

is this what late stage capitalism looks like, when the cause of the problem tries to disguise itself as the genius solution?

Bachelor Chow.

As a child i always thought cornflakes in any shape are a good breakfast. As an adult i'm just scratching my head, wondering why we got diabetes for breakfast. If i'd be too poor to eat properly, cornflakes would ve the very first thing that has to go. But i don't eat them in the first place, so fuck you kellogs boy.

And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!

Here is a money saving tip for Gary Pilnick: eat shit!

So we just stop buying Kellogg's products.

What happened to a chicken for every pot?

Tony the Tiger was arrested today. Witnesses claim he was seen eating random people on the street while shouting about how “great” they are. Local police have reported an uptick in cereal killers as of late.

One should never eat corn flakes.

Yeah, that pit in your stomach doesn't go away after any amount of cereal.

Now let’s eat the rich for cereal! >:3

Odd that the words are so similar to "let them eat cake"

As the solution it led to was caused by LESS of a problem than exists now. The economic disparity of 18th century France was less than the disparity of today

I lived on Grape Nuts for like three months in college.

Difference now: I'm not in fucking college.

So... If he was selling guns, he'd suggest people just killed themselves?

Stop buying half full cereal boxes.

I suggest that Gary Pilnick eat my ass for dessert.

Mmmm…

Monsanto flakes. So tasty

Store brand cornflakes at best

The picture is depicting Special K, not Corn Flakes. Some "adult" cereals like Special K and Total (do they still make Total?) actually have 100% or more of certain vitamins and minerals, so it's a totally viable option as a "meal replacement". I don't know Gary Pilnick from Adam, but it wouldn't surprise me that some rich dickhead said something that comes off as completely tone deaf.

I watched some video on YouTube where they tried to tackle the question "what one thing could you eat day-in and day-out and survive the longest on without suffering some kind of malnutrition." I think they ended up on Subway's Veggie Delight or the Cold Cut Combo with all the fixings, so that you're getting at least some of your USRDA of vitamins.

I...I think that's our queue to chop this fuckers head off

The company is actually called Kellanova. WK Kellogg, or Kellogg's, is a dead entity name.

emmmmm, Chlormequat
