    Walmart Brand Artists don't even try anymore

    I just got back from doing a little shopping at Walmart.

    I kid you not, this is a real box of their Walmart brand sugar frosted flakes cereal.... I took this picture myself just now.

    Their artists don't even try

    As a matter of fact, the box art doesn't even make sense ?

    they are Frosted flakes, frosted like the igloo that penguin lives in while he goes cereal fishing.

      Oohhhhhh,

      But is he fishing for the cereal ? ... or the fish ?

      The thought of live fish in my cereal doesn't make me hungry

          Wal-Mart just spent millions of dollars revamping not only the look of the "great value" label, but also reformulating many of the products too.

          Some of the "Great Value" stuff isn't too bad, while some of it is barely edible. I happen to like the spaghetti sauce better than Prego or Ragu.

          The new packaging look is strange. Mmmm...Fish flakes!! LOL!!

            Me too.
            Besides it tasting good and being thick, it don't give bad heartburn like a lot of BRAND name spaghetti sauces do.

              You buy cheapo food, you get cheapo packaging I guess? Although this does look like the artist drew it while on the crapper, 15 minutes before he had to hand it in for approval!
              I wish they still used the Simpsons for their line of pop, but I think thats gone to the Great Value logo as well.

                      Hahaha that's actually funny. I really don't care about the Box artwork as long as the corn flakes are good that's all that matters to me....I put my flakes in a container anyway....

                              I kinda like that drawing!! I don't like the fish jumping out of the cereal because ick, that's gross, but I love the penguin. I think it's the possessed and insane look the penguin has. He's really cute to me.
