What makes this video brilliant, though, is the unintended meaning behind the video. Cereals are packed with seemingly harmless yet potentially harmful ingredients that we’ve been told for years are essential for breakfast. Over time, particularly for our children, it may seem like we've escaped without consequences due to our metabolic flexibility. But judging from rising health issues and life expectancy trends, the damage has caught up with us faster than we imagined—and it’s beginning to manifest in younger generations. More diseases that once affected only adults, such as diabetes and high cholesterol, are now being diagnosed in children. These altered characters offer a vivid depiction of what our health looks like as a result of consuming too much sugar and grains—both of which are prevalent in cereals and chocolate bars. It’s no wonder that frequent consumption of these 'treats' contributes to a range of diseases such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. The subliminal messaging here is both brilliant and profoundly sad. It's as if you've peeled back the branding facade and exposed the real impact of these supposedly 'kid-friendly' and 'nutritious' cereals. How ironic is it? A concerned little chap from Nesquik. Snap, Crackle, and Pop—characters who now show the effects of hearing, seeing, and speaking no evil. Lastly, a boy drowning in his dreams of a Milky Bar soup, yet somehow losing his happiness. These haunting plots reflect the terror and disease hiding behind these colorful boxes—and within our bodies. Now that’s what’s truly ready for the breakfast table! By extension, perhaps we could shift the narrative towards a campaign that raises awareness about the hidden dangers of sugary cereals. Engaging parents and caregivers in this conversation could go a long way in promoting healthier meal choices for their children. #subliminalmarketing #prematureaging #diabetes #healthybreakfast

🎵🎶 They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky, Come in and take a looky, I’m destroying packaging. This exercise is pointless, How much? I can’t quite express, Come watch my design process, I’m destroying packaging. Buh Buh Buh Bum (click click) Buh Buh Buh Bum (click click) Buh Buh Buh Bum Buh Buh Buh Bum Buh Buh Buh Bum (click click)… Okay, that’s enough of that. To celebrate the impending creepy season, I’ve decided to take a selection of much-loved children’s characters from your local supermarket and do some… “things” to them.
