Puzzle boxes, Indy reading and a light up adventure spoon!
In the previous, I have shared my shopping excursions for Indy related materials and my fears of becoming an Indiana Jabba from all the Indy snacks (note on this week’s spree I bought the "low-fat" Club crackers). Well, this time I am learning some restraint and looking at the value of some of these items will grant the buyers beyond a few calories and some nutrition.
PUZZLES
The back of cereal boxes have been providing kids (and adults) substantial reading material over breakfast for years. While not in the same category as The New York Times of Wall Street Journal, these cardboard periodicals have provided food for thought and provided a wall shielding the annoying brother and/or sister for decades. With Indy about to return, adventurers fueling up for a busy day can start to prepare for a quest with some amusing games. On the back of the Indiana Jones cereals that I have found (Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies, Corn Pops, Apple Jacks and Frosted Flakes) there have been a variety of puzzles to entertain the brain while eating. One can enjoy the challenge of an Akator Maze from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Crack Indy’s Code with a cryptogram, or outmaneuver an opponent in the "Floor of Fate" connecting game. There are also some trivia questions bound to make any Indy fan roll their eyes at the simplicity. These puzzles are also on the ice cream boxes (M&M Cookie sandwiches) if you are "Jonesin’ for adventure" with a "whip-crackin word find" and some more trivia.
USEFUL UTENSILS
Now, I mentioned the Eggo Waffle mail away offer for an "adventure Indiana Jones search light" that may come in handy if you are stuck in the dark. Well, if you can’t wait to for the mail to bring you some light, try boxes of Kellogg’s Apple Jack’s for a light-up, adventure spoon! Coming in red, yellow and green, these babies will light the way if you find yourself eating in the dark. The spoons also come etched with Indy symbols from the upcoming film, from a skull, ant and the ever dangerous snake (being a super-smart guy, I naturally pulled a yellow light crystal skull spoon that bathed me in supreme intelligence as I munched my cereal). So there are two reasons why these Indy items are good for you!
MAGAZINES
What would a trip to the store be without a browse down the magazine aisle, this week you can find several Indy-related periodicals. We have Harrison Ford gracing the cover of Mens Journal and National Geographic Adventure in both he he touches on his return to his most famous screen character (here’s a hint - it isn’t the Russian sub captain in K-19). And you can still read my letter to the editor in Vanity Fair’s April issue on George Lucas’s comments about Indy fans (I know - its a shameless plug for me).
FIBER
Now, it may be the "gears" and not the mileage if you don’t keep your body running right, don’t worry Indy has that all taken care off. Being on boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats, Raisin Bran Crunch and Nutri-Grain Bars, Indy fans can rest easy knowing their colons will be rolling like a giant boulder and clearing the way of any unwanted waste products thanks to the off-worldly powers of "fiber". ’Nuff said on that subject.
That should do it for this week’s food finds, but like the snakes in the Well of Souls, there will be more coming in.
I have posted pics of the lates finds in my - my pics so check them out!
