If you have ever eaten in a college cafeteria this gadget will look familiar. Remember all of them lined up each with a different cereal? I am not the type to research a product to make my life easier, and if you know me well enough you know I like to poke fun at those who purchase "Made for TV" products. Let me include I did NOT find this on TV...I googled cereal dispenser (I am sure that makes me much cooler). To be frank, I have had it with Cheerios. The little yummy circle both my boys love flows way too quickly out of the box, which usually lands on the floor or all over the counter. They are a pain to locate and pick up, so thank you Baron for taking over that task. Now that we purchase the large 2 bag box at Costco my life dealing with Cheerios has gotten worse. Once you open one of the bags and take it out, it doesn't go back into the large box - hence all of the crushed cereal. You can't pour from the large box because the second bag may fall out, and it is just plain too bulky to pour. And on and on. So, now when I want to fill a bowl, a small snack cup, or even a hand I can without frustration. Plus, isn't it so cute sitting on my counter? Stay tuned in case this lovely gadget breaks in a week like most do.

What a great idea! I too have the same cheerio problem. My kitchen floor at this moment is covered with crushed cheerios, that I have been just too lazy to clean up. I don't see the point, since I'll have to clean them up again in the morning! I think I need to get a dog. However, now that Phoebe is crawling I rationalize that the more cheerios I leave on the floor the more she can snack. :)
Hooray! It looks so designer on your countertop!
