I expect I have alluded to this before, but may have never properly addressed it: Cracklin’ Oat Bran.
This box design has not been in use for some while, but provocateurs still attmpt to push the agenda by distributing empty boxes through trusted commerce channels like ebay and dumpsters that have not been cleared out in 15 years. The decision was made to remove cereal from the box not because it would be inedible a decade and a half in the future, but to reduce the weight for shipping, with the expectation that buyers could reclaim the exciting breakfast experience if they wished by eating the box.
“More, please.”
This is supposed to be a cereal for adults. Get your own dang cracklin oat bran. And for heap’s beep there is a G at the end of “crackling.” The first meal of the day and you are already slacklin’ off in multiple unrelated ways.
“More, please” is no request. It is a demand. The “please” is totally disingenuous. You are liable to be banished from this cruel Victorian workhouse with that sort of entitled attitude!
And that strawberry slice is a work of fiction; I have eaten fruit with cereal before (you are surprised at my adventurous tendencies, no doubt), and the distribution never works like that. Only with cautious planning is there enough fruit for there to still be any when the cereal runs out, and my boss here was not even smart enough to take a promotional photograph of a product with the product actually in it. I think this cracklin hobo has actually not had any cereal yet; there would be more crumbs than that, and plenty of unsightly white goop residue. If this were authentic I would not be able to look at the bowl to make such an analysis. But the bum didn’t even pour it out the first time. I could understand demanding more if you had painfully exerted yourself to fill the bowl, and that was your accomplishment for the day, and you now qualified for assistance. Trying to trick me by cracklin’ a few oat branuloids into an empty bowl and cutting one strawberry into half is disgraceful. You think I do not use my oat brain? You think I am using my raisin brain today? I am not such a tragic case!
Well there you go. You should never have gone. Another home wrecked by raisin brain. Could someone you tolerate have a raisin brain addiction? I am disgusted that you put up with that!

I like Raisin Bran, but I prefer Oatmeal Squares because it is much more efficient to eat oatmeal in square form in a way that doesn’t actually suggest oatmeal at all. That crunckle cereal is notable as it costs more than either brannon raisins or oat quadrilaterals.
I’m more surprised that someone would hire the nemitz, unless the nemitz is addicted to carrying briefcases in the same way the elpse is addicted to brannificated sun-dried grapes.

My cereal fiction, published on Bimshwel. It’s an honor and a privilege. Now, please cut some strawberries (cool) up for my ant bran? I’m on government bran assistance. It’s your duty as a taxpayer.

Aren’t brains basically raisins anyway? I never paid attention in science class.

We have no evidence that nemitz held a job. Only that nemitz stood in a doorway wearing a hat and near a box.
A:
Fiction?! So you LIED to me!
H:
I imagine raisins do not pay very good attention either, so they are no closer to solving the mystery than you.
