Japanese Cereal Boxes
This post at Bedazzled, reminded me that, for some weird reason, we actually bought a couple of boxes of cereal recently. (I generally have a couple of boiled eggs for breakfast, sometimes a full on Ulster fry if I can manage it.)
One thing about the homebrew Japanese cornflakes is that the boxes are pretty cool looking; here’s a box of Ciscorn Frosted -
And the malt choco variety -
Next time I go shopping I might splash out and buy some Frosties, so you can see that Tony the Tiger stays the same, only the writing changes…

Co-co pops are different, but I can’t exactly premember how - I think he’s called Co-co-kun. So it’s “Co-co-kun Poppusu” or something

Remove the hyphen, and it becomes シスコン: sister complex, one of those made-up Japanese that fits in with Rorikon (Lolita Complex), Mazakon (Oedipus Complex), and Fazakon (Electra Complex).
Mmm, Big Incest, just in time for breakfast.
