there should be a line of morning breakfast cereal... lets call it 'needlebix' (good name yeah?) with, say one in every 3 boxes have a few needles in them. this would make eating cereal much more exiting, but of course, it would have to have a warning on the box to avoid legal action.

       I'm sure it would be much more exiting (sic) That sorta thing can kill you, which is why people have been jailed for it when they are caught.   

       Tampering with foodstuffs like this is common enough. I don't see how this idea differs from imbedding razor blades in apples at Halloween.   

       Baked.

       I just remembered why it is we have a republic here in the U.S. rather than a full democracy.

       Actually, if the "needle" wasn't actually a needle but some sort of fancy-looking, differently shaped bit of edible cereal, this could be a workable gimmick.

       'exiting' = 'exciting'. Of course, if it was bran with prunes, it could be both...   

       Egnor's idea is better, this is just 'it's like food, but it kills you!' like we had with that one mook a little while back...

       Egnor's idea is baked. Here in the UK we have a potato snack called Hula Hoops. There was a promotional gimmick whereby some of the Hula Hoops were square, instead of round. Find a square Hula Hoop in your packet, win a prize.
