Existence = Life and Glazed Tiny Grains = Frosted Mini Wheats, but I haven't figured out what the other two are.

Ah, nice! I should have figured that one out.

Ahh, “Weev” is a four-letter version of “Weave” the same way “Chex” is a shortened “Checkerboard”, perhaps referring to the Ralston Purina checkerboard logo.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It looks like Chex, so I suppose that makes sense. Aren't you all focusing on the wrong things though?

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I assumed something like shredded wheat.

Trix and Cookie Crisp I think.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think you're right. Cookie = Sweetdisk I can see, but Crisp and Chomp are pretty different.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

I agree. Sweetdisk is established to mean to mean cookie.. Malt O Meal “Cookie Bites” cereal does exist, but it’s a not so well known rip off of Cookie Crisp.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

I thought it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but that makes a lot more sense.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 0 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I think Sweetdisc Chomp is Honey Nut Cheerios.

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Sweetdisk is the Strange planet name for cookie

[–] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

I thought Honeycomb.

And Tiny Glazed Grains = Rice Krispies or maybe Smacks.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hm, but none of the words in the name correspond, plus it's not so much known as a kid's cereal. And Cheerio is established to be Jauntio here.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

Honey (sweet) disc (round Cheerios) chomp (nuts). That's how I thought anyway.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Naw that's jauntios.
