The Kellogg Company released a new cereal box design earlier this week. It's a space-saving box that is expected to fit into pantries more easily. The eco-friendly design holds the same amount of cereal but uses less materials. It's currently being tested in Detroit supermarkets and Kellogg hopes the smaller, fatter box will redefine the cereal aisle. I think the new box is fun but wonder if the general public will dislike the unexpected change. What do you think?
Lil Tip: Cereal Boxes Have Hidden Talents
As a cereal consuming family, we put at least one to two cereal boxes in the recycle bin each week. Instead of always tossing the containers away, I started creating other uses for them.
If you need to transport cupcakes or muffins and you don't own a cupcake carrier, you can gently put a load of the sweet treats in the box for transport. Just remember which way is up so you don't mess up the frosting.
And, if your child is old enough for a desk, he might enjoy filing boxes for their organizational needs. Just cut the box down to about 3/4 the height all around leaving the top off, too.
Then pick out some crafty printed paper and wrap the box with it. To avoid messes and give the product a nice finished look, use double–stick tape for best results. For the interior of the box, let your child design it using markers or crayons.
