No Ledges.
I dreamt of 7 ancient rings melted and reforged into a crown of great power. A man leant forward out of the darkness and claimed it, his face frozen in mirth as his eyes bled milk.

These are delicious. I've been trying to eat them with some fresh fruits but bananas instantly blacken with rot, strawberries shrivel into their wild and bitter state, and the blackberries dissolved into a swarm of biting flies when I mixed them in. Anybody have any success eating these with fruit?

Spare batteries are pretty key.
When he added the seventh grain,there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven spoons were given to them.

Another angel, who had a golden mug, came and stood at the altar. He was given much coffee to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smell of the coffee, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the mug, added to it cream and sugar from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Has anyone else started to experience harassing phone calls from General Mills? An automated voice asks me if I want to take a survey, but all the "questions" are just heavy, obscene breathing.

'No more than 5 grains inside any one box.' These words are plastered all about the production line.
We do not dare trust the machines with this. They can not respect it, they can not fear it.

There's nothing supernatural or magical about the power of the ancient grains. They just possess technology beyond our understanding.

America's #1 consumer of Cheerios + Ancient Grains is the sleepy colonial seaside town of Millsbury, MA, with a full 10% of all boxes being shipped there in daily truckloads along the one dirt road connecting the town to the outside world. Oddly enough, the reporter we sent to write a puff piece on Millsbury's apparent Cheerio Fever claims that the town's one grocery store doesn't carry any cereal at all, and whenever he tries to follow a Cheerios truck to its destination he always loses track of it somewhere in Millsbury's vast array of old-growth forest. We'll have more details on just where all these Ancient Grain Cheerios are going as soon as he finds the time to call us again; he's been oddly quiet these past couple of weeks...

According to the General Mills FAQ page:
Pin the box to a willow tree by a silver spike.

I can verify this works but don't do it with any willow tree you own or have a sentimental attachment to. The tree in my backyard is growing really weird leaves now. They're, like, strings of tiny little circles or something? I tried taking the box down but it started screaming.

Yeah should have mentioned DO NOT PULL OUT THE SPIKE. EVER.

I grabbed a box of ancient grains + cheerios the other morning but I had a really weird dream last night, and when my infant daughter started crying in the night and woke me up I went to go check on her but she was crawling on the ceiling. I guess I was just kind of dreaming that though.

I'm sitting here at work now and I have a headache the won't go away and every time I blink I hear screaming and see a brief flash of a dark dimension of some circular form hurtling through a void of visible darkness. Maybe I should try tylenol? Please advise.

Brought one of the single serving boxes to work to eat for lunch today. Opened it via the flaps on the front, but instead of cereal there were organs inside as if I'd just cut open a tiny, rectangular animal. The tiny heart was still beating, even!
Needless to say it spoiled my appetite.

Every time I try to pour the cereal into a bowl of goats milk/blood it starts to swirl and a tiny maw with a million sharp teeth forms into existence and sucks in all cheerios while a thousand doomed voices whisper vile things in my ear. I mean the box of cereal never empties but it's starting to get annoying because how am I going to get my daily fiber?

Opened a box of it, didn't find any grains inside but every time I look inside I can feel something gazing back at me and I get this weird urge to draw on my walls for the next several hours. Now there's a bunch of eyes on my walls and I can't tell if they were there the whole time or not. Was very disappointed.

Went back to the store to return it only to find out that it had burned down over 50 years ago or something? Sounds like some kind of scam to trick people out of refunds, Yelp's gonna hear about this.

what a night. the wasps finally stopped and i shooed them all out of my apartment with only a few stings. when I came back in though there was something on my wall

it's circular and about the size of a car tire maybe? hard to describe beyond that because if you give it anything longer than a passing glance the pain is unfathomable and you can feel all your bones contorting and trying to pull themselves out of place

i really wanna get this thing off my wall but if just looking at it is that bad I'm afraid of what'll happen if I try to touch it

Also every time I think I've got the maze figured out, I swear it changes so I can never escape. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

I am a master storyteller.
at first i only ate them for breakfast or maybe a late night snack, but I soon felt myself craving them more and more. lunch and dinner were cheerios. i would wake up in the middle of the night and find myself, seated at my breakfast table, eating. i do not remember my dreams anymore, just the horror of them. faces on the street become O's and the O's are faces screaming. i do not remember my parents or my brother. i do not remember my name or who i am. i know what i must do. i open the box and prepare to crawl inside, to join the rest of them until i too eat and am eaten. but first i clip off the box top for education and mail it in.

No wonder it costs so much; instead of using a plastic bag to keep the cereal from going stale, it looks like it's made out of stitched together intestinal casings!
