First!
btw, WTF are Kix?
Have you never been down a cereal isle in the last 15 years……or seen a television????
On a side note….nice original idea on the graph. At least I think it’s original…I haven’t seen one like this before.
Perhaps Zelda is not American?
And yes, Kix are still around. My 3 year old stepdaughter loves them
I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but I can safely tell you that Australia doesn’t have this cereal.
Neither does Sweden :3
yeah welcome to this thing outside america, we call it planet earth.
You’re a jerk.
LOL jackass. Maybe those of us who don’t live in the US don’t know of this cereal.
from inside america, i can agree with your comment.
So is Kix a cereal or something…?
Kix FTW!!! that was my main cereal as a kid and today! love it.
I wanted to laugh. I really did want to. Then I didn’t. I just stared at the screen.
Are Kix still around? Am I so old that I don’t even know that they are gone?
(I still eat cereal for dinner sometimes, so I guess I should know.)
You’re in denial.
wewt. It’s funny, relevant, and properly executed.
i’d have to disagree with you there.
lima beans, cleaning behind ears, and the Feldman boy may have also been tested by kids, also. it would seem that these were not “kid approved,” but the caption doesn’t imply that. simply “kid tested” is a little vauge.
if we’re going to get technical.
i mean, good try and all. i still almost laughed.
More information would be helpful, certainly.
However, if you take the diagram at face value, the kids simply didn’t bother to experiment with beans, the Feldman boy, or cleaning behind ears. Hence, none of those things appear in the red-shaded area.
Similarly, it would appear that mothers did not deign to explore the virtues (and vices) of BB Guns, narcotics, limiting parental authority or boogers.
The mothers may have tested these things when they were kids themselves, but unless they retested (and approved of) BB Guns, narcotics, etc. again after giving birth, those things could not possibly fall in the green-shaded area.
Also, the punchline would be utterly deflated if the red-shaded area was “kid approved.”
I can say that I never once tested lima beans, washing behind my ears, or the Feldman boy when I was a kid. I knew perfectly well I didn’t want to mess with any of it.
Kix, on the other hand, were great! (Still eat ‘em)
“Kid tested; mother approved” is the cereal’s motto…
Well, Zelda the First, it’s a cereal made from puffed corn and oats with sugar added. Oh wait, it’s what your parents ate for breakfast when they were your age.
my god, am i that old? someone doesn’t know what Kix is? =/
i laughed at the graph though, very original
but i don’t like the Feldmen boy,
you’ll marry him and you’ll like it! Hes a doctor ya know… A DOCTOR. Better than that tattooed near do well you are running around town with.
-actual argument with my mom. *sigh*
ne’er do well.
“ne’er” being a contraction of “never.” Much worse than someone who nearly does well.
I’m the grammarian about whom your mother warned you. It’s a compulsion.
i am many years removed from being a teenager and i’ve never heard of kix. even after googling it i don’t recognize it, so it’s likely specific to the US.
I like this one alot, finnally an original graph
I thought the kid tested, mother approved thing was for Jif peanut butter. guess I’m wrong? I havent seen a Kix commercial in forever but yet I still remember that slogan.
Choosy moms choose Jif.
Narcotics? wtf? That’s hilarious!
Great job! I remember seeing the commercial where the brothers were testing their height after eating spoonfuls of the stuff…because it was supposed to help you grow. My brother and I tried it, too. XD
See? Now this is a Venn diagram! Funny too!
is the feldman boy by chance named corey? in that case, the mother probably wouldnt approve since narcotics would be involved (well…actually coke but thats not the point)
Yes Kix are a US product. And of course the tag line was “Kid tested, mother approved.”
Unlike a lot of the front-pagers (and graphs period), this is genuinely amusing and well done. Kudos for an original idea!
Great work!
For those of you who have no idea what kix is or don’t get the graph, this explains it all (watch till the end)
Just wanted to say I also appreciated that this graph was based on a recognizable phrase and not a “Doesn’t this always happen when…” senario. Good work, way to use your brain.
