Yes it would be cool, but do you realize how much space those boxes take up. I still have a few.

I have a few in my bookcase and a couple in a tote in garage. Not really sure why I’m still hanging on to the boxes.

Honestly the cereal was pretty bad when it was fresh, could only imagine how horrible it would be this many years later.

I mean, at this point, a collaboration between Kellogg's Pops and Funko should have been inevitible (for obvious reasons, haha)...right? :)

I haven’t bought any of the Funko cereal. I was going to once but my friend had told me not to. They bought one before and the cereal itself was bad. So I passed on it lol

Yep! That’s the one. I had a collectible can of Slurm from Futurama (I think it was actually an energy type of drink) that all of a sudden exploded from the top and got everywhere. Luckily, it didn’t ruin anything but it was gross. Ever since then, I make sure to empty all food products before putting them into my collection.

good to know that I made the right choice to not eat the cereal- but they certainly do take up a lot of space!

Plus, the worst side effect of the cereal was that it turned what you passed pretty much whatever color the cereal was when you went to the bathroom later in the day.

I tried the Elvira cereal at DCon, which was black, and later that day I thought that I was dying because what I passed was almost totally black (apologies for the gross visual). I really thought there was dried blood or something bad mixed in there. After calming down, I remembered that I tried a bowl of the Elvira cereal earlier. Needless to say, that was the last time I consumed FunkO’s.
