5. With all the blathering about Trump that goes on here???

This is of greater significance.

I have "Trump" on my DU trash by keyword list. It's the only thing that makes DU tolerable.

Nothing trump does or says has any more significance than the quacking of an angry duck. He's the empty face man of a death cult.

Alternate ways of folding a cereal box give me hope for the future.

7. Huh! Been doing it wrong all of these years!!

Who knew? This is good!

8. We store open cereal bags in a Tupperware-like sealed container

It lasts a lot longer.

The method in the video is clever, though it only works if you can open the box top without tearing, especially the little tab, which is much harder to do these days with the strong adhesives they use....

9. Brilliant! I wish I ate cereal, so I could try this. nt

10. Wow! That really works. Great for those times when the lids fail to remain closed.

.

By creasing in the two sides, it creates a 3/4" slot on both side for the lid to secure itself to.

I just tried it on my kid's Cap'n Crunch (yes, with Crunchberries)

.

11. Makes me wonder how the first person to try this

figured it out. Clever.

That's even better than folding in the flaps on the ends of the aluminum foil box to hold the roll in.

12. Just shoot me.

My whole life I've hated trying to close up cereal boxes. Those stupid tabs always rip apart. The top never stays closed. If the box tips over, and that dang top has come open then you've got spilled cereal everywhere. I love my dog!

I probably wouldn't have divorced my DH or shipped the kids off to military school if only I'd known about this from the beginning.

See ya, I gotta go try this out!
