Laurie and Debbie say:
Having a product called Sexcereal is funny enough.
Seriously promoting it as being full of foods that make you sexy is funny enough.
Having different versions of it for men and women is funny enough.
But honestly, the folks behind Sexcereal are in the wrong business. Hollywood pays big bucks for people who can be this hilarious:
Once upon a time, not that long ago, before there were drugstores on every block, when you wanted something to nourish or heal you, you simply walked into the woods and gathered the plants, herbs and spices that after thousands of years of human trial and error proved their medicinal worth. Thats the purpose of food and thats what SEXCEREAL is a food with purpose.
Forty years or more ago, the mother of one of Debbies friends used to say that in the days of hunter-gatherer societies, between harvesting food and avoiding predators, people probably werent thinking about multiple orgasms. Besides, we thought the purpose of food was nutrition and satisfying taste.
It isnt clear that the makers of SEXCEREAL know this, but the history of breakfast cereal is tied to the history of promoting sexual abstinence. In the late 19th and early 20th century, men whose names are still household names today (Graham, Kellogg and Post) created corn flakes and grape nuts as part of a health food craze tied to the Seventh Day Adventists, who are also celibacy advocates.
