What Else Does The Box Say?

The box says, "Shut up, Steve," but of course you knew that. If you're like me, you've been weirdly fixated on this Multi-Grain Cheerios commercial (the one with the bullying woman and her hyper-accommodating husband). For weeks now, I've found myself responding to peoples' earnest questions by desperately pleading, "Nonononono! It's just the box!"



Imagine if you will my astonishment when I learned that Steve and the missus are actually British. I'll give you a second to let that sink in.

That's right, they're actually British, with British accents. The American-accented voices we've been hearing have been dubbed over a British commercial. They've even computer-CGIed a different box over the original euro one! I was only able to find this small sample of the original British commi, but it's more than enough to cause cognitive dissonance-related permanent brain or spinal cord injury.



Remember folks, you heard it here.
