I'm at the store the other day buying cereal* and I came across a box of Corn Pops that expires in October…on my birthday.
Now, I bought the cereal in question because Corn Pops are delicious, but also because I'm vaguely afraid this cereal could be tied to me in some kind of portrait of Dorian Gray-esque manner. Like, for every Pop that's eaten, that's one step closer to my end of days. But now that I'm in possession of the box and can control the ebb and flow (eat and flow?) of the contents, I'm now virtually immortal.
This whole scenario was actually a deleted scene from Highlander. The director cut the scene since having Chris Lambert hoarding boxes of cereal somewhat detracted from the whole sword fights-and-beheading theme. Still would've done less damage to the franchise than Highlander 2, however.
* = and other groceries, though my diet is "single guy sad" enough that a cereal-specific trip to Shoppers Drug Mart wouldn't be out of the question
