When I was little, there were these ads for Cheese Strings. I absolutely hated Cheese Strings, but one day I saw an ad and I didn't really listen. They were advertising a contest to win a Gameboy Colour, and they showed a sort of Gameboy like design on the bag. I thought that there was a Gameboy in every bag of Cheese Strings! I made my dad go and buy me some, and boy was I disappointed. Then I had a weeks supply of Cheese Strings. Ew.
