In 1954 when I was 4 years old we got our first TV. An advertisement for KIX breakfast cereal showed a boy and girl my own age eating the cereal and then flying off the floor and around the room while the noise of a jet plane was heard and the announcer said: "Eat KIX and be jet propelled". Soon afterward, the first time I ever ate KIX cereal was absolutely beyond a doubt the most horribly disappointed I have EVER been in my life, and that was 50 years ago!
