When I was about four of five, I used to eat rice crispies in front of the TV. Then came the day that I asked my dad what the snaps and crackles were when I poured the milk in. He said that they were snaps, crackles and pops. I then remembered that Snap, Crackle and Pop were the names of the elves on the cereal box. That gave me the idea that they were living in my cereal. I didn't eat rice crispies again for a while.
