When I was little, I used to believe that "serial killers" were actuallly CEREAL killers, and would hide in cereal boxes, break all of the little bits of cereal, and then when you opened it, they would come after you. When I was about 4 or 5, I was listening to the radio with my Mom and heard about a serial killer on the loose. I immediately went to my neighbor's house and warned her not to buy any cereal because a cereal killer was on the loose.
