The Kellogg's Spoon Offer.

[sandyRoe]

The first spoon I'd ordered, emblazoned with the name, Estragon, arrived today. It's not something a trencherman might enjoy using and will gather dust at the back of the cutlery drawer. It's about half the size of a tablespoon and much bigger than a teaspoon. Too small for the porridge and far too big for a boiled egg unless you had a taste for duck eggs.
What were Kelloggs thinking off?

The codes... Can they be from different types of cereal? Or do they have to be from the same?

[sandyRoe]

Different types.

[wolf63]

How much cereal adds up to a spoon?

Maybe a charity shop will take them.

[sandyRoe]

Good question, Wolf. I think they might be spoons for children. The second one ordered, with Vladimir on it, will be the last I'll get.

[stuey]

Sort of a flaky idea that Kelloggs came up with isn't it?

[ukanonymous]

when does the offer end? I havent submitted mine yet

[Psybbo]

I wondered what they would be like.

[sandyRoe]

"While stocks last"
They sent an e-mail saying the spoon was in the post and invited me to order another.

Excuse the mess. The scullery maid's day off.

[ukanonymous]

Well I had best get mine ordered. It will say on it SATAN. I am going to save it as a gift to someone for christmas

[sandyRoe]

If you sup with Satan you'll need a long spoon.

[sandyRoe]

These won't do.

Thanks Sandy, they'll do well on Flog-it in 100 yrs plus

The smaller spoon in the picture came free with Nambarrie tea a while ago.

Er - children?

[sandyRoe]

I wish they'd made that clear. ^
I was imagining an implement that I could have used for porridge in the morning and stew at suppertime.

[sandyRoe]

Wolf63, you need the codes from 3 packets to get one spoon.

[Buenchico]

Have you measured your spoon, Sandy? From your pic, it looks like it might only be 15cm long (which means that it's a kid's one). The adult spoons should 18cm long:

Doh! In the morning I'll take that spoon and give myself a rap over the knuckles with it. I never noticed there were kids + adult versions.
