I buy Post Honey Bunches of Oats on a regular basis.  There is always, ALWAYS (for at least two years now), a promo on the box involving some sort of contest to meet an hispanic celebrity that I have never heard of (because I am a super whitey Midwesterner).  I never thought of Honey Bunches of Oats as an especially culturally specific product.  What am I missing?  Or are they just pushing hard to grab that quickly growing segment of the population?

who is the celebrity?

Wzz

oh for crying out loud.

prince royce? is that what you are trying to post about?

much easier to just post the name this way.

and zsazsa, post and run? SHUN.

H finished off the box this morning and I was looking at it as I broke it down for recyling and then put it in the recycling bin that was picked up a few hours ago.  So I don't know the name.  But I have no idea who Prince Royce is, so he could qualify as a celebrity that I don't recognize.

Here's my RPOTD contribution: Prince Royce sounds like the least Hispanic name ever. If I read that as a name, and saw no picture I would have guessed country music star.

<div>Wz was going off on FLANY for posting a link and not the name.   But it seems FLANY deleted, so it makes it look like Wz was being snotty to you.   Not the case.  </div>

Ha!  She specifically used MY name in her shunning.  Now I'm shunning Aunt Flo!

I did some googling and found an article saying that Aaron Diaz is the guy on the box now.  I have no idea who he is either. <--racist

AuntFlo

She was shunning you for post and running.   Deservedly.  ;p

And I don't know either of those people, so I'm with you.  That would not get me to eat Post cereal.

Wzz

THANK YOU, AF. i appreciate the explanation!

Wzz

and yes, sorry for the double post here, but i am time crunched - the link she had said Prince Royce, which was weird to me. and then it was deleted, twice i think.

the shun was definitely for post and run.
