Just Breakfast Cereal...?

Lookin' for some healthy alternative to the normal breakfast, we looked around for some breakfast cereal at our nearby Foodworld. Cornflakes have been on our table for quite some time, so this time around we decided to try out some muesli! After spending some time checking out cartons on the shelves of Foodworld, we picked up something that seemed to have a good mix of cereal and was decently priced.

It was only the next morning on actually consuming the contents did we realise that we definitely got a lot more than we had Sodexhoed for! Whether it was just an overdose of verbose English (with lots of verbs, adjectives and adverbs thrown in) or something much much more we really don't know! Take a look at snaps of the carton for more details. What do you think?

Now, did that carton really contain an elixir of life or something like that? Does it also mean, this over-the-shelf box of cereal can compete with the (prescription only) little-blue-pill made by a multinational pharmaceutical giant? What do you think?
