How about this for a publicity stunt with a mission. Intimina, a feminine care brand, is offering you a box of cereal. It consists of crunchy red bits shaped like the female reproductive system. Why? They want to normalize conversations about menstrual bleeding.
Start your day with a spoonful of uteruses and some chit-chat about the discharge of mucosal tissue and accompanying blood.
Are we descending into a crazy realm? Surely this is not normal behavior…https://t.co/9KGzNyokIG

Yum!
When can we expect the aborted fetus cereal because that’s a conversation people want or need to have?
The raspberry-flavored ‘Period Crunch’ was born because the Swedish company claims that talking about menstruation is not “truly normalized.” Arguing that “’periods are normal and talking about periods should be normal.” …
Dr. Shree Datta, a gynecologist at King’s College Hospital, sided with the company and it’s [sp] efforts, saying: ‘I’m delighted Intimina has taken the bull by the horns and developed Period Crunch to help raise awareness of the ongoing social stigma around periods.”
She continued: “Periods are a natural part of who we are, so it’s deeply concerning to hear that so many people remain uncomfortable discussing them, when they are just another part of our health.”
How about Hemorrhoids? Wait, the polyps they collect when you get a colonoscopy! Why not a box of cereal called buboes. They could rename corn pops or Captain Crunch Oops! Just Berries, and market it as a way to explore conversations about lymphogranuloma venereum, plague, syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, tuberculosis, or maybe even Monkeypox.
These are all just parts of our health. Who doesn’t want to talk about normalizing conversations at breakfast—no reason not to broach any number of subjects, including genital mutilation or chemical castration of children? How about anal bleeding! Who is not embarrassed by that!
The company is Swiss (by the way), and this is supposed to be an awareness campaign – see also a PR stunt – to garner attention to the brand. Being outrageous is an excellent way to attract interest, but it also invites conversations about just how far people will go in that pursuit.
Down in Texas, a lunatic decided to shoot up a grade school to get attention. It worked. It also brought forward a wide range of issues that have only gotten worse since the Broward County Parkland shooting. After which, by the way, a commission recommended arming teachers and staff.
The cops didn’t charge in to rescue kids from the shooter (just like in Parkland). Parents were denied the chance to do it for them (one apparently did get in and got her kids out). They had to wait an hour for backup law enforcement. And all (probably) because of people who would applaud ‘Period Crunch’ cereal as a conversation starter while shutting down conversations about the systemic failure of “government” to protect the citizens it would disarm, not that it ever had the obligation or ever will.
You are your only first line of defense in any situation.
It’s all connected to the culture and who destroyed it, Democrats. Grab a bowl or some hot java, and let’s have a conversation about that.
And kudos to the UK Daily Mail on their lead for this story Make womb for breakfast. That’s just awesome.
