What is the shelf life of Golden Grahams?

The other morning I noticed a "magic eye" hidden 3-D image on the back of a Golden Grahams box.

And after pausing till I could see the surfer-shredding-like-only-a-Golden-Grahams-eater-can,

I thought to myself, "Wait a minute. Magic Eye?! Is this cereal box from the 1990's?"

Can't believe I was reading your last post, just as you posted this Golden Graham question! I'd definitely look for an expiration date on that box! LOL

Hi Jeorge, we meet in Rome last July, (i was one of the guy with the Dharma Shirt!). I would like to say thank to you for your time and for being so nice with us. I was searching if you had posted the photo you took with us... but i see you don't! Too bad... :)

Goodbye and thanks again!

But does cereal expire? Doesn't it have a shelf-life of, like, forever?

Well, if you end up on the toilet all day (perhaps the one you wore around your neck), you'll know...

Man, ask Ethan Suplee.

Capcom said...

Sheesh, good question to be asking. Or, are the Magic Eye pix coming back into style again? Nah. :-)

When the writers strike, Jorge, will you write one of the Lost scripts as a scab? I'd love to see a Mancoon encounter.j

Laura said...

It depends...you found it in a Dharma Station?

Great costume and amazing halloween gourd!!

Besitos

I was also confused when I saw that box. Sadly, I haven't been practicing my magic-eye skills since 6th grade and had to look at the bottom of the cereal box to see what the image was supposed to be.

Hi Jorge.

I am Gabriel, from Pamplona (Spain)

I am a recently fan of lost.

It has been a surprise find your blog.

Uff, my english is very bad, it is more easy write spanish for me.

Si alguna vez has escuchado hablar de la fiesta de los San Fermines (encierros de toros), estás invitado a venir. Sería un honor para mi y mi esposa conocerte y tenerte entre nosotros unos días. Te aseguro que lo fliparíamos todos.
Un saludo

loop dude....loop

In my opinion, all cereals have the same shelf life. They are all good until they start getting stale. The moment that they lose that crunch and become stale is the moment that they need to be trashed......that's just me.

Indigo said...

Saludos desde Chile, Jorge!
Aca te queremos bastante!
Ojalá que luego nos visites!

Suerte con las nuevas filmaciones...
Espero con ansias verte de regreso.

Saludos al equipo!

venus said...

Hello Hugo! I'm a great Lost' fan I like you and Kate but I LOVE Josh, please give him a kiss and a hug from me.

Unknown said...

Dude! i love you!

Equipe Ideias10 said...

Jorge, best regards from Brazil. Hugo's our favorite character from Lost. Thanks for bringing Hurley to our lives.

Hi Jorge,

You are an absolute legend. Love LOST and Hurley kicks ass.

Anyway, I'm one of the editors for one of Ireland's biggest college newspapers and I would love to organise an interview with you sometime between now and January (before the new season basically), which could be done over the phone or via e-mail.
I was just wondering if you would agree to that? I know you're extremely busy and probably wouldn't usually do interviews with Irish press, but if you realized how much this meant to so many Irish students, I'm sure you'd agree.
Over 22,000 people read this newspaper and for a small country like Ireland, that's a lot of people.
I'm sure I can't post my e-mail address here and I'm not sure how else to contact people through blogger, but even if you could let me know if you're interested in doing this interview through the blog, I'm sure I could get contact details to you (or vice versa) somehow.

Please consider this and either way if you could give me a yes, no or a maybe it would be brilliant.

Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Cian Taaffe,
UCD College Tribune

Enrico said...

Hey Jorge,
could you possibly post something about what the heck is going on there with all the wga strike thing? How the atmosphere is, if you're still working, what you'll do if you stop filming.. y'know, these kind of things (or at least what you're allowed to say about it)..

Thanks and keep up the good work :)

I remember the first time I saw a Magic Eye.

We brought the book and I was looking at it, at a coffe shop of Callao, in Madrid. I was... 13?

Anyway a friend of me (5 years later) was saying everybody that the book was false. It was a big conspiracy, because he couldn't see the 3D figures. And every single person that bought that book was lying :lol:

naná said...

hey boy!!!
i'm a brazilian fan!
you're the best!
we love you babe!
came to brazil to visit us!!

mamba said...

hi jorge!
can you tell us anything about the strike??

thanks! ^_^

maven said...

Jorge: How's the cast and crew taking the strike? What do you think about ABC announcing that they'll show the 8 completed episodes in Feb 08 even if they don't have the rest of the season finished?

Renee and Alex said...

Dude! Step away from the moldy grahams! Those went out in the 90's for sure...I hated them, because I could never focus long enough to see anything! Magic eye pictures I mean...I love me some Golden Grahams!

Renee and Alex say hi!

Unknown said...

Jorge please make a post about all the strike issue, we need to know what's going to happen next, we deserve it. First they cut down the show from 24 episodes to 16, then they take 9 months to start the 4 season, and now they going to gave us just 8 episodes??? it's not fear, I think i'm going to start to download the episodes illegally from internet...(I know it's not your fault)

There is this Eglish Style Pub in Fullerton and they serve this dessert called Sticky Toffee Pudding, and it is VERY delicous.

We went to the Pub last saturday and realised that Sticky Toffee Pudding's flavor resembles Golden Grahams...

ALSO, i went to High School with the guy who played "The Golden Boy" in the Golden Grahams' commercials!!!

Peace out Bro!

Unknown said...

I don't know what to tell you on the Golden Grahams front, but I remember you saying a while back that you like fan art. I made something I thought you might get a kick out of. It was inspired by Damon and Carlton's jokes about a "zombie season seven" on the podcasts. :)

Grant said...

Hey Jorge! Are you honoring the writers strike by not talking to us?

kelly w said...

you know what's scary? I bought a box of Golden Grahams last month that had that Magic Eye surfer. Clearly, their design division has limited resources.
