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

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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

    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)..

    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:

    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?

    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!

    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. :)
