Dining hall chic in your kitchen

When I was in college, the girls in my first year dormitory consumed approximately enough cereal to feed a European city-state (the Vatican, Lichtenstein, Monaco) for an entire year. Aside from the fact that cereal is relatively low in calories, part of the breakfast bowl appeal had something to do with its presentation at the dining hall. Imagine if you will an entire wall filled with dozens of colorful cereal containers. It was truly a refined corn product wonderland!

I relay this story only to let you know that when I came across the Indispensable Dispenser from Zevro kitchen products, I immediately thought of the few dozen women I knew who would surely appreciate a double-barreled storage container on their kitchen counters. The Indispensable Dispenser would probably expose secret Lucky Charms habits to friends and family, but hopefully by now they've all upgraded to adult cereals like All-Bran and Kashi Good Friends.

But maybe not. Either way, I've got a new go-to wedding present for all my old classmates because deep down I know that while you can take the girl out of the dining hall, you'll never take the dining hall of out the girl.
