Kellogg's Done Capitalizing Off Swine Fear

After giving the impression that Snap, Crackle & Pop could save your kids from swine flu, Kellogg is reportedly "discontinuing the packaging of its Cocoa Krispies cereals that claim to boost children’s immunity." NYU's Professor Nestle said that the company had no choice, “They had to. [It's] too embarrassing and [it faced] too much risk of setting off the FDA." Which leaves onions to capitalize off the H1N1 epidemic.

Woah, look what they went and did to Kellogg's Diner in Williamsburg! What was once a down-at-heel, 24/7 greasy spoon to which all hungry, blotto hipsters inevitably succumbed has been transformed into a 24/7 upscale diner you might actually consider eating at sober. Unless you're one of the disgruntled locals who has lived in the neighborhood for years and can't stand the slick facelift. But the food at the old Kellogg's was pretty gross, even by greasy spoon standards, and after over three decades in business, it was definitely in need of some repairs—as anyone stabbed by one of the loose springs in their dilapidated booths can attest.
