Hey thanks for sharing my idea. a little credit would have been nice :-)
i can confirm that after 3 years its still as fresh as when i made it and even smells like cereal.

Surely the cereal isn't very strong? It must break pretty easily?

Looks easy to break the usb port. put one thing on that spoon and boom. Otherwise pretty great looking ,lol!

I know it is but I've seen usb ports break, a little bit of pressure on the end of that spoon and your usb and a part of the side of the laptop could be gone.

If you copy other people's stuff you should at least give us the source.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6mzTRLeFTE

...maybe he didn't know...

well he did you the same cereal
Jun 4, 2010. 2:30 PMzascecs says:
How do you know he knew...?
Jun 4, 2010. 3:46 PMEmsaid says:
well it looks exactly the same, and it even uses the same cereal

Well this is the internet. There are over 4 biljon people of the more then 7 who live on the earth on the internet. So the chance that you invent something usefull that noone thought about before is very very unlikely. I had the same with my melting popsicle ible. I made one out of wood after getting the idea. I thought I was being so original and all of the sudden someone links me an internetpage with the exact same idea only they made it with cardboard. I couldn't believe my eyes. So therefore my motto is "it's almost certain that what I am making is already made by someone else. But hopefully I'll do it a little bit better..." And besides this is a very popular cereal found all over the world. Also the shapes are easier to work with then for instant honeybees or something.

It could be a coincidence; or it could be the same person...

If it stays good 'forever' it is better as a USB spoon than as consumable food! He's done mankind a favor.

Nice I like the creativity that is invested in this project One thing keeps me wondering though... What will happen with the cereal overtime? Can it survive over the years or will you: a) have to throw it all away because it will start to smell? b) need to replace the cereal from time to time?

I'd think you'd want to at least spray the cereal with a coat of varnish or something, so it doesn't attract vermin or grow mold.
Jun 4, 2010. 9:43 AMEmsaid says:
sure it does... (not)
Jun 4, 2010. 10:10 AMMichelMoermans says:

Well, how about an estimate then? :)

A week? A month? A year? and what will happen to the cereal? Decolorize or something else?
Jun 4, 2010. 11:42 AMEmsaid says:
yeah right, mybe a week at best im sure you havent even had it for a week,
Jun 4, 2010. 4:11 AMsimonsgreene says:
interesting, but I have the same question:what happens to the cereals over time?
