Don’t be daft, why would I do a post about 101 Handy Useful Household Things To Make With Cornflakes when you can’t make ANYTHING useful with cornflakes, they’re too flakey? That’s why they’re called CornFLAKES. If they weren’t too flakey they’d be called CornLUMPS.
I like eating Cornflakes at night. When I tell people I like eating Cornflakes at night they go, “UURR, that’s WRONG – cereal is for BREAKFAST.”
Says who?
Idiots, that’s who. They’re the type of people who have never experienced the delight, the joy, the sheer and utter RAPTURE of emptying a box of Cornflakes out onto the kitchen floor and DANCING IN THEM UNTIL THE CRUNCH HAS STOPPED.
They’re the type of people who would never consider THE HILARIOUS TRICKS you can play with Cornflakes, like stuffing a big handful down the back of your brother’s pants while he’s in the kitchen pouring his new girlfriend a glass of Diet Coke, or stuffing them down your colleague’s carefully sculpted cleavage as she’s running out of the room to make it to her promotion interview. Or putting some in your Granny’s cup of tea so that when she’s tipping her head back to drain the dregs THE SOGGY CORNFLAKES FALL ONTO HER FACE and make her scream and throw the cup at your mother. (When they get wise to the Cornflakes in the tea trick and start hiding the Cornflakes, use a chunk of Steak and Kidney Pie instead- it’s heavier than Cornflakes so it hits the face sooner, usually well before half the tea is drunk so you get to see THE MOUTHFUL OF LUMPY TEA SPLUTTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE and A FUNNY LITTLE DANCE WHEN THE STEAK AND KIDNEY PIE FALLS ONTO THEIR LAP). NB. It might be a good idea to learn how to do the Heimlich manoeuvre or you’ll get all the blame if a choking situation goes wrong.
They’re the type of people who will never put on a production of CORNFLAKE HEDDA GABLER.
They’re the type of people who have never seen JESUS in a Cornflake.
They’re the type of people who have never seen ABADDON THE DESTROYER, THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT in a Cornflake.
They’re the type of people who have never asked a Cornflake ‘HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?’
They’re the type of people who PUT SUGAR ON THEIR CORNFLAKES WHEN THEY EAT THEM IN THE MORNING and also PUT SUGAR ON THEIR PORRIDGE if they have porridge instead of Cornflakes. In the morning.
SUGAR ON PORRIDGE IS DISGUSTING AND NASTY.
SALT goes on porridge. SALT. Nothing else.
They’re the type of people who NEVER have WORDY BLOCK, and if they ever DID have WORDY BLOCK they wouldn’t know how to try and bulldoze their way out of it with a shitey post about CORNFLAKES.
465 words. I need to do 500 or I can’t have my Cumberland sausages which are PROPER BREAKFAST FOOD, not SNACK FOOD FOR NIGHT-TIME which is what Cornflakes are.
HALLE-FUCKING-LUJAH!
500 WORDS.
BOSH!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (breathe) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ………….I have eaten them at night time too. I have never played tricks with them. *Note to self…re-read Dotty’s tricks to play on Steve. I would never have guessed that you have ‘Wordy Block Lurgy’ I hope I catch it if it makes me produce such an hilarious post as this. Does that make me mental too? Who cares. Shopping list: 1 very large box of cornflakes but no sugar so I can dance on them ’til the crunching stops. (You get the same effect with cockroaches but cornflakes are easier to get.) Thank you for the entertainment this morning. Oh and I haven’t clicked on that evil doll’s eyes Jemima, I’m too scared. Love from Chris x

/ July 25, 2012Cornflakes for meals. Yuck.
There’s only one thing cornflakes are good for cooking, Cornflake Honey Crackles.
Melt 90 grams butter, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tbsp honey together in a medium saucepan until the mix is frothy. Add 4 cups corn flakes and mix together well. Spoon the honey cornflake crackles ingredients mixture into paper patty cases. Bake in a slow oven for about 10 minutes. Eat them until you feel sick just like you did at pre-teen birthday parties. We won’t discuss teen birthday parties here. That’s a different cornflakes story altogether
Are you sure it’s Wordy Block? Your word count seems fine.

/ July 25, 2012The last time I had cornflakes was in 1985. I wish I had known these tricks before then, when my mom gave it to my brother and me for breakfast — I could have used them to terrorize him.
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 25, 2012Dear Swordy,
Buy some – even if you won’t be eating them you can still do the tricks. Another good one is to pour half a box of Cornflakes into a zip-up cushion cover when you have a guest coming round, place the Cornflake cushion on the chair or sofa where the guest will be seated, then watch their face when they lean back and CRUNCH. You could take a photo.
