Ahhh, it's the day of the sixth-grade science fair. That means last night was science fair eve. I'm not sure if all of you celebrate science fair eve. But if you don't, you're really missing out.
Things I've learned over the years on science fair eve.
You can soak a bean seed in Clorox, then plant it, and it will still grow.
Scalded milk and unscalded milk will putrify at the exact same rate when left out on the counter.
Excel spreadsheets are not very intuitive for an eleven year old.
Carefully measuring, marking, and gluing pictures and graphs on a science fair board takes way longer but doesn't really look any better than a good-ol-fashioned eyeball and slap it down.
I could go on and on. But I really wanted to tell you the dramatic revelation from Nate's science fair this year. He found that if asked, most people will say they prefer name brand cold cereals. But in a blind taste test, name brand cereals were hardly the most preferred.
There you have it. Your money-saving tip for this year.

There was a lot of eyeballing and slapping stuff on here a couple of weeks ago. Happy Science Fair Day to you and Nate!
As a cold cereal connaisseur, I must say there are quite a few generic brands which I prefer to the original major brands.
My personal favorite: Malt-o-meal's Frosted Mini-Spooners. Way better than Frosted Mini-Wheats.
I am in agreement with Nate's findings.
And I also agree with Jesse about the Frosted mini-spooners
I bet brand name honeycomb would win.
Just sayin.
sorry, this is actually josh, not heidi :)
DAD!! Don't fall off the edge of the blogging world when you're just getting back in!!
