I just got told off..

[Profpointy]

Maybe the telling off was for tipping all the rice crispies out onto the carpet rather than the pinching of the box per se

If she is anything like mine three rice crispies on the carpet represents RICE CRISPIES ALL OVER THE FLOOR and "But it's only three love" will only make it worse, furthermore they will have been counted so if one is stuck to your shoe you can forget about any reward for those Brownie points you've been accumulating over the past twenty years and now you will have less than the number of rice crisps on the floor.

In the eyes of your grand daughter though you will be sick (I think that is the right word)

The ruination of the box would appear to be the issue.
No Rice Krispies were damaged in the creation of this thread..

A solitary Rice Krispie would negate 27 years of Brownie Points, as you seem to know

It's not exactly Pokemon Go, is it?

No. It's real

Pygmy penguins excepted, of course.

Is you wife a Rolling Stones fan? This might pacify her.

The Rice Krispies are surely still in the inner bag, and will take up less space in the cupboard?

 

[Markymark]

Kellog boxes annoy me as they don't distinguish their contents form the side so when I open the cupboard I have 2 or 3 identical boxes. Taking them out of the box will help with this first-world problem.

As an aside, rolling rice crispies to a coarse powder makes a superior coating to breadcrumbs when coating meat/fish and frying.

You mean you don't decant your cereal into dispensers? How very working class...

And cereal itself isn't working class?

Wandering through Poundland this lunch time I couldn't help thinking about this thread when I saw their cereal containers....
