Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party!

description

Remember Saturday morning? You’d wake up before anybody else, turn on the TV and watch cartoons for hours on end. All the while you were getting much more than your recommended daily allowance of sugar, carbohydrates and artificial colour from the huge boxes of pre- sweetened breakfast cereal. Then we grew up, and all we have of those idyllic frosted Saturday a.m.’s is the memories. Until now! Because we’re going to bring you a full-on Saturday Morning Cartoons and Cereal Party! You just bring yourselves, and if you have a special spoon or stuffed animal you can bring that too. The cereal will be all-you-can- eat and the cartoons will take you back to a younger, more innocent and yes, stupider time. Includes original retro commercials!
