Type either one six-letter word or two words of six letters each.

Answer: cereal

Ordinary cereals can have a variety of interesting names. Some are OATMEAL (Question 1), TOTAL (Ques. 2), and PUFFED RICE (q. 3 and 4). Then there are LIFE (5), WHEATIES (6), and SPECIAL K (7 and 8). Also CAP'N CRUNCH (9 and 10) and LUCKY CHARMS (11 & 12).

As if that weren't enough, we have CLUSTERS (sorry about that)(13) and APPLE JACKS (14). Did you hear that Cap'n Crunch was arrested? He was accused of being a cereal killer! (Groan!) And so as our ship sinks slowly into the sea, we bid a fond farewell to the exotic cereal islands. We'll return some day, dear friends. Aloha! (Bad Don Ho music plays as we FADE OUT).
