-- very random -- very funny --

You should have added a philosophical spin to your post, though, something to liven-up the purely stats aspect -- like "I had just driven to the supermarket in my Dodge Intrepid for a box of Apple Jacks -- then, as I was paying, it hit me like a ton of bricks..."

Let's look at this another way:

The Intrepid has a curb weight of about 3,500 lbs and has a base sticker of $19,945, plus $550 destination charge -- but let's just call it $20K.

The most popular size of Apple Jacks box sold is 10.9 ounces and retails for an US average of $3.39.

That's actually 5,900 boxes of AJ for a Stratus -- but maybe you used a local price.

So, $20,000 gets you either 3,500 lbs of Stratus or 4,019 lbs of Apple Jacks.

Am I the only person surprised by how close these numbers are? It suggests that the two items are not so very different in nature, after all -- when you consider that one sells for $5.71 per pound (the Stratus), and the other for $4.98 per pound (the Apple Jacks) --
