    What is on the back side of the cereal boxes in the USA? Here there is a wicked French side...I've always wondered that

    games, advertisements, world puzzles, stupid little facts, colorful pictures, lots of different stuff :D

    when i was little, the best part about breakfast was looking at the back of the box :p

    I think they just have another english side
    so boring


    I love reading the french side of packages, try to muddle out the words before I turn to the english side and see if I'm right or not

    Well what if there wasn't something special on the back of a box, like if it were adult cereal?

    Same here...And things are so much more interesting too...like Rice Krispies. None of this silly "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" nonsense. "Cric! Crac! Croc!" all the way for me :p

    It's a federal law because you know Canada is a bilingual country :
    In 1974, the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act required the use of both French and English on all consumer packaging across the country, and bilingual packaging remains one of the most visible aspects of bilingualism for the Canadian general public...(from wikipedia :D)

    Oooh.. But..Burby.. I live in Canada, as everyone knows, and... They don't have a french side on the back. In vertical order, it just goes

    "Two Scoops
    Raisin Bran
    deux pelletées

    Very High in Fibre
    Source tres elevee de fibres"

    And then

    "BIGGER "Raisins secs
    and Juicier PLUS DODUS
    Raisins et plus
    juteux"

    Everything is below/right next to the english.. The sides are opposite french and English though.. Or some are English over French on one side...

    The back has a little happy message from Kellogg's about "We know you love Kellogg's Two Scoops* Raisin Bran, but now you'll love it even more" etc. and some pictures. :D

    Yes, Raisin Bran is my favourite cereal. :rolleyes:
