Our neighbors went away for the weekend and asked us to collect their newspaper. (They had recently found a great deal on Groupon for the Sun-Sentinel.)
Yesterday the paper was unusually big and, picking it up, I saw that the bag contained three small boxes of cereal, one of which was Reese's Puffs.
If you subscribe to the Sun-Sentinel you no longer get a full-time classical music critic, or pop music critic, or film critic, or theater critic, or book critic, nor do you get a Home & Garden editor, a Food editor or a Travel editor. But you do get a sugary cereal. Instead of increasing literacy, my old newspaper is contributing to obesity.

Sometimes they even give you a sample of Motrin or Prilosec. I guess for after reading what remains of the Sun Sentinel!
