 General Mills Introduces Cheerios as CheeriOats (1941)General Mills introduced its oat-based, ready-to-eat cold cereal as CheeriOats but, in 1946, changed its name to Cheerios because of a trademark dispute with Quaker Oats. Today, it comes in nearly a dozen different flavors and is marketed to children as well as adults.

Are you pregnant? I don't know why I thought this, because I don't know you, and just stumbled upon this blog....but, that's my guess.
My guess was a hearing aid, but whose?
If it were yours, you could blog about it.

Hearing aid. It's crazy small.
And it's not mine!
It is cool that it's so small. I remember older one's as so conspicuous - though better than saying, "What?" or "Huh?" all the time.
Hearing aids aren't so bad...
I got that type, with the clear wire, but I had to go back to the totally obvious looking ones because they kept falling out.
And the only reason I had to get new ones in the first place was because my dog ate one and the other fell out during a ride on a superfast rollercoaster...hehe.
