The story of Hi-Def Prisms

Vivi the mantis shrimp had giant spinning eyes that could supposedly see colors nobody else could, so she wore tiny wraparound shades just to survive breakfast. Every prism-shaped piece glowed in electric berry, laser lime and plasma orange. The box bragged that the colors were now in high definition, which nobody understood but everybody believed.

Fun fact

Kids held pieces up to the new flat-screen TV to compare colors, and the cereal usually won.
