The story of Y2K Bug Bites

Everyone was worried the clocks would break at midnight, so Y2K Bug Bites turned the panic into breakfast. Glitch, a cute beetle with a circuit-board shell and blinking antennae, promised the only crash would happen in your bowl. The box back had a countdown clock you could color in. When nothing happened, the cereal stayed anyway.

Fun fact

Some boxes had a fake error message printed on the side panel, which made at least one dad check the toaster.
