Woman's mind blown after learning little-known cereal box fact in the supermarket

Cereal is a breakfast staple in many people's homes and you might even have multiple boxes tucked away in your cupboard - but how closely have you looked at them?

One woman has recently had her mind blown after noticing something interesting about the cardboard boxes in the cereal aisle in the supermarket.

A TikTok user named Francesca, who posts under the name @francescacharityshop, shared her discovery on the video platform where it went viral, being watched more than 130,000 times.

She wrote: "WHAT?! Did anyone else know that cereal boxes do this?!"

And her video was simply captioned: "Mind blown."

In the clip, Francesca then showed the front of a box of Asda's own-brand Corn Flakes.

The box features a picture of a bowl of cornflakes on a piece of wood, but only three-quarters of the bowl is visible.

Francesca then took another box of cereal and positioned it sideways next to the first one, showing how the design wraps around the box - and you can now see the full bowl, with a spoon positioned on the side.

She added: "And there was me thinking Corn Flakes are a boring cereal."

People on TikTok were equally as flabbergasted, with many admitting they had never known this either.

More than 8,000 people liked the video with hundreds commenting on it.

One posted: "Oh my."

"That's so cool," wrote another.

A third posted: "That's satisfying."

"I never knew," admitted someone else.

"I am gobsmacked," proclaimed a fifth person.

A different user joked that now "every cereal aisle" was going to be "rearranged" to look like this.

Others claimed they already knew the box had a wrap-around design, but they'd never thought to line them up like this.
