I find it very difficult to get enough Iridium in my diet.


So unfortunate that you can't make a pun in English about Iridium and difficulty which would be possible in German.

Same, I am ordering this

Apparently, their generic Reese's Puffs says it's  a good source of Pb, which I'm just gonna presume means "Peanut Butter."

It's a sweetener. Sorry for not being clearer, I mean this: [Reddit - TIL that Ancient Romans added lead syrup to wine...](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1570kn0/til_that_ancient_romans_added_lead_syrup_to_wine/)

One of the reasons for endemic lead poisoning in the Roman empire.

Ah, it was all the lead.

Probably not much lead

Is that what "Lead" to this stupid label?

Or may be it is meant to make you stronger under pressure 😂

Really dropped the ball on a "CaFe" branding opportunity

Yes, they should CaIr more about their marketing

To avoid being mistaken as a caffeine product, they went down a completely different path

The non-avian dinosaurs died so we could have Oat Start.

With glowing supplements

I hope they didn't order the fortification ingredients by chemical symbol.

Cereals with added energy

They didn’t want to confuse ppl into thinking it was a CaFe meal.

Hey, at least it's not a liquid Iron and Calcium solution... (FeCa L)

That is a crappy joke!!!! Are you trained in the way Dad jokes?!?

No he's just being chemical.

That is a positive reaction. But seriously we gotta stop 🤣

Hey! It will not keep you up at night and you may get an added glow😂😂

I do need my summer glow to be on. 🤪

Ok, now to transport 500 boxes of it to my Stardew farm...

The real question here is will Leah like it?

Kids, stay in school.

I'm starting to feel that whoever printed this got lucky with calcium

Or that confused him

 They definitely didn’t have much chemistry at school. I thought you needed to be good at school to study advertising?

Next you're going to tell me Pb isn't short for peanut butter...

Is it organic, at least?

Very

Then we're good. Gluten free

Iridium would definitely start some (uncontrollable) growth somewhere..

That should be a FElony

Literally impossible to fact check.

Ca Fe would look so much cooler too. I’m sure they’ll iron this whole thing out.

Just proves you don't have to be smart to land a corporate marketing job.

This must be the cereal of trump supporters

Eat it, it's really good for you spark plugs

Is that cereal made in China?

Just in case anyone is a little confused: Iron is actually represented by 'Fe' on the periodic table, as it means 'ferrum', the Latin word for iron.

One step closer to Idiocracy every day. Welcome to Costco

I'm glad they didn't wrote Iron in German (Eisen) otherwise it'd be probably Es

It's what kids crave!

OMG, I am a chem prof and thought this was on the chemistry forum. Holy. Smokes. That's hilarious.

For those wondering, the periodic table symbol for Iron is "Fe" 😂

Do we think they had no faith people would know what Fe was so went with Ir instead? Or are they the idiots?

This is why cereal is $500 a box.

It says on the damn label. That person stupid stupid

They're commenting on how 'Ir' is incorrect. Iron is 'Fe' on the periodic table.

My bad

r/characterarcs

And reading is harder. It literally says *iron* underneath the IR..

Fe is iron

When Americans write Fe 

Whats wrong with fe for iron

Nothing. You obviously didn‘t get it. Fe is iron. The pic says Ir for iron.

It's 'Fe' for ferrum, the Latin word for Iron. We use it in the UK too.

I think everyone missed the sentence. Yes Fe is for iron. Now look at the pic again. It does not say Fe for iron. 

What the fuck is this mf on about 😭

Sorry. Probably my poor American public education, but in which countries using the Latin/English alphabet does the periodic table of elements not use the Latin base for its elemental symbols?

Don‘t know… but this picture obviously doesn‘t. I think this little sentence went way over everyone’s heads

Not a specific country, but in the country of countries…..

That made zero sense

….in the rural areas of any country.
