Sometimes random conversations spawn random thoughts that in turn develop into random ideas. This happened recently when I discussed breakfast brands and slogans with co-workers while reading a blog post about Twitter hashtags. Something in my brain put the two together and a tasty social media cereal was born. Being a branding guy I found it fun to not only expand the list but to match each tasty offering with a fun tagline.
My endorphins started racing so I decided to share them with the socialsphere. Enjoy!
1. Honey #Hashtags
“We’re gonna tempt your tummy, with the taste of ‘tags and honey”
2. Fiber +1′s
“Tastes so +Good, you’ll forget the +Fiber.”
3. Cookie Klout Crisp
“Silly Perk, Klout is for kids!”
4. “Like” Crispies
“Like, Follow, Poke…into your morning!”
5. Facebook Flakes
“Show’em you’re a ‘Liker,’ Show’em what you can do, the taste of Facebook Flakes, brings out the ‘Liker’ in you!”
6. Twheaties
“The Breakfast of Tweeters!”
7. Lucky Blogs
“They’re Magically Bloglicious!”
8. WordPress Pops
“Gives every post a POP!”
9. Cocoa Circles
“Tasty chocolate networks in every bite”
10. Special +K Algorithim Clusters
“You can make a game out of Tweeting every Topic in sight. “Kloutastic!!! That Algorithm’s alright!”
11. Frosted Follows
“Facebook tested. Follower approved.”
12. Sugar Stumbles
“Sugar loving Stumbler’s just can’t get enough!”
So, there you have my list. Let’s have fun with this one. What social media cereals and slogans can you create?

Inspirational Fortune Cookie #Quotes (From Last Night’s Dinner)
Our family enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and then moved on to dessert. Part of the ritual is to read the fortunes out loud. This batch contained some catchy quotes and a couple of funny predictions. Ten out of twelve are inspirational. The other two perhaps could be classified as such so I am sticking with that theme. Besides, these days we all could use a bit more inspiration…right? Enjoy!

2. “Character Is Who You Are When No One Is Watching”
3. “He Who Hesitates Is Last”
