Basically, 2010120801 isn’t actually anything of any real substance until we look at the context in which we are using it.

The whole point behind Chronoflakes was a frankly insane attempt to tap into the then burgeoning, and utterly ridiculous, market of nostalgia for childhood convenience foods . They figured if you were old enough now that you remembered those awful, lukewarm oat flake packets from your youth, it would be a huge selling point. The problem? It tasted exactly how you remember, which is… not great
