The ABCs of dealing with settled raisins in Raisin Bran

[Enterprofilenamehere]

Any enjoyer of Raisin Bran knows the hardship of dealing with raisins that have mostly settled to the bottom of the box during shipping. This is due to the raisins being smaller and of higher density than the bran flakes. It's a problem as old as time.

There are many possible methods to redistribute the raisins more evenly throughout the box. Now my question is: How do you deal with it? Do you:

A. Turn the box upside-down and shake it a bit before opening it right-side up
B. Turn the box upside-down and shake it a bit before opening it upside-down
C. Turn the box upside-down and open it upside-down to get at all the raisins right away at the expense of a later raisin drought
D. Take the bag out, turn it upside-down, shake it a bit, then reinsert it into the box right-side up
E. Take the bag out, turn it upside-down, shake it a bit, then reinsert it into the box upside-down
F. Take the bag out, turn it upside-down, then reinsert it into the box upside-down to get at all the raisins right away at the expense of a later raisin drought
G. Do nothing, open the box normally without any prior prep and deal with the immediate raisin drought followed by a later raisin monsoon
H. Do nothing, open the box normally without any prior prep and deal with the early raisin famine by adding your own raisins or other dried fruit/berries
I. Meticulously sort the raisins from the bran, then add them back together at the optimum ratio and at perfectly even distribution
J. Same as I., but only eat the raisins
K. Same as I., but only eat the bran
L. Shun Raisin Bran and make your own with corn flakes and store-bought raisins
M. Eat an entirely different cereal instead
N. Starve to death, unable to eat the infuriatingly unevenly-mixed Raisin Bran in front of you
O. Get checked into a mental institution, unable to mentally deal with settled raisins
P. Irradiate the entire surface of Earth with thermonuclear devices, thus rendering any debate on raisins moot
Q. Join the countless scientists before you in attempting to genetically-engineer a new species of grapes that produces raisins of equal density to bran, thus solving the raisin-settling crisis once and for all
R. Proclaim all raisins and bran flakes as equals under the law, making uneven distribution irrelevant
S. Rename the bran flakes to raisins or the raisins to bran flakes
T. Buy Kellogg's and discontinue Raisin Bran
U. Become a global dictator and outlaw possession of Raisin Bran, with perpetrators being sent to the gulag
V. Wait for grapes or wheat to go extinct
W. Combine 4 million boxes in one large vat, creating a large enough "Goldilocks zone" of perfect distribution in the middle to be exploited
X. Open the box in the front and eat it all at once like one of those mini single-serving cereal boxes often taken on camping trips and whatnot
Y. Build a shrine and start a new religion, praying for evenly-mixed Raisin Bran from the almighty smiling sun
Z. Have your memory erased so you no-longer have any recollection of the existence of Raisin Bran (the ignorance is bliss approach)

So OT, what do you do?

I would transport the raisins separately, for example in the stomach...

At college, we did J, but with Crunch Berries.

[ṼṏẌṏḭḊ]

I pick the raisins out and chuck them in the bin.

Just buy bran then.

[Grendalcat]

Option A, but option P is looking better all the time.🙃

I don't want just bran for breakfast.

What in the hell is "raisin bran"??





So, Z, or so it would seem.

Hmm. Reading through it - i´d say option Ä:

Put that aside and grab the bread with cheese and bacon out of the reusable box - and a tomato.

So OT, what do you do?

First, give the box a few gentle shakes.

Set the box on its side on smooth surface.

Spin the box, using centrifugal force to help more evenly distribute the contents.

Hand the box to someone else, as everyone knows Grape Nuts is the breakfast cereal of real men...

I take the box out, pour flakes into a bowl, and most of the Raisen Bran into a new ziplock bag, until I get to the last of the sttled raisens and pour those into the bowl. Now the raisens that settled on the bottom are on the top. I do not shake the bag so that when the raisens start to settle again they disperse into the flakes evenly.
