in which cereal puzzles me
I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the UK has a number of brands and kinds of cereal that aren’t sold in the US.

What confuses me is finding stuff that is the same thing by the same brand, and…it looks different. Pringles cans do a little bit, but it’s the cereal that I find especially odd, because it looks…outdated.
