Gen Z & Alpha people wondering about the '80s & '90s,
here's a thing super different from today:

Everything was covered with writing.

You could read half of the text on the back of your cereal box while eating a bowl of it in the morning & still have another installment the next day.

Any decade before the zeroes had waaaaaay more text incorporated into visual comms than you're used to. The farther back, the more words.

@jack This was one of most frequently read items. I always read that stuff.

Each side had something to read. If there was some promotion going, there was even more on the INSIDE of the box.

@adampetrone Yeah, plus if you were a kid, just getting through all the unfamiliar words in the nutrition info took some time.
