Know Your Knock-offs
![](https://www.myoddsock.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Know-Your.png)
You gotta love knock-off brands. You can save money and you really don’t notice the difference in taste. (Well, not too much.)
Knock-offs are sly as they package their goods using similar color schemes as the original.
And because product names are copyrighted, knock-offs must cleverly use titles that closely mock the true brand.
How good are you at picking the original?
In this knock-off cereal challenge, I’ll show you the knock-off product and give you four possible names. Your task is to pick the original.

I loved Chocolate Ball Bearings when I was a kid! Haven’t eaten solid foods since I was seven, but I loved them. Funny piece, Doug!
Dave,
Thanks for the ups! I love them all…I’m like a serious cerealer. Yeah, you gotta let Cocoa Puffs soak up the milk a little bit—but not too much.
Margaret,
Thank you for the compliment. The answer is D…(way too easy!).
