An interesting, vertical theme featuring cereal names that end with X - Chex, Kix, and Trix. None of those were top-tier cereals for me. Trix, especially, although marketed as a kid's cereal, was always unsatisfying. It was basically Kix with food coloring.
But setting aside my morning preferences, the theme was good enough.
ENDORSEDCHEX - Came out in favor of a certain breakfast product?
GETTINGONESKIX - Doing some shopping for breakfast?
WHOLEBAGOFTRIX - Sugary bulk breakfast purchase?
Seems like it could have been funnier somehow. Still, it's not bad.
Lots of initials today: INHD (Like most TV broadcasts, now), AFLCIO (Workers' rights grp.), USTEN (Old long-haul hwy. from Detroit to Seattle), DDS (Certain calculus expert, for short), AFRAMES (Structures commonly seen at ski resorts), TGEL (Neutrogena shampoo with a slash in its name), and TBAR (Skier's transport). And a couple of fun "audio" clues: "Sound in a disappearing act" (POOF) and "Spittoon sound" (PTUI). Gross.
I had never heard of RUM referred to as "Nelson's blood," so that was fun. And who doesn't enjoy the word CRUX?
- Horace
