Mexico seems to have some sort of law that cereal and candy can't have packaging with pictures of cartoon characters. Most companies print special packaging for Mexico, but this one just went wild putting stickers all over it to cover the characters' faces so […] [Original post on a2mi.social]

Cereal box with cartoon waffles on it, with silly faces. White stickers have been placed on the box, but you can see through the stickers and see the faces underneath.

On the front of the cereal box there's a cartoon waffle whose face has been covered with a round, brown sticker. You can sorta kinda see the face behind the sticker.

It's giving me some of the same vibes as that picture from the "The World If..." meme.

An illustration of a hypothetical scene from a very modernist future. In the foreground, a park where someone walks their dog, and also a building that looks like LAX, and a flying car and a monorail. In the background, a super modernist city rises, and flying cars fly above it.

That's a kind of a surreal view. This is a picture taken from Viveros de Coyoacán, a large urban park that is a tree nursery. The building is Torre Mítikah, the tallest building in Mexico City, at 62 stories. #cdmx
