		+	::Not convinced, to be honest. Rice Krispies very much do contain almost nothing ''but'' rice. Honey Bunches of Oats (I still find it hard to believe that's a real name) contain oats and honey. I think this is just silliness. If it's supposed to be what you suggest, it's a pretty poor attempt – it would be better only referencing Apple Jacks, rather than things that ''do'' contain the things that their names imply.

+I think there is a deeper meaning to this comic than is currently in the explanation. Perhaps highlighting the fact that it is ridiculous to name a cereal after a fruit when it contains little to no actual fruit. This is highlighted by the fact that "meat-flavoured" cereal is factually incorrect and sounds disgusting. "Fruit-flavoured" is equally misleading.

	Apple Jacks cereal have very little actual apple in them. That's why they don't taste like apples. Perhaps Scrapple Jacks has very little actual scrapple in it.

	:While they may have little apple in them, I don't know that that's necessarily the reason they don't taste like apples (as I noted in the [[Apple Jacks]] comic itself, the wiki page for the cereal alleges they are supposed to taste like Apple and Cinnamon. Other candy or cereals that have fruit flavours (for example, the candy Runts) rarely have any of the actual fruit in them, but still have flavourings that are designed to taste like that fruit. The question is whether Kellog's used poor flavouring in their cereal, I suppose.
