When the man who bought this product complained to Milano's, a company rep conceded that "the packaging needs improvement." So will the product and package now be the same size? Of course not.

The wrong wonder

"How much do you know about the Natural Wonders located in North America?" is the question on a box of Safeway cereal. But the box isn't too enlightening. The picture under Sequoia National Park is of the famed Chandelier Tree, a coast redwood more than 400 miles northwest of the park.
