Cereal Box Predicted 9/11
A man is auctioning off a box of Mini-Wheats on eBay. That in itself, while not entirely inspiring, isn’t too strange. The box of cereal in question, however, has some creepy details that make it ironic.
The cereal has an expiry date of 9/11, 2001. But perhaps the oddest feature of this product is the picture of an American Airlines plane on the front of the box, which was added as an advertisement for the bonus air miles consumers could collect through their purchase of the cereal.
American Airlines planes hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, on 9/11, 2001. (In case you live in a cave and weren’t aware.)

I don’t think it has anything to do with the 9/11 attacks because if it did it would
have more than just an airplane and an expiration date.

Sigh - this isn’t to be taken literally as if the poster really thinks that this cereal box predicted the event. It is just a surprising coincedence
