Thanks Joey Green, you crazy mad scientist, for such gems as "the little known uses of Cheerios."

Cheerios®

  • Relieve itching from chicken pox, poison ivy, poison oak, or pain from sunburn.  Pour two cups Cheerios in a blender and blend into a fine powder on medium-high speed.  Put the powdered Cheerios into a warm bath and soak in the oats for thirty minutes.  It’s a soothing oatmeal bath.
  • Give yourself a moisturizing facial.  Make a paste from ground-up Cheerios, lemon juice, and honey.  Apply to face, let sit for ten minutes, then rinse with warm water.
  • Relieve dry, chapped hands.  Pour one cup of Cheerios in a blender and blend into a very fine powder.  Empty the powder into a large bowl.  Rub your chapped hands in the powder, gently removing the top layer of dead skin cells.  Rinse with cool water, pat dry, and then apply hand cream.
  • Make “Cheerios Chicken.”  Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Line a jelly-roll pan (15.5 inches by 10.5 inches by 1 inch) with aluminum foil.  Mix two cups finely crushed Cheerios (from the yellow box), one-quarter teaspoon pepper, one teaspoon parsley flakes, one-quarter teaspoon garlic powder, one-quarter teaspoon dried oregano leaves, and one-half teaspoon salt.  Dip four chicken-breast halves (skinned and boned) into one-quarter cup milk, then roll in cereal mix until well coated. Place chicken in pan and drizzle with two tablespoons melted margarine.  Bake until done, about twenty to twenty-five minutes. (Above 3,500 feet elevation, bake about thirty minutes.) Makes four servings.
