Neat 'Continuum' homage to 'A Dog's Breakfast' (minor spoilers for Continuum)

[Frostfox]

In Continuum, when Sam is shopping she buys some breakfast cereal, I thought I recognised the box, and I was right. I finally managed to watch A Dog's Breakfast a couple of weeks ago and look what's on the table -

There's a full picture of the box on the ADB fan web page 'A Squirrel's Breakfast'
Snurched with thanks.

I don't have a screen cap of Sam buying the Frootees from Continuum, but I'm pretty sure it's the same design.
Nice little nod to ADB (which is great fun).

You realize that this effectively ties A Dog's Breakfast into the Stargate universe. I mean, there is literally nothing stopping it from happening.

In the alternate timeline where the Stargate was never found, a man fitting Rodney McKay's physical description, though named Patrick, has a sister whose new fiance drives him to murder...

Oh, how cute!
At least they were smart enough to not show the "rice crispies" on the side!

Laughs! Hadn't thought of this!
Makes a small universe.

Could do with a screen cap of our favourite astrophysicist and the box in question. Any one have a copy?

Here you go:



Wait...is that just a Kellogg's Rice Crispies box with the front changed to that of Frootees'?

Laughs, you're right! They just stuck the picture on the front of the box! At least ADB made the whole thing.
Thanks for the screen cap.

Mars (David Hewlett's dog) as a member of the Atlantis team - new for season six?

[Noxchild]

Now that's why I read Gateworld!

Good catch, Frostfox. Awesome, in fact.

Thanks for sharing. I will have fun pointing this out to a couple of friends.

I thought it was very cute and obviously the TV/Film industry in Vancouver is a relatively small world, there will have been people working on Continuum who worked on ADB.
Though I haven't quite figured out why 'Frootees' has the tag line 'Go Nuts For the flavour of...' surely 'Frootees' implies fruit flavour?

^must have soemthing to do with the Squirrel

[Amaunet]

I'm actually surprised that someone (Frostfox) noticed that, it makes you think how many other little things must we have missed over the years

[Replicator Fifth]

Or they just didn't want to make their own mock cereal. "hey David, can we borrow yours?"

[VSS]

As long as it's fruit loops, I don't care where they got it from.

[Hanmer]

Ha! Nice catch!

Could've been a bit more careful with the Rice Krispies thing though. Couldnt they have stolen the box from 'ADB'?
