Breakfast of champions

But not of spelling bees, apparently.

I found a typo on my cereal box today. There's an asinine and not particularly educational montage on the back, full of useless geographical trivia questions targeted to kids who are maybe 9, yet with the sense of humor of your typical three year old.

One of the "fun facts" included is the following:

"Vikings used birds to help in nagivating their ships." (emphasis added) (oh, and [sic])

So much for education, but what's particularly ironic about this misspelling is that it's on the back of a box of Alphabits. If any cereal was to know how to spell, you'd think it'd be that one.
