A Belgian man, Philippe Meert , used to have difficulty getting all his cereal in the bowl in the mornings. Like many people, he would simply open the box and rip open a portion of the cereal bag within, causing it to spill out the sides of the box and onto the table as he poured. It's hard to say whether residual sleepiness or sloppy box-opening was the main problem, but Meert wanted something that would make pouring easy (and accurate) for even the laziest breakfaster.
In 2004, Meert came out with a product called the Cerealtop, a plastic pouring spout that is designed to clamp onto a cereal box top and make pours easy-to-control. It adjusts to fit any box size and simply snaps onto the open box. Cerealtop is available online from Europe for about $6, but will be hitting the US market this fall for $3.95.
