I got three. The first two I found when I let my eyes drift over the picture looking for something “odd”. The third, once I knew what I was looking for, took a bit of searching. The fourth one (from Susan’s answer) was where I expected it (assumed distribution pattern) but I couldn’t find it. Even with SS’s answer, I had to look really hard to see it.
Photography wasn’t crude… They had huge negatives that gave amazing detail.
But yeah, this still looks fake… or at least, costumed and posed, and very much more recently.
For one thing, the scene is way too empty… There are always a lot of people on the street in those days when almost everybody walked everywhere…. And some are usually blurred, because they’re not standing still and posing.
The street is way too clean and smooth. No ruts or horse poop, or all the stuff you see in the street in old photos.
And mostly the people are too clean. Her dress is too freshly ironed and puffy. Doesn’t look like vintage material. Modern sleeves. And it even looks a little sheer near the hem. It should have stiff layers underneath that prevent that.
Plus her hair is completely wrong for the era. Nobody wore bangs like that!
The bicycles aren’t at all blurred, because they’re not moving. Both people have one foot on the ground, carefully posing for the photo.
It may look dopey in a cartoon… But the struggle is real!
I actually did almost the same thing as Claude, years ago, with a giant box of Cheerios.
…
When Costco was newer, their cereal came in one huge box, that held about the same amount as the large 2 pack they sell now.
I pulled the sides of the inner bag apart, and a shower of Cheerios flew into the air, startling me so much my hands jerked upwards, and even more followed.
I called Costco and complained, and a rather tired sounding woman told me I should peel the edges apart from the part that sticks up above the seal, not below…
Which sounded reasonable, till I realized most boxes give you no edge to grab above the seal.
She also sent me coupons for a lot more cereal, but in smaller boxes at other stores, because Costco doesn’t take coupons.
Yeah, they’re unreachable, so then you have to use scissors below the seal. Then you fold the inner bag over and use little clips to close it to keep the cereal fresh. We choose the clips with the magnets on them so we can attach them on a steel surface, like the refrigerator. My grandkids love to take the extra clips and fasten them to the hem of my shirt. After feigning ignorance, and then horror at all the clips hanging over me, I sometimes attach them to the back of their shirts between the shoulder blades and watch them spin around back and forth trying to grab them.
When it’s just one person eating a small bowl of Cheerios, it can take days to get to where there’s enough empty bag to fold over or roll.
If I can’t carefully pull the bag open from below the seal, which leaves a little extra length to fold, I have to make sure not to cut very far, so I can just fold over the empty corner.
Good thing I have a degree in cereal bag mechanics.
Take out the bag
Turn it upside-down (that’s where the prize usually hides)
Put it back into the box that way
Get scissors or a sharp knife
Open it
Get the prize
Put the cereal into an air-tight container to prevent pests
Take out your portion of cereal
Yes, makes sense… I actually eat two kinds mixed together, and do use a large container for the mixture.
But Costco boxes are so big, I have to keep the remainder of each kind in the original package, or find containers that hold over a gallon.
There’s about 4½ liters left in each each box, after filling the container!
…
A huge amount, but I buy it that way because it’s far more affordable than the smaller, overpriced boxes at the grocery store.
Clever to turn it over, but of course, I haven’t actually seen a prize in a box of cereal since I was a kid, when my mother would occasionally let us have sugary ones.
“Crummy Buttons” must be one that you and I wouldn’t eat😁

Whee!!!!

Yes please.
Did you take me up on that challenge?
Yes! Do!
That Would be fun. 🙂
uh, yep!
Cool!
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for just one of those hamburgers today if you can pry it away from Jughead.
find four caterpillars
Kinda tricky little guys but
I think one is a bit harder to find than the other three.
I got three. The first two I found when I let my eyes drift over the picture looking for something “odd”. The third, once I knew what I was looking for, took a bit of searching.

I finally got the other two.
Yes. One was tough!
This one is harder but i still got two!
I’ll be back to look again before looking at Susans spoiler.
Got the four, three were fairly easy once I’d spotted the first, but the last one was trickier.
Pick up a bottle today!
And here’s the episode
not sure if this is a reenactment or the real deal
doesn’t look like the crude photography back them

It may have been taken at Greenfield Village where the shop was moved in 1936.

The rest of the scene looks fake, but the flying boat looks totally believable.
Riiiiiggggghhhhttttt.

“He did it!”
Funny we all had a different take on it.
To me, she’s saying “Not if you were the last penguin on earth!”
Ta Daaaa! And now, for my next trick….
“I said, “Good Day!” Sir!!”
Nothing to see here…
“Squawk to the hand.”
“Psst! Want to hear a secret?”
Darned fence is in the way!

I kinda wondered how they felt about that.

It’s a complicated project.

Use several small containers then.
My kitchen is way too tiny for multiple containers of each kind of cereal!
The thing about the boxes is they’re tall, skinny, and rectangular…. space efficient.
I roll down the inner bag and clip it.
Next time there’s little enough left to empty into a gallon ziplock bag, which I put back inside the box.
Works.
Who doesn’t love Crummy Buttons?
