  • Quote: “That’s the flavor of bitterness and defeat. Trust me, you’ll get used to the taste. But that won’t make it any easier to swallow.” – Bob Kevoian (03:02)
  • Tagline: “Now that your divorce is complete, what are you gonna eat? You need a bowl of Alimony O... The cereal’s so good, you’ll want the whole bowl but you’ll be lucky to get even half.” (04:31)
