Howard Schultz Wouldn't Know A Box Of Cheerios If It Smacked Him In The Face

By Aliza Worthington — January 30, 2019

Another adorable moment brought to you by the happy couple who paved the way for Donald Jesus Jumpin Jehosephats Trump to steal the White House. Let's just legitimize this next awful billionaire who hates poor people and thinks they don't deserve health care and who thinks it 70% tax rates on those who make more than $100 mil is the height of injustice.

On Morning Joe, Mika came up with a real GOTCHYA for Howard Schultz - the man who thinks we all deserve another four years of Dysentary Don.

MIKA: How much does an 18-ounce box of Cheerios cost? (Ooooo. #journalism)

HOWIE: I don't... I don't... I don't EAT Cheerios...

Suuurrreeeee.

Let's just hop on over to see what the Twitterverse has to say about this.

The right answer: “Honey Nut Cheerios are a bargain at any price” https://t.co/xjs70iOeL8

Who actually eats #Cheerios? There isn't even marshmallows in them. What's wrong with you people...

Mika should have mentioned that an entire box of Cheerios which I feed my kids with for a week costs less than 1 venti latte. #NoShultze2020 #FreeTheBean

The guy who charges you $9 for a Unicorn Frappe:

Mika: How much does a box of Cheerios cost?

Howard Schultz: I dont know

Mika: ?

Schultz: I dont eat Cheerios - I'm sorry

Mika: $4

Joe: I eat Count Chocula

Schultz: Can we talk about nationalizing healthcare?

A quick look at who is coming to his defense is telling...

Dana Loesch - Trump-loving gun prostyletizer and hater of liberals:

Clearly he begins his day with a slice of lemon pound cake and a grande latte. Also this is a dumb “gotcha” ploy to make him seem out of touch. I don’t know how much Cheerios are either because I don’t eat cereal. https://t.co/8QrkgP02jh

Ben Shapiro - Trump-loving Conservative anti-choice Jew who thinks Hitler should have lived:

I buy Cheerios regularly and have no idea, because I just toss the box into the cart and then rack it all up on my credit card. I’d guess I’m not alone. https://t.co/GR4fzTPcx3

To be fair, lots of people of all stripes commented that this was a sh*t question, and that many of them have no clue what a box of Cheerios cost because they simply throw stuff in the cart and budget by the whole amount, and that it's extremely unlikely either Mika or Joe ever themselves bought a box of cereal. I get that, but truly. Schultz is running for PRESIDENT, people. He needs to show he is in touch with the rest of us serfs and commoners, just like Donald Trump did...

Oh. Wait. Never mind.
