Do you remember? I was in the supermarket with my mother and I was like, \u2018Hold up, hold up. Hold everything \u2014 what the hell is that? Fruit-filled frosted rectangles in a box and the food is in shape of the box! What is this?<\/p>\n<p>You open the box and they\u2019re not even in there. They\u2019re in packets, remember the packets? Lined with some kind of metallic alloy from NASA to protect them from gamma rays and Russian satellites. They might shoot at your brown sugar cinnamon so you have to protect them. When you open the packet, how many are in the packet? Two. Why two? One\u2019s not enough; three is too many \u2014 that\u2019s why. It was perfect. Perfect vision of the future from Kellogg\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In an extensive 2012 interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/12\/23\/magazine\/jerry-seinfeld-intends-to-die-standing-up.html\">New York Times<\/a>, the richest comedian in the world dissected the joke as an illustration of his process and style, saying, \u201cTo waste this much time on something this stupid, that felt good to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deadline detailed how Netflix beat out other bidders to lock down the movie, which Seinfeld will write, direct, and star in:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p>An auction quietly has been playing out for several days, and Seinfeld\u2019s relationship with Netflix\u2019s Ted Sarandos was helpful in swinging the deal to the streamer. Seinfeld signed a lucrative deal with Netflix in 2017 that brought his interview series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee to Netflix, as well the stand-up specials Jerry Before Seinfeld and 23 Hours to Kill. In addition, Netflix last year made a global deal to stream episodes of Seinfeld for five years, beginning later this year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Seinfeld has complained in the past about how difficult it is for comedians to avoid the woke landmines that bring on cancellation these days. \u201c[Colleges] are so PC,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/article\/2015\/06\/08\/jerry-seinfeld-politically-correct-college-campuses\/\">said<\/a> in 2015.\u201dThey just want to use these words: \u2018That\u2019s racist;\u2019 \u2018That\u2019s sexist;\u2019 \u2018That\u2019s prejudice.\u2019 They don\u2019t know what the hell they\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the man who built a career on \u201csoup nazis\u201d and \u201cman hands\u201d figured if there\u2019s one joke from his past that can\u2019t possibly get him cancelled, it\u2019s Pop Tarts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
