I saw this press release, and I had to warn some people:

"In specially marked boxes of participating Kellogg'sŪ products, consumers can receive even more fun Spidey stuff, such as four different collectible glow-in-the-dark stickers sets, temporary tattoos and a Spider-Man water squirter wristband. Fans will feel like a real hero with their own Spider-Man water squirter wristband, available for a limited time in 25 million specially marked Kellogg'sŪ products. The water squirter features a wristband and shoots a water stream up to five feet by squeezing on the web- shaped palm-held water reservoir, just like Spider-Man's web."

WELL, IT MAY SOUND LIKE FUN, BUT AT WHAT COST!!!
According to John Money, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was ardently opposed to self-pleasuring, and urged parents to be wary of the signs their children were indulging in the secret vice.
Kellogg was also concerned with dietary health, and urged people to eat more cereals & nuts, and less meat to reduce sexual desire.
Thus were Kellogg's cornflakes invented "...as anti-masturbation food" (Money, 1986, p. 186).

Sure, you can squirt water up to five feet with one of those things, but you can't squirt...
