Dancing cornflakes will provide endless 鈥渁musement and entertainment鈥 at the
breakfast table, or so reckons Lawrence Glaser of Virginia in WO 99/53776. His

coated with lighter cereal will float in the milk and then sink as the coating
dissolves. Make them the other way round and they鈥檒l sink and then rise. A heavy
and a light flake bonded together will spin, as one side dissolves faster than
the other. Making the lot in multiple colours adds a psychedelic element.
