Item #: SCP

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: As the object cannot move while within its original box, no extra containment is needed other than a low-security locker. As of ██ █████████, 20██, it is to be stored in a lockbox in a high-security locker, with video surveillance to prevent accidental confusion with cereal stored at site-██ break room.

Description: It is a box of █████ ███████ brand cereal, containing cereal that doesn’t resemble any types made by the company. As long as it’s stored inside it’s original box, displays no unusual properties. Once more than 100 grams of it are poured into a bowl of any size, it’s anomalous properties will manifest. The cereal will take on the shape of whatever the nearest person’s favorite food is.¹ It will then attempt to entice the person to eat it, although they not induce any extra compulsion to. Once eaten, they will attach to the stomach lining, causing mild discomfort and swelling, since it will not go through the digestive tract. They will eventually start to multiply, much like cells, and excrete a hard, cardboard-like substance around themselves, and will slowly drain the host body of nutrients. The production of this will stop if the stomach lining is torn, but in ██ of cases [DATA REDACTED] happens. Currently, only one box of this cereal has been found, but others could exist.
