In all seriousness, this is the weirdest name I have ever encountered for a food product. In case the slight blurriness of the photograph is causing reading difficulty, this cereal is called "Good Friends."
POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS:
1) This is a cereal for cannibals. "Hey Petra, let's eat some 'Good Friends.' I hear if you mix in some bananas and milk, it goes down pretty easily."
2) This is the cereal you should only eat with your good friends. It would be so awkward to eat this with someone you aren't friends with, right? You would both be silently munching as you stare at the box, thinking about how your friendship with the person sitting next to you is NOTHING LIKE the sunny, beautiful, awesome friendship the two cover models have got going on.
3) This is the cereal to eat with the person you are having an affair with. Because, c'mon now, those two are totally banging, right? Look at those smiles! You know woman on the left got home from the cereal box cover shoot and was like "Hey, Harold" in this really quiet voice as she filed through the mail. Harold looked up and said, "How was the shoot?" "Oh, it was fine," she replied. "And how was Maxwell?" "WE'RE JUST GOOD FRIENDS, HAROLD! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT!?" she bellowed, before storming out of the living room into her bedroom and slamming the door.

Given that this cereal is clearly marketed to 60+ y/o's ("HIGH FIBER CEREAL") I think they are going for this forth possible reading of the title:
"We used to have sex all the time - but now I'm impotent!"
"And I'm dry and crusty as the Sahara!"
"So now we're just--"
"Good Friends!"
"Good Friends!"
I think people of all ages can benefit from a high-fiber diet.
But Kashi tastes like crap.
very creative names...
This cereal was featured on the Today show this morning in a spot about raising metabolism. It made me think of your blog and I smiled. A very rare Monday morning after Daylight Savings Time takes effect kind of smile. Thank you for helping me pass the time at work.
back in high school my friends and i decided kashi was just an overbearingly ambiguous cereal. "good friends" makes no sense, and also if you look at the pairings of the happy people on the boxes, rarely can you tell their ethnicity, age, or sometimes even gender. it's kind of frightening.
