Leandra introduced the office to Rice Krispies Treats Cereal
yesterday, it was only a matter of time before we asked the obvious question:
What happens if you make Rice Krispies Treats out of Rice Krispies Treats Cereal? To go even more meta on you guys, that'd be Rice Krispies Treats Cereal Treats. Or simply: RKTCT.
