“Why did the cannibal eat an Olympian every morning?”/“So he could have a breakfast of champions.”

“Breakfast of Champions” has been the slogan of Wheaties cereal from 1933. Menudo (a Mexican soup) has also been called the “breakfast of champions.” To a cannibal, however, “breakfast of champions” might mean something different.

Unless you are a cannibal, and you have eaten Michael Jordan or even Champ Bailey, you’ve not had a Breakfast of Champions.

If I were a cannibal I would attack reigning sports champs, just to use the line, “i wanted a real breakfast of champions”

What is a cannibal’s breakfast of champions? Michael Phelps sunny side up?

As a cannibal, the phrase “breakfast of champions” implies that you ate champions for breakfast

A breakfast of champions means something entirely different to a cannibal.
