Reinstating the Dave Barry quote, since the trope page refers to it (and it is the Trope Namer)..

->''I am curious about the expression, "Part of this complete breakfast." The way it comes up is, my 5-year-old will be watching TV cartoon shows in the morning, and they'll show a commercial for a children's compressed breakfast compound such as "Froot Loops" or "Lucky Charms", and they always show it sitting on a table next to a some actual food such as eggs, and the announcer always says: "Part of this complete breakfast." Don't they really mean, [[TropeNamer "Adjacent to this complete breakfast]]", or "On the same table as this complete breakfast"? And couldn't they make essentially the same claim if, instead of Froot Loops, they put a can of shaving cream there, or a dead bat?''

They were covered in sprinkles. They looked like the herpes warts of a unicorn.''
