Just weeks after the Pop-Tarts CEO has died, Kellogg’s has made a massive misstep.

In an interview with CNBC, Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick suggested that poor people eat cereal for dinner to save money. He said, “When we think about our consumer under pressure, there’s things that we can do, but most importantly, what this category can do. The cereal category has always been quite affordable and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure. So, some of the things that we’re doing is first, messaging. You’ve got to reach the consumer where they are, so we’re advertising about ‘cereal for dinner,’” Pilnick said. 

Pilnick claimed that many people are actually already eating cereal during dinner time and that it’s a growing trend among American families. 

J.B. Pritzker may become a roadblock for the White Sox move to the South Loop.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Pritzker said that “taxpayer dollars are precious,” and that he’s choosing to remain cautious as the team begins its push for public financing. He continued by noting that he’s “really reluctant”, but also claimed that he is “rooting for” teams to succeed in business in the state.

The White Sox are locked into a lease at Guaranteed Rate Field through 2028, and have begun the process of designing a ballpark and surrounding amenities at a site in the South Loop known as “The 78.”

Showtime put on a show one last time at the United Center.

On a night in which Chicago came together to remember the career of Chris Chelios, it was Patrick Kane who had people talking by the time people left the building.

The Kane-related festivities began after the first timeout when the Blackhawks played a tear-jerking tribute video on the Jumbotron. It hit us all then just how many great memories we’ve had with Kane over the years.

Then, while the game was 2-2 in OT, Kane found the puck all alone on the breakaway and put one in the back of the net.

The Blackhawks are now 15-39-5 on the season.
