When small children drop cheerios all over the floor and an adult later steps on one. Instead of exploding like a landmind, you hear a crunch and the cheerio turns to a fine powder that is almost impossible to clean up without a vacuum.

Heather: "Anna please eat your cheerios in the chair!!!"

Anna: "OK Mommy!" (Running off with cheerios in hand to see what is outside leaving a trail of cheerios.)

Tom: (Wakes from sleep, another long night of taking care of the screaming kids) "Oh I am so tired.." CRUNCH "Oh damn it, I just stepped on a cheerio landmine. Get the vacuum!!! ANNNNAAAAA!!!!!!"

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
