The don't keep big boxes around to go stale, they give you a nice, sealed, single-sized box. It's not anything new, I've been aware of them for at least 40 years. They used to be my favorite thing when I was a tot - getting to slice open the box, pour in the milk, and not even need a bowl... mmmm, I know what I'm having for lunch!

(If I remember correctly, "Tina's Groove" ran a week-long series of these; barring that, it's a feature that occasionally shows up in the strip.) If I had to make a guess about where the question comes from, it's from the sports stars who appear on Wheaties boxes--the guy wants to know if he can get a picture of his favorite sports star in wallet-size, so he can carry it around in his wallet. But the main thrust of the joke is, basically, "Customers say the darndest things."
