Black Mirror Bandersnatch cereal memes

With Black Mirror’s latest release, the “film event” called Bandersnatch, Netflix relinquishes some control to its audience. Bandersnatch is one of the streaming giant’s first runs at choose-your-own-adventure programming, and less than 24 hours into its release, the power is already creating chaos. 

Fans first shared a variety of memes poking fun at all the difficult and thrilling decisions they might have to make for the characters, but the most pressing decision on everyone's mind is not a life-or-death scenario. Instead it's more of your typical existential crisis: what cereal should you pick for breakfast?

MORNING. Some things you need to know:

– Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is now streaming
– it's separate to the main series, so make sure you search for "bandersnatch"
– it's INTERACTIVE
– it forces you to have strong opinions about cereal

Now a flurry of memes pondering this gut-wrenching question have proliferated on Twitter. What’ll it be folks, Frosties or Sugar Puffs?

It remains to be seen if the cereal you choose has that big of an affect on the overall storyline, but one has to wonder what alternate paths await lead character Stefan. The story, set in 1984, follows the geeky teen who "begins to question reality as he adapts a sprawling fantasy novel into a video game and soon faces a mind-mangling challenge."

Enjoy the cereal panic below.
