@antinous: Boring. Besides, it's brown rice. And bananas don't have a low GI.

Ooh, I was wondering about the super-low-GI version - I'm Irish, sugar makes me fat. (Not that I'm not already, but....)

I'm not sure where I'd get puffed brown rice; I think Puffed Kashi would be an okay substitute, though. It seems like the only time I've actually enjoyed Puffed Kashi is when it's part of a krispy treat or no-bake cookie.

Eh. Most of the non-finalists fall into one of three categories:

1. Rip-offs of the nuclear hazard symbol
2. Rip-offs of the biohazard symbol
3. Too damn intricate to replicate cheaply, easily, and in a variety of sizes.

And even some of the finalists fall into the above three categories. I've got to agree with Sardion2000 that Foreman's is probably the best of the lot. Hell, if we're going to develop a new technology, we should probably create the warning sign sooner rather than later.
