    Cereal Box Typo Sends Callers To Adult Line
    Spokeswoman Says New Packaging Ordered

    HALFWAY, Md. -- An Oregon company has ordered new packaging for its Peace Cereal after a typo on the box sent callers to a phone sex line instead of the cereal maker's 800 number.

    Instead of reaching Golden Temple of Oregon, callers were greeted by a recorded voice asking, "Do you love sex? ... Isn't that why you called?"

    Spokeswoman Elissa Brown said Eugene, Ore.-based Golden Temple ordered new packaging when the mistake was discovered in December and new boxes have been shipping out for weeks.

    However, 13 varieties of the cereal were on shelves Wednesday at one Halfway, Md., grocery store, including seven varieties in boxes bearing the incorrect telephone number.

    The PC I bought a about 5 years back came with a misprinted support number on the manual that went to adult number. Came with a big giant red card that said don't call the number. The back of the naual had a sticker over it if Iremeber correctly but it was elsewhere in the manual.
