“We came up with this because originally, Michael and I, every time we came down or stuff like that, we ate cereal. We love cereal so much, so we decided we were like, ‘oh, let’s use cereal as a perfect food to create the mosaic.’ A cereal box mosaic. And when we decided that, we were like, ‘what are we going to do with the cereal boxes when we’re done with it?’ Then we were like, ‘we should donate it to a charity or something like that.’ So, we decided to donate it to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.”
