Anytime I work with this maze I hear the song Roll On by Alabama in my head. Now I have may have mis-named this maze because I only made the cab and not the trailer of this 18-wheeler semi-truck maze, so technically it is a few wheels short. I may add a trailer and make this a long maze in the future. Either way, it becomes Maze of the Week #196. I seem to be on a red kick with my vehicle mazes lately.

I was shopping for groceries at my local Aldi when I stumbled upon a maze in an unexpected place, on the back of a box of crackers ! Specifically this box of Turtles Baked Extra Cheddar Snack Crackers. So, I did what any normal person would do and took a picture of the maze to share with you. While I have seen mazes on boxes before they have all been on cereal boxes…and suddenly I have the urge to check the backs of all of them to see if there are any more mazes in the grocery store !
And now a few weeks later (Fall 2023) I can confirm there is another maze. This time it was found in a place I would expect - the cereal section with this maze I found on a box of Honey Nut Cheerios ! Another circular maze. When you see the maze, since there is no Start and goal noted - do you try to escape the center or get to the center ? I always like to escape !
And I am back again in Fall of 2025 with a new Cheerios box featuring a kids maze. This flavor will not be around for long.
And in Fall of 2024 we have an update from Honey Nut Cheerios with a new maze type that I love !
And again, now that I have more time I found 2 more mazes at the local Aldi store. The first is a traditional maze on a box of animal crackers.
And the second is one of 3 games on the back of Honey Grahams cereal. We have a traditional maze, a word finder and a connect the dots.
Thank you Aldi for the great mazes (and especially thanks to the designer) ! Have you seen any mazes at your local grocery store ?
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) IMDB
I had originally reviewed the 2010 version of this movie and thought it was excellent (I gave it an 8.5/10). When I saw the new live action version was coming out I wondered if it would have the maze scene included again. Non-spoiler: I am writing a review of the movie here so I can confirm that it does have the maze scene again !
As far as the movie it is the same story you remember and it holds up well in the new format (unlike a certain company doing classic remakes that have not been holding up). The flying scenes feel very Avatar like and the CGI is excellent. I see why this was made for IMAX. Overall this remains a very solid movie I would recommend for all ages. My one complaint is that the original was 98 minutes and this clocks in at almost 2 hours ( officially 125 minutes but the end is full of extensive credits), fine for adults but kids might struggle with the extra time.
