GLOWING CEREAL BOXES

So this is from the beginning of Chapter Twelve, and I know it's a small issue but;

"The following day dawned bright and clear. Pale November sunshine flowed through the kitchen window and extended cheerily over the usual breakfast clutter. Cornflakes boxes glowed, bowls and glasses sparkled..."

I'm sorry but

Cornflakes boxes glowed

Since when do boxes of cereal glow? Cereal boxes are made of cardboard. When the light hits a box of cereal it DOES NOT GLOW. Maybe a light sheen, but glowing?

When I think of something GLOWING, I think of a legit glowing aura around something, you know? Either that, or a person is "glowing" as in they look radiant, but I digress.

Seriously though, is the box of cornflakes possibly possessed right now? Because I'm pretty sure ghosts glow too.

Is it the Source for some guy who was just that into his morning breakfasts? Maybe he died choking on one of those small prizes at the bottom of the cereal boxes.

I know it's silly, but I can't stop thinking about it.

I think it just meant that the sun was hitting the box. I've seen it make a halo on random objects before.

Yes, but just give me this one moment of imagining a Type Two Cereal Ghost angry that his death was so undignified.

Hm.

I think it just might be some form of advertising, what with all the hype about ghosts. ''Yummy cerespects with extra deathly glow!''

I admit, it makes more sense than my overblown cornflakes ghost theory.
Petition to change my username to Ghost Cornflakes for the month of Hallowe'en?
