If POST & SCHICK merged and became a kitchenware company, they would sell ___

Answer:

CHOPSTICKS

Hint:

Think of a utensil that combines the first half of one brand with the last half of the other.

Explanation:

The clue plays on combining the names of two brands—POST (as in Post cereal) and SCHICK (the razor company)—to form a new word. When you merge "post" and "Schick," you get "post-Schick," which sounds like "chopstick." The joke is that if these two unrelated brands joined forces as a kitchenware company, their product would logically be chopsticks, blending the words in a punny way.
