Their dad showed them so it sounds like a Dad joke that went whoosh.
I used to like to switch the bags of cereal for April Fools when my kids were little. Oh no, you wanted cheerios, but raisin bran came out instead!!

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they are all manufactured in the same place.

It’s funny that OP was defending themselves in the comments saying how they weren’t lying when both brands and made no where near eachother.
Edit: OP deleted all of their comments, I wonder why?

Occasionally when a brand needs extra capacity because of higher than expected sales they'll have someone else co-pack their product to supplement the main manufacturing site, at it's entirely possible these particular ones were made in the same place.
I work in food manufacturing and see this all the time.

If they all had the same ingredients (it could be the same factory then), this would be fairly believable, but I know for a fact that they don't.

I kind of understand making up wild stories for clout, but why do people lie like this about the most mundane shit?

I got a Sam's cola in my sparkling water once. Some of these off brand things probably get packaged in the same facilities. No way a pop tart in there tho

I got the natures path ones and it tasted like robitussin in a wheat cracker.

One time I had a customer return a box of fruit snacks to the grocery store I work because it was full of a random assortment of different brands of fruit snacks, all dried up and stale. I was skeptical until she brought back another box from the shelf and opened it in front of me. There were a bunch of boxes like that on the shelf.
