Another possibility: Perhaps one of y'all ended up bringing up the topic of cereals (and those cereals in specific) because of a new ad campaign one of y'all saw.
You hadn't seen it yet, but lo and behold, you did later.
I'm not native so sorry for the weird question, but is "y'all" a common idiom? It sounds weird, is it something I could use or does it imply something particular?
this is becoming common in the rest of the US as well because of the lack of second person plural. they call it y'all sprawl. I hear it frequently here in Chicago.
y'all is a common idiom in the southeastern US as well as Texas. It is a contraction of 'you all' and can mean an individual or one or more members of a group.
all y'all by comparison is generally agreed to mean everyone in the group and can be a replacement for the phrase every last one of you
