By putting the Froot Loops name on a new fruit snacks product, as well as the friendly visage of Toucan Sam himself, Kellogg’s better be ready for comparisons to be drawn between the snacks and Froot Loops cereal itself (after all, that’s the only reason we’re featuring these!).
Even more important, though, is that Froot Loops Letters are also going to be compared to Kellogg’s other fruit snacks. Oh yeah, you know which ones I mean. Continue reading →
Gabe Fonseca is a friend of Cerealously and a fellow connoisseur of cereals new and old. You may even recognize his passion for the topic from his legendary cereal box wall project (have you ever seen something so beautiful?).
We’d love to share with you the latest in Gabe’s ongoing YouTube series detailing cereal favorites from across the expanse of time. These Cereal Time videos are a heaping bowlful of history, nostalgia, humor, and, of course, a lot of sweet, delicious sugar.
This week’s video is a real “treat” for fans of hard-to-find cereals. If you enjoy it, be sure to watch Gabe’s other videos, and give him a follow on Twitter, as well.
So pour yourself some Rice Krispies, grab a cozy blanket, and stay awhile. Because once you Snap, Crackle, and Pop, you won’t be able to stop.
(UPDATE 9/15: My review of Cheerios Plus is live! Click here to read it!)
In a recent new product announcement from Cookie Crisp kingpins General Mills, one of the many showcased munchies was Cheerios Plus. Somehow, this idea managed to beat out our own concept for new Cheerios, “Cheerios Minus,” which would just be an empty box that grimly symbolizes the futile nature of our nihilistic reality.
Though it’s, sadly, a Canada exclusive, Cheerios Plus appears to be similar to America’s Cheerios Protein, pitching health-consciousness via buzzwords (but, of course, not as many buzzwords as Honey Nut Cheerios. Okay, even I wasn’t proud of that one).
However, it differs from Cheerios Protein in that it comes in a lean, plastic bag. I guess cardboard boxes just don’t flatter the natural curves of oat based cereals.
Cheerios Plus comes in Cinnamon Coconut and Honey Almond flavors, but since it’s only available to our northern neighbors, perhaps we can one day hope for a Canadian Bacon flavor.
If you’re from Canada, have you tried these? What’s the verdict?
If you’re from America, would you love to see this cereal cross the border? Why or why not?
We crave your feedback more than double chocolate Krave, so let us know in the comments below!
Ever since Sir Lancelot first used his spear to skewer a medieval marshmallow over a fire (note to self: edit Wikipedia later to make this seem true), this same horrific joke has come to ruin countless summer bonfires like a punny plague, all because of that one guy who always thinks this joke is so funny. You know the one: smug grin, weird cutoff jean shorts, and everyone kinda wonders who even invited him.
What would Tony the Tiger say about the new Frosted Flakes with Energy Clusters from Kellogg’s? And I mean the real, Thurl Ravenscroft-voiced Tony the Tiger, not the meme-spouting CGI self-parody he has become. My guess is something along the lines of:
“They’re GRRRRanulated indictments of the 21st century zeitgeist’s perplexing infatuation with ‘health-ifying’ every facet of their day, despite the tendency of producers to use puffery and buzzwords to beguile and mislead!”
Or maybe he’d just say they’re great. Tomato, to-mah-toe, right? Continue reading →
“Toasted Oatmeal Flakes? That sounds like the kind of boring cereal that’s been sitting in the back of my grandma’s pantry since the Great Depression forced people to hand-toast their oatmeal. I almost fell asleep halfway through reading the word OatmZzzZz…”
But your weirdly specific thought would be wrong. Because these are good. So good that, somewhere in the ghostly beyond, the Quaker Oats guy is shaking his fist and bellowing:
As part of our corn and oat-based commitment to providing the latest and best in cereal news and reviews, Cerealously is seeking reader input!
Since we can’t be everywhere all of the time (or can we? Seriously, if you know a good omnipresence guy, hit me up with his phone number), we’re gonna rely on you(yes, that means you) to fill in our blindspots. And that means more than just spotting us when backing into a parking spot.
If you’re out shopping and see a cereal that is cool, new, or a combination of both (new-l?), don’t hesitate to snap a photo and send it to us. If we haven’t covered it yet, it may appear on the site (along with photo credit, of course) in one of our cereal news posts.
Additionally, if you have a favorite cereal, whether it’s new, classic, or even one you invented in your kitchen by mixing Crunchberries, Scooby-Doo fruit snacks, and orange soda (new from Nickelodeon: it’s Kenan & Kel cereal!) that you want reviewed for the site, send us that suggestion, too! We’d be more than happy to share in your favorite breakfast memories.
If you’re up to the challenge, just click on the big ol’ picture of Golden Grahams in this post (click, don’t lick; that’s one mistake that’s hard to explain to the repair guy at Best Buy). Or you can use the “Submit” link at the top of the site to send us something any time.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I think it’s breakfast time (a.k.a. all the time).
