It’s been a crazy couple of days for cereal—or at least, products that aren’t primarily cereal.
The chaos broke in appropriately outlandish form, with a photo of 7-11’s new Cap’n Crunch Berry Slurpee hitting Instagram thanks to @junkfoodduo. Now while my first reaction is an only-human revulsion, I remembered that if Cheetos can release a cinnamon sugar corn puff iced beverage I enjoyed, then perhaps the Cap’n can too.
I imagine it has something to do with churned cream corn?
Now before I roadtrip to the nearest 7-11 like a grog-deprived pirate, there are more chilled cereal crossovers to see.
Like a new Cocoa Puff bedazzled frozen yogurt from 16Handles, news courtesy of @markie_devo. I have no idea how wide this chain serves, but I just like the sight of a Cocoa Puff-bearded froyo that manages to come closer than any before to stealing my name.
Finally, @candyhunting discovered Toaster Strudel’s plan to release toastable little rectangles diorama’d with Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Trix.
I’m really surprised the first cereal x toaster pastry hybrid didn’t come from the typically-more-experimental family of Pop-Tarts. But I’m even more surprised that this suggests Cinnamon Toast Crunch may be on an unstoppable chain of delicious guest roles, with a Mickey Mouse-esque aura that may permeate even weirder pumpkin spice-esque areas some day.
Could we see Cinnamon Toast Crunch cat litter?
All in all, this is a terrific chain of events that we can expect to enjoy soon—though with the rate that new cereal products are being released this year, I may be doggy paddling to my fridge through crunchy rings by September.
well… 🤔
im pretty curious about the cap’n crunch slurpee and how they managed to capture the corn cereal taste within a slurpee (i’m sure the berry part wasn’t so hard 😆).
So i’m sure the toaster strudels will be great tasting, i’m not so interested in them… i mean Cinnamon and brown sugar toaster strudels? This is a safe bet. And to be honest here… they won’t change their strudel recipe to taste more like a CTC piece and the filling is most probably your ordinary cinnamon filling. But we’ll see.
The trix strudel… yeah… is it me or does it look like a normal berry strudel? The more i think about it, the more i get curious how Pillsbury tried to get the “TRIX part” into the strudels without them just tasting like normal berry strudels 😆
Looking forward to your reviews Dan! (’cause i’m pretty sure you won’t be able to resist buying them ;))
CHEERS!
