That teal…that shade of uniquely aquamaritime teal.

It’s not too late to mend your heretical misdoings, Kellogg’s, and to put this color on this product makes my heart snap, my joints pop, and my stomach crackle with rage.

Err, that last one might’ve been the spicy tikka masala, but my vitriol stands. Yes, I’m talking about the original, perfectly poised and turquoised Rice Krispies Treats Cereal box, which is the cornerstone of my (largely intact) theory that all cereals in teal boxes are bound for greatness, or at least cult appeal. Sprinkle Spangles. Cinnabon Cereal. Cinnamon Roll Fillows. And even Toasted Coconut Cheerios now. The only outlier here is Maple Bacon Donuts Cereal and its putridly glazed porkiness, but I choose to willfully ignore it—after all, it was a clear, anarchistic gimmick of a cereal that was likely tailor made to send my pet theories to a farm upstate.

But now that Kellogg’s has forsaken the Rice Krispies Treats Cereal legacy with a mortifyingly mortal sin, even just seeing that hue subliminally irks me ad nauseum. Even if it is on Caramel Snap Crackle Poppers, the newest flavor to join an existing (and admittedly quite tasty) lineup of Vanilla Creme, Chocolatey, and Cookies ‘N’ Creme Snap Crackle Poppers. Since S. C. Poppers are basically itty-bitty Krispies Treats in a far-too-small pouch (would it kill them to sell them by the Snap Crackle Pop-Up Camper-full?), the loss of true blue-green Rice Krispies Treats Cereal stings even deeper.

Regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing just how chewy these caramel-coated Poppers are, and if they can outperform Rolos at the delicate job of indelicately yanking my molars from their gums with quick-drying caramel cement.

But that’s not all the new Rice Krispies Treats news out there: Snap & Crackle are really Popping off with Rice Krispies Treats Dunk’d, which coat two existing Rice Krispies Treats flavors with…two existing sweetened exteriors.

Yes, these are almost definitely going to taste like King Emperor-sized Snap Crackle Poppers, albeit with more flavor inside and a smaller Treats-to-Trappings ratio outside—so it’s ultimately a zero-sum headline. And since undunk’d Cookies ‘N’ Creme Rice Krispies Treats are one of the weakest varietals I’ve ever tried, I wouldn’t put too much stock into the filling here either. Just as Kellogg’s decided to arbitrarily trade an E for an apostrophe, my pre-review opinion on these is largely apath’tic.

Call me when they dunk them in mint macaron sauce.
