- [Review: Cap'n Crunch's Mystery Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-capn-crunchs-mystery-crunch-cereal/) - I love a good mystery. Whether it’s the classic question of “Where’s my phone?”, the recurring riddle of “What should I have for dinner?”, or the timeless whodunnit that asks, “Which of my cats got into my cottage cheese?” (gee, I wonder...), I love being the Holmes, Columbo, and Great Mouse of my own life.
- [Re-Review: Cracklin' Oat Bran](https://www.cerealously.net/re-review-cracklin-oat-bran/) - Today, July 5th, 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of Cerealously dot net. It's been a long, strange journey from the high school bathroom stall where I, while scrolling The Impulsive Buy, first had the idea to create my own food blog — albeit one with a hyper-specific niche I felt I could truly own. And
- [Review: Totino's Pizza-Flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/review-totinos-pizza-flavored-cinnamon-toast-crunch/) - Well, that's one way to get me excited about a new cereal again. Yes, as I sat cloistered in my insular cereal study — a Luddite protesting the breakfast aisle's newfangled dud bites whilst clinging to his oldfangled Honey Nut Cheerios and Raisin Brans — I felt confident that my crunchy comfort zone would remain
- [Oreo Puffs Review: Or, Why It's Hard to Care About New Cereal Any More](https://www.cerealously.net/oreo-puffs-review-or-why-its-hard-to-care-about-new-cereal-any-more/) - I hate Oreo Puffs. Not because they taste bad, mind you—they're perfectly serviceable as a milquetoast little cookies & cream cereal that tastes more or less exactly like Oreo O's. No, I hate Oreo Puffs because they perfectly encapsulate the ongoing creative decline of the cereal industry. I'm sure most people would agree that cereal
- [Review: Pop-Tarts Giant Party Pastry!](https://www.cerealously.net/review-pop-tarts-giant-party-pastry/) - This is big. Very, literally, and very literally big. But it’s also one of a precious small number. Yes, this rectangular beast is one of only 45 Pop-Tarts “Party Pastries” ever made, and I never expected to actually get one. Like with most hyper-limited-edition breakfast grails, I expected bots and scalpers to scoop up all
- [Review: Salted Caramel Honey Bunches of Oats](https://www.cerealously.net/review-salted-caramel-honey-bunches-of-oats/) - I’ve got a fresh theory for you. Pull up a chair, imagine me seated backwards in one, and tell me what you think of this: See, I’ve been thinking. With 9(!) years of cereal journalism quite literally under my belt, what am I even looking for from the cereal industry any more? While I still
- [Review: Fruity Pebbles Waffles! Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-fruity-pebbles-waffles-cereal/) - “This feels like stolen valor.” That was my first thought upon trying Post’s new Fruity Pebbles Waffles! (a cereal that must be spoken about with eternal enthusiasm, because the exclamation point is very much a part of its name). See, Fruity Pebbles Waffles! (:D) has the exact same existential issue that CinnaGraham Toast Crunch does.
- [Review: Ghost Protein Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/review-ghost-protein-cereals/) - Even more than the literal likes of “Waffle Crisp,” “Raisin Bran,” and “Honey Bunches of Oats,” Ghost Cereal may be the most aptly named cereal of all time. Why? Because it tastes like the ephemeral phantom of an actual cereal. Okay, I realize that sounds harsh, but you have to (and probably already do) understand
- [Review: General Mills Loaded Cereals (Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, Cocoa Puffs)](https://www.cerealously.net/general-mills-new-loaded-cereals-review-cinnamon-toast-crunch-trix-cocoa-puffs/) - Oh, filled cereals—is there any cereal subgenre with a legacy as troubled as yours? Perhaps it all started with 1993's Hidden Treasures, a high-concept cereal that paired hollow cereal pieces with a trio of fruit-filled ones for breakfasters to serendipitously spoon. Heck, there was even a codex for determining which pieces held which fruit: "Pieces
- [Review: Rhett & Link's Mythical MishMash Cereals: Sweet Mac N' Mello & Peanut Butter N' Honey Sandwich](https://www.cerealously.net/review-rhett-links-mythical-mishmash-cereals-sweet-mac-n-mello-and-peanut-butter-n-honey-sandwich/) - I know what you're thinking: two affable online fellas with a whimsical talk show get their own cereal and it's not me and Justin? Heresy. But hey, as much as I'd love to create an official Empty Bowl Cereal (it would be strawberry-flavored crunchy bowls with yogurt clusters, of course), our niche popularity pales like
- [Review: Gingerbread Toast Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/new-gingerbread-toast-crunch-review-cereal/) - Just when I think I'm out...they pull me back in...like when a bad vaudeville actor gets pulled off stage with a cane...but in this case it's like...a candy...cane... Sorry, since I've been on a posting hiatus, I've forgotten how to smoothly start these things. Much-needed time off aside, I couldn't just not break my break in
- [Review: Malt-O-Meal Summer Cereals (Orange Dreamsicle, Key Lime Pie, & Strawberry Shortcake)](https://www.cerealously.net/malt-o-meal-summer-cereals-orange-dreamsicle-key-lime-pie-strawberry-shortcake-review/) - Okay, okay: that article title is a lie. Or at least, like, 60% a lie. Yes, I'm going to talk about all three of Malt-O-Meal's fruity summer cereal releases, and yes, I know, I'm really late to the game on talking about them. But that's because one of these three cereals is so much better
- [Review: Carmella Creeper + Monster Mash Remix Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/review-carmella-creeper-monster-mash-remix-cereals/) - Is Carmella Creeper good? Yes!! Not only is it my undying delight to see a new Monster grace shelves—the first since 1987's Fruity Yummy Mummy—but to see an actual female cereal mascot for once is refreshing, especially in the sausage fest that is the breakfast aisle. (No, mentally unstable bovines and anthropomorphized marshmallows don't really
- [Review: Maple Brown Sugar Chex](https://www.cerealously.net/review-maple-brown-sugar-chex/) - Dearest Corn, Look, I know I'm probably the last person you want to receive a letter from. In fact, you probably called me a "mother-shucker" and popped a movie-theater-buttered blood vessel just seeing my name on the envelope. But I owe you an apology. Several, actually. I'm sorry for blaming the death of the already
- [Review: ICEE Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-icee-cereal/) - // Partial Transcript of Oral Research Report 526-23, Regarding Specimen [REDACTED], Recovered from the Desk of Arctic Cereal Researcher Dan. G. — Current Whereabouts Unknown // I know not what I've stumbled upon—only that it is insidious. Unnatural. Decidedly not of this earth. Discovered in a remote crater, the particulate creature calls itself "ICEE Cereal,"
- [National Cereal Day News Round-Up](https://www.cerealously.net/national-cereal-day-news-round-up-2/) - Happy National Cereal Day! Y'know, the day that always sneaks up on me because it falls on such an innocuous date that I end up scrambling to write something for it around 7 at night. I wish I could celebrate this National Cereal Day with better news, but you've probably noticed Cerealously posts have been
- [Review: Sweet Dreams Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/review-sweet-dreams-cereals/) - Aw jeez, gotta write quick: I feel like I'm reviewing on a timer here, like an Evangelion unit disconnected from its power supply. If I trail off mid-sentence, you'll know that Sweet Dreams Cereal worked and I fell asle ... ... ... Just kidding, I'm still here and (debatably) lucid. Though my eyes are feeling heavy—but is
- [Counting Down the 5 Best Cereals of 2022!](https://www.cerealously.net/counting-down-the-5-best-cereals-of-2022/) - Woof, what a year: and that's saying something, since I'm a cat person. I'll be honest, this was the hardest end-of-year best-of list I've had to put together since starting this blog in 2015. Sad to say, but 2022 just was not a strong year for new cereals. You know it's bad when two out of my
- [Review: Cheerios Oat Crunch – Berry](https://www.cerealously.net/review-cheerios-oat-crunch-berry/) - Senioritis is real. In my fourth year at the fancy-pants math & science high school I went to—which I mention not as a brag, for it was essentially just a safe haven for nerds who'd get be-swirlied and de-lunch-moneyed otherwise—my annual research group fell so far from our former graces. Where once we studied the
- [News: 3 New Special K Flavors, Coming this January](https://www.cerealously.net/news-3-new-special-k-flavors-coming-this-january/) - Wow, three whole Special K flavors? Hitting stores this January? What a tr—hey, you: wake up! I get it, new Special K news doesn't exactly wow me, either, but that's not excuse to fall asleep in the back of class. This will be on the test, you know. And hey, new Special K cereals aren't
- [News: Cap'n Crunch's Birthday Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/news-capn-crunchs-birthday-crunch/) - Dang, Cap'n: you look good for 60! Wait, actually, this is probably the first time you've actually looked your age, like, ever. You're telling me you were rocking that same ivory 'stache from K–12? Must've made the chocolate milk cartons a nightmare. Anyway, everyone's favorite seafaring cereal mascot will soon be celebrating the 60th anniversary
- [Review: Elf on the Shelf North Pole Snow Creme Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-elf-on-the-shelf-north-pole-snow-creme-cereal/) - Ah, now that Thanksgiving—with all its bountiful feasts, plentiful horns, and wishful bones—is over, it's time to dive into the holiday season with everyone's favorite yuletide tradition. Which one, you ask? Decorating the tree? Crudely icing gingerbread cookies to look like your most cannibalizable loved ones? Or perhaps foisting reindeer antlers on your soon-to-be ho-ho-homicidal
- [News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Stuffed Puffs Marshmallows](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamon-toast-crunch-stuffed-puffs-marshmallows/) - S'more...s'more never changes... Well, that is, until now. Stuffed Puffs is a small company looking to shake up the way you snack, toast, and play Chubby Bunny with marshmallows, via their signature process of cramming stuff into the center of the squishy little niblets. And now via a coveted collab with General Mills, these indie
- [News: General Mills' 2023 New Cereal Lineup](https://www.cerealously.net/news-general-mills-2023-new-cereal-lineup/) - Ugh, every year they just keep moving it up, huh? I mean, the squirrel-munched remnants of Halloween are only just starting to mushify on our nation's porches, yet their noble decomposition is already being overshadowed by all this jolly merriment. It's really the ultimate disrespect to Thanksgiving, if you ask me, to see its stuffing
- [Review: Avatar x Kellogg's Pandora Frosted Flakes](https://www.cerealously.net/review-avatar-x-kelloggs-pandora-frosted-flakes/) - Wow, I can't believe we're finally getting a cereal flavored like my favorite regional Midwest ice cre—wait, what? You're telling me the "Blue Moons" in these Frosted Pandora Flakes have nothing to do with the sorcerously ambiguous berry-marshmallow nectar of my youth? Yeugh. Well fine, I'll still give this Avatar: The Way of Water / Kellogg's collab
- [Review: Franken Berry and Boo Berry Yoplait Yogurts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-franken-berry-and-boo-berry-yoplait-yogurts/) - Oh, Trix Yogurt, how I've missed you. Not in a "physical scarcity" sense, mind you. Trix Yogurt took a 5 year hiatus from shelves around 2016, so yes, for a while, that nostalgic itch was impossible to scratch (unless you were a lunchlady, because you could still order the stuff from General Mills' foodservice catalogue).
- [Review: Kellogg's Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-little-debbie-nutty-buddy-cereal/) - You ever try to turn a great idea you've had into a real drawing, only for it to fall flat? Or maybe you've tried telling someone about a vivid dream, only for the magic to get lost in translation? Or heck, maybe you've simply seen any live-action adaptation of an animated series? What I'm saying
- [Review: Pillsbury Monster Cereal Shape Cookies – Count Chocula & Franken Berry!](https://www.cerealously.net/review-pillsbury-monster-cereal-shape-cookies-count-chocula-franken-berry/) - I’ll just say it: Count Chocula and Franken Berry don’t understand Halloween. Fun-sized Snickers and whimsical apple-Roberting aside, the holiday is supposed to be scary: slashers, head bashers, teeth gnashers and all that heebie-jeebie jazz. Yet this toothsome twosome is hawking us Pillsbury shaped sugar cookie dough that’s safe to eat raw? Where’s the danger?
- [News: Reese's Big Cups with Reese's Puffs](https://www.cerealously.net/news-reeses-big-cups-with-reeses-puffs/) - When it comes to cereal brands, Reese's Puffs is a weird one. Despite the interminable innovation of its forerunning parent candy—and despite the deep potential for flavor infusions like white chocolate, marshmallow, or honey—Reese's Puffs rarely experiences any bombastic feats of gastro-engineering. Just new shapes and....debatably legitimate remote-controlled boats? Well luckily, Big Reese seems to
- [News: Kellogg's Insta-Bowls](https://www.cerealously.net/news-kelloggs-insta-bowls/) - Finally, I can leave my hip flask of 2% at home and enjoy cereal & milk on the go, with just a little H2O! For the better part of the 2010s, a struggling cereal industry seemed convinced that the source of their woes were highly mobile professionals who didn't have time to sit down and
- [Review: CinnaFuego Toast Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/new-cinnafuego-toast-crunch-review-spicy-cereal/) - Well, here I stand. On the precipice of hitherto untouched territory, gripping the first-ever spicy cereal with quivering mitts, like I'm Neo about to take my own personal red pill (y'know, before that term was irretrievably tarnished). But will this precipice be a mere waypoint preceding cereal innovation's newest pinnacle? Or the edge of a
- [News: CinnaFuego Toast Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnafuego-toast-crunch/) - "And Big Cereal wept, seeing as they had no more worlds to conquer..." Well, they've finally done it: the big bad breakfast barons have made a spicy cereal. Of course, sweet is a well-covered cereal territory, while salty, sour, and umami have likewise been covered. So with the release of this flamin' hot CinnaFuego Toast Crunch, I
- [News: Another Cereal News Round-Up!](https://www.cerealously.net/news-another-cereal-news-round-up/) - Just as the world keeps spinning, the new cereal world keeps on spooning—whether or not I'm able to keep up with it! Here's a quick look at the big headlines that've cropped up (get it, because...grains?) these past couple weeks. First up we have the obvious headliner above. For awhile, I've wondered whether Little Debbie
- [News: Frute Brute's 2022 Return](https://www.cerealously.net/news-frute-brutes-2022-return/) - Are you hungry like the wolf yet? No? Well you'd better start huffing, puffing, and ruining some porcine architecture, because by the time this Halloween rolls around, our dearly departed Monster Cereal Frute Brute will be back on shelves with a cherry-flavored vengeance. Not counting his half-hearted marbit cameo in last year's Monster Mash Cereal,
- [Bite-Sized Reviews: DC's Strong Berry Cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rolls, and Bath & Body Works Rainbow Cereal Soap](https://www.cerealously.net/bite-sized-reviews-cereal-soap-strong-berry-cinnamon-toast-crunch-rolls/) - https://twitter.com/cerealouslynet/status/1546601008532525058 *Jean-Ralphio voice* I'm the woooorst! Folks, I'll admit: between my day job, other writing projects, and the *gestures vaguely at everything*, I still haven't really been feeling the long-form blogging bug for the past couple months. But that doesn't mean I've been slouching on new cereal news and taste tests. On both The Empty
- [News: Apple Jacks Nickelodeon Green Slime Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/news-apple-jacks-nickelodeon-green-slime-cereal/) - What could be more patriotic than saluting a bowl of emerald ooze? Grilling a T(urquoise)-bone steak with seafoaming juices? Squelching the last chartreuse dregs of Shrek-edition Heinz EZ Squirt on a peridot dog? However you celebrate, I hope your Independence Day doesn't end without a heartily viscous display of slime, sludge, or otherwise slurry. Sorry
- [Review: Honey Vanilla Cheerios](https://www.cerealously.net/review-honey-vanilla-cheerios/) - Ever wonder what a plain ol' butter & jelly sandwich might taste like? What about simply sour chicken, an unadorned upside-down cake, or a pizza topped only with...pepper? Yeah, me either. But that's the Honey Vanilla Cheerios experience: like eating something extremely familiar, but without one of the signature, accenting somethings that define the dish.
- [Quick Review: Cookie Crisp Oatmeal](https://www.cerealously.net/quick-review-cookie-crisp-oatmeal/) - There are a couple of good (read: mostly lazy) reasons why I don't review oatmeal on this blog too often. 1. It's always so hot that I have trouble photographing it without steaming up my camera lens. 2. Oatmeal is such an ugly foodstuff that I have trouble photographing it without emphasizing just how ugly
- [Review: Trix Trax](https://www.cerealously.net/review-trix-trax/) - Name: 10/10, would attempt to utter ten times tongue-twistingly fast in a public space, resulting in prompt institutionalization. Box design: 10/10, love to imagine a world where a cartoon rabbit and a photorealistic Tyrannosaurus get into all kinds of Road Runner-y hijinks—and where said cereal-swiping Rabbit, with his forward-facing eyes, is no longer the alpha
- [Quick Review: Banana Caramel Cheerios](https://www.cerealously.net/quick-review-banana-caramel-cheerios/) - Banana Caramel Cheerios? More like, Caramel Banana Cheerios! That's it. That's the whole review. Go on, you've got like, Neopets to feed, right? ... Okay fine, I'll elaborate. Describing caramel cereals is hard for me, because I feel I lack both the vocabulary and gastronomy experience necessary to adequately articulate what makes a good caramel,
- [Review: Strawberry Milkshake Frosted Flakes & Cinnamon French Toast Frosted Flakes](https://www.cerealously.net/review-strawberry-milkshake-frosted-flakes-cinnamon-french-toast-frosted-flakes/) - Note: though Chocolate is included in this lineup of new boxes, I won't be reviewing it here, since it's unchanged. You can find my original review here. Tony, my man. Can I call you Tony Baloney? No? How about Riga-Tony? Tonyboy? Tony Island Mile-High Chili Dogs? Alright, fine, let's just get down to business...Anthony. Fact of
- [Review: General Mills Filled Bites (Prototypes?)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-general-mills-filled-bites-prototypes/) - Allow me to preface this review with the disclaimer that I honestly have no idea if these Filled Bites will ever hit mainstream shelves. I first heard about these two cereals via the insider tip of a Hy-Vee worker at a Minneapolis location often used as a General Mills new product test store. Then I
- [Another Cereal News Round-Up!](https://www.cerealously.net/another-cereal-news-round-up/) - Hi there, it's your favorite terminally inconsistent cereal blogger here with a quick look at all the latest and crunchiest cereal headlines from the past week or so. First up we have limited-edition Star Wars Frosted Flakes, releasing this July to commemorate the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series releasing later this month. The actual constituent concept behind these
- [Cereal News Round-Up!](https://www.cerealously.net/cereal-news-round-up-2/) - We have a favorite saying over at The Empty Bowl podcast—when it grains, it pours. Which is just a cheeky way of saying that after long bouts of little new cereal news, the milky floodgates tend to open all at once, and my ever-slowing bloggin' fingers have especially struggled to keep up lately. So instead of
- [News: Tropicana Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/news-tropicana-crunch-cereal/) - Look, I know I'm a little behind on posting all the latest cereal news to come out of the last week—and I'll get to it, don't worry—but I think you'll forgive me for jumping the queue here: because this is a code orange, folks. Long squeeze short, on May 4th, Tropicana is releasing Tropicana Crunch—the first
- [Review: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Creamy Cinnamon Spread](https://www.cerealously.net/review-cinnamon-toast-crunch-creamy-cinnamon-spread/) - There are some things it feels like you just can't do on supermarket shelves, even if there's no explicit rule against it. You can't put a cute mascot shaped like a carton of milk on a box of bleach. Or at least I imagine you probably can't. You can't say your plastic bottle is made
- [News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rolls Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamon-toast-crunch-rolls-cereal/) - Alright, I think we've heard about enough from the Cinnamon Toast Crunch folks. They've clearly stopped trying. Granted, it's probably our collective fault for still buying these "new" cereals, but am I the only one who's getting a little sick of seeing the same Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor basted onto some newfangled breakfast geometry? Cinnamon
- [Review: Sonic the Hedgehog Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-sonic-the-hedgehog-cereal/) - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 might just be the best video game movie ever. Sonic the Hedgehog Cereal, meanwhile, is a country mile from being the best video game cereal (my top 3 would be OG Pokémon Cereal, Nintendo Cereal System, and, surprisingly, Minecraft Creeper Crunch). Just what went wrong with the Blue Blur's big-box breakfast
- [News: Froot Loops Waffles Return](https://www.cerealously.net/news-froot-loops-waffles-return/) - Ahh, I understand now why they changed the Toucan Sam's design from a weird man-fingered abomination back to a logically feathered fella. Because if Sam still had fingers, I could threaten to break them if he's lying to me. See, the official Eggo Facebook page posted about the return of Froot Loops Waffles—a cult favorite
- [News: Snickerdoodle Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/news-snickerdoodle-pop-tarts/) - Huh. Okay! Sorry for lacking excitement on this one, but Snickerdoodle Pop-Tarts, debuting this May, just seem...redundant? I mean, what will they be able to do that P-T's deuteragonist Brown Sugar Cinnamon hasn't been doing so iconically for decades? And why do the sprinkles look like petri dish cultures? And why does the snickerdoodle cookie
- [News: General Mills Filled Bites Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/news-general-mills-filled-bites-cereals/) - General Mills has a commitment problem. It seems whenever the cereal behemoth finally gets around to releasing a totally new cereal IP, they end up backtracking and lumping it in with an existing, already well-known cereal family. The highest profile case of this occurred with Tiny Toast, which, at the time, got a lot of
- [News: Three New Frosted Flakes Flavors](https://www.cerealously.net/news-three-new-frosted-flakes-flavors/) - Wow-wee, golly-gee! Changing the color and flavor of milk? You mean the thing every single cereal ever does? Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally excited for these new Frosted Flakes flavors. I just think it’s a little silly that in-milk alchemy is the principle selling point, since unless your cereal is changing the milk an
- [News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Creamy Cinnamon Spread](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamon-toast-crunch-creamy-cinnamon-spread/) - No, no, no: this is all backwards! Ever since the likes of Nutella and Trader Joe's Cookie Butter kicked off a brief "dessert spread" fad like a decade ago, I've yearned for those two spreads in particular to get their own breakfast cereals. And although there was a creamy hazelnut cereal released overseas, it seems
- [Review: Crumbl Cereal Cookies!](https://www.cerealously.net/review-crumbl-cereal-cookies/) - Apologies for the in situ photos—wanted to taste them as close to received temperature as possible. *Sighs* *Chisels sedimentary crust from my eyes* Alright, play the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ2mPfFe24I Even though I'm still something-ing my way through my twenties, I've been making a lot of jokes lately about feeling old, especially the more I realize that
- [Review: Boston Creme Donut Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-boston-creme-donut-pop-tarts/) - Milk Chocolate Graham Choco Graham Pop-Tarts Milkchocolategraham Poptart Wheretofind Why'd they stop making MCG PTs Bring Back Milk Chocolate Graham Pop-Tarts Ope, sorry, I thought this was Google for a second. You see, it's been eight years since Pop-Tarts, for their 50th brand-iversary, brought retro flavor Milk Chocolate Graham back to shelves (it's original release
- [National Cereal Day News Round-Up!](https://www.cerealously.net/national-cereal-day-news-round-up/) - Y'know that scene in The Office where a quietly approaching Angela startles the $#!+ out of Dwight? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x03V4cTXNF4 Yeah, that's basically me and National Cereal Day. Every year, without fail, I forget it's coming until the last minute—I mean, whose bright idea was it to put the holiday on a date as unassuming as March 7th? That's a
- [News: LeBron & Nike's Magic Fruity Pebbles](https://www.cerealously.net/news-lebron-nikes-magic-fruity-pebbles/) - How ironic: this cereal news has turned my brain into scrambled eggs. Seriously, I thought General Mills' recent Cinnamoji Toast Crunch news was so steeped in modern cultural lingo and touchstones that it could be a cognitohazard weaponized by time travelers, but if you showed Pebbles' latest launch to, say, a Bedrock-era caveman, you'd be
- [Review: Pebbles Shake-Ups!](https://www.cerealously.net/review-pebbles-shake-ups/) - What qualifies as a successfully transformative "Shake Up" (let alone one with an exclamation point at the end) in the cereal world? Is it enough to simply "shake together" a bunch of existing cereal bits, or do you need to "shake in" something entirely new? Well we're about to find out, because Pebbles' new pair
- [News: Sonic the Hedgehog Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/news-sonic-the-hedgehog-cereal/) - Finally, finally: a licensed cereal willing to do at least the very bare minimum to relevantly connect its composition to the property it's promoting. I mean, a Sonic the Hedgehog cereal...shaped like golden rings! Not since Buddy the Elf's syrup-slathered slop have we seen such a thoughtful not entirely thoughtless movie cereal. Sure, a cereal based on
- [Review: Eggo Maple Waffle Pop-Tarts & Apple Fritter Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-eggo-maple-waffle-pop-tarts-apple-fritter-pop-tarts/) - Edible trading cards. That's what I've been calling Pop-Tarts for years, and it only feels more accurate the wackier these little pastries get. I mean, think about it: foil wrapping, colorfully zany designs, printed fun, mysteries, and different attack formations (plain, toasted, frozen). What, you're telling me you've never crammed your Blue-Eyes White Dragon in
- [Review: Lucky Charms Marshmallow Pancake Kit (+ Mrs. Butterworth's Fruity Pebbles Syrup!)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-lucky-charms-marshmallow-pancake-kit-mrs-butterworths-fruity-pebbles-syrup/) - I don't know about this, y'all. Between this pancake kit and last week's Cinnamon Toast Crunch Coffee Cake, cereal reviewing rarely requires this much effort from me. See, half the fun of reviewing cereal is that you've just gotta pour a bowl, pour some milk, and dig in. Take some pictures, and then there's only
- [Review: Wendy's Frosty Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-wendys-frosty-cereal/) - See her? That red-haired, doe-eyed dame looking all innocent at the top of this Frosty Cereal? It's her fault. All of it. The turmoil afflicting our world, the sallow tension draped over everything, the insidious doom oozing from every earthly orifice: or The Baconated Blight of Wendy, as I like to collectively call it. You
- [Bite-Sized Reviews: Cinnamon Almond Butter Plentifull & Cinnamon Toast Crunch Coffee Cake Mix](https://www.cerealously.net/bite-sized-reviews-cinnamon-almond-butter-plentifull-cinnamon-toast-crunch-coffee-cake-mix/) - https://twitter.com/cerealouslynet/status/1486077071235465221 Oh, don't mind me—just sharing a few quick reviews that aren't quite rich enough for full blog breakdowns. Be sure to follow me on Twitter for more to-the-minute thoughts like these! https://twitter.com/cerealouslynet/status/1486741523559559170 Oh, and check out the latest upcoming bit of Kelloggian ephemera hitting shelves now— https://twitter.com/cerealouslynet/status/1485689812531269640
- [News: Cinnamoji Toast Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamoji-toast-crunch/) - Woof. I think I've typed the phrase "Toast Crunch" enough times in the past month that my fingers are starting to develop tastefully swirled auburn calluses. Don't get me wrong, I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but I can only stand to see its namesake flavor blasted on so many products in such a short time
- [Review: Strawberry Banana Cheerios](https://www.cerealously.net/review-strawberry-banana-cheerios/) - Cheeri-Oats are the Cheery G.O.A.T.s! There ya go, General Mills: I just wrote you a free catchphrase that uses trendy lingo all today's kids can relate to. What's that you say?

- [News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Lucky Charms MIX](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamon-toast-crunch-lucky-charms-mix/) - Ah, looks like General Mills and I both have the same mindset for 2022: "just f*** it, who cares." I mean, why ideate a new cereal when you can just reroute the pipes in the cereal factory and call it a day? Sorry if I sound bitter, but as a sprightly and imaginative hobby cereal
- [Quick Review: Reese's Puffs Cluster Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/quick-review-reeses-puffs-cluster-crunch/) - Sometimes you just want the movie theater popcorn, with the sextuple pumps of atomic yellow butter that'll leave your palms semi-translucent. Sometimes you just want Chinese food from the place in the rundown strip mall, where the sesame chicken is so oily that the paper takeout container is leaking from every fold. And sometimes (most

Go home—then get in your car and go to the store and buy this cereal! Seriously, you need a review to tell you that CinnaGraham Toast Crunch is good? You'd think it would only take one look at the box above to stoke the very same

I bet when you saw General Mills' lineup of new 2022 cereals hitting shelves this month, you thought I'd spring right for the exciting ones: most likely the golden twinkling CinnaGraham Crunch, or possibly the bold Reese's Puffs Clusters Crunch. But no,
- [News: 2022 Froot Loops](https://www.cerealously.net/news-2022-froot-loops/) - You're on thin ice, Toucan Sam: thin ice! Like I mentioned in yesterday's 2021 "Best Of" countdown, the Kellogg's Strike may be over, but I'm still hesitant to support and outright endorse new Kellogg's releases. While we wait to see how Kellogg's corporate rhetoric and worker treatment evolves over the coming months, I'll still share news

We* here at Cerealously hope your day is merry, bright, oh-so-sweet, and just right. *By "we" I literally mean me and my two cats, whose best approximation of "cereal" is salmon bits suspended in gravy. For such a special day, naturally I've got a special review on deck. This aptly titled "Christmas
- [News: Betty Crocker Cinnadust Desserts](https://www.cerealously.net/news-betty-crocker-cinnadust-desserts/) - Why use one word when four gets the idea across more laboriously? Like, why call it "water" when "cold distilled cloud sauce" sounds so charmingly clunky? Why settle for "walking" when "dual-legged ambulatory self-propelled motion" is right there? And why simply call your dessert "cinnamon" flavored when "Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust" offers so much candy-colored cross-branded opportunity?

Well at least, "AI-generated cereal mixology" is the only rational explanation I can think of for Post's new Pebbles Shake Ups! cereal pouches and the nonsensical menagerie of cereal pieces contained therein. First off, you've got Birthday Cake Pebbles Boulders, which is an edible enigma in its own

Wait a minute, I have a podcast. A family friendly podcast. Aw, [dolphin noises]. Anyway, it seems like I've been sleeping on the Cereal Killer Cafe for a long time—not surprising,
- [The Empty Bowl Episode Sixty + Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch Mini Treats](https://www.cerealously.net/the-empty-bowl-episode-sixty-sugar-cookie-toast-crunch-mini-treats/) - Happy Ho-Ho-Hovember! Not to be confused with Yo-Ho-Hovember (only celebrated in international waters), H-H-H-vember is my go-to name for the late-autumn parts of November that are cannibalized by the coming Christmas season (i.e., every day in November except for like, three). I highly recommend you celebrate with either a) strict defiance and rigid adherence to

Though to be honest, I doubt Halloween minds chilling six feet under with all the skeletons, worms, and cursed alien artifacts. Regardless, I'm not ready to dive into the
- [News: Swiss Miss Cocoa Puffs](https://www.cerealously.net/news-swiss-miss-cocoa-puffs/) - Bullying works! See, when Hot Cocoa Cocoa Puffs debuted way back in 2017, I made fun of the name for being redundant and clumsy to say. Now, the concept of wintery marshmallow'd Cocoa Puffs is back from its four-year embarrassment-induced hibernation, and with a less tongue-twisting name. Sure, "Hot Cocoa" is still the flavor descriptor—despite

It's no secret that I'm a Golden

And now it's time for dessert, so you make Grandma's classic: a fat slice of toasted bread

I mean c'mon, maple is such a good flavor. It's probably in my top 5, with the legendary likes of PB&J and gingerbread. But there have only been two maple-flavored Pop-Tarts, and both came with drawbacks. 2012's Mapley

Your sin is far too great to assuage with a sweet cereal. I know I seem crass, but in my eyes (all full of glistening milky tears of spite), Wendy's is at fault for popularizing the "kooky brand social media" trope that's infected Twitter, Tumblr, and

Get with the times—it's the holiday season already! Which, for some ungodly reason, means we're getting another Elf on the Shelf Cereal. First came Elf on the Shelf Sugar Cookie Cereal in 2019. It was an over-simplistically sugary cereal, far more forgettable than the
- [Review: Krispy Kreme Cereal (Mexico Exclusive)](https://www.cerealously.net/kelloggs-krispy-kreme-cereal-review-donuts-mexico-exclusive/) - Kellogg's new Krispy Kreme Cereal is weird. And I don't say that because it's a Mexico-exclusive cereal—though zany flavors that aren't available stateside are certainly breakfast-aisle oddballs. And I don't call it weird because it comes in such a small box—weighing in at 190g vs your standard issue 280g Froot Loops—though there's a strange, empty

It's taken them a long time, but doughnut companies across the world are finally starting to realize something: huh, cereal rings look a lot like doughnuts, don't they? Of course, there's been no shortage of doughnut-themed cereals. From '80s ancients Dinky Donuts and Powdered Donutz cereals to contemporary

Granted, you can find these new Froot Loops Gummies in 7oz packages (which would be like, upwards of 40 gummies), but all I could find were these trick-or-treat pouches, which

Well, while we were all out funkin' and drunken slam dunkin', Dunkin' Donuts was slunkin'. Smooth as cold brew, they slunk two whole Cereal & Milk Lattes onto their menu without any fervor or fanfare. Even I wouldn't've heard about 'em if not for Stewart M. tweeting at me. https://twitter.com/Moggsster/status/1429876320125820934
- [News: Pebbles Bites](https://www.cerealously.net/news-pebbles-bites/) - Call it a gravel pit, a rockslide, or an earthfall, but there've been so many new Pebbles products this year to celebrate the cereal line's 50th anniversary. Candy bars, bunnies, Crisps and cake mix are only the tip of this kaleidoscopically colorful iceberg. Well, now we can add coated bites of pure decadence to the list, too,

Having bemoaned just yesterday how no show-stopping new cereals in some time, the breakfast gods must've heard my cries. Appearing entirely without warning, fanfare, nor heralding angels, Apple Pie Toast Crunch is apparently hitting shelves. This stuff was found at Albertson's by Chris's Cereal Crusade, and its

Cereal news is metaphorically true to its namesake, after all: it gets you hungry for a new bowl before you've even finished the one you

Our children's children's children will ask us, "wait, Cinnamon Toast Crunch wasn't always a popcorn brand? Fruity Pebbles wasn't always aquarium gravel? And Count Chocula used to make more than just edible abacuses?" And we will sit them on our laps and tell them tales of

And on this day, Mother's Day 2021, General Mills delivered something beautiful into this world. Well, sort of. It's complicated. First off, we've known about the above Monster Mash Cereal—which brings all five iconic Halloween cereal mascots together—for some time now, but it was always shown with
- [Review: Monster Mash Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/monster-mash-cereal-review/) - For fifty years now, the General Mills Monster Cereals have been harbingers of Halloweentime. When they start popping up on shelves around late-August, a vortex of orange and black seems to seems to swirl outwardly around them. July 4th fireworks become Pop Rocks, watermelons become pumpkins, campfire roasters become big plastic devil pitchforks, and you

We might as well call you stalkers (get it?), what with the putting corn in our beloved, formerly oat-based cereals and now cereals in our popped corn. General Mills? More like...Colonel Mills (get it??)! Sorry, I'm just a jealous, oat-loving son of a gun

Gingerbread, PB&J, Waffle Crisp: pretty much the holy trinity of stuff I can't shut up about. But I also love indie cereals. Simply put, I've

First in April, Lil Yachty collabs with Reeses's Puffs to drop an RC boat with a built-in "milkcuzzi"—all of which were shamefully snapped up by scalpers, assuming it wasn't an inside buoy-bob job to begin with. But a dinky toy schooner would never suffice for everyone's favorite seafaring

Because my sheer carnal desire to fangoriously devour more of these rosy rectangular prisms will require a total break from adult responsibility—nay, from reality altogether. Before even getting into it, yes: Fruity Cereal Kit-Kats are really good. I finally found them at Walmart, sold by the phat

No, I'm not asking for your phone digits, height & weight, or preferred prophetic angel number. Rather, what's the most you'd be willing to pay for a new cereal? Depending on where you live, your typical breakfast boxful probably costs around $3-$4, or a little more for a family-sized brick of the

Hot off the cold milk-inspired presses! Sorry, I just think it's really funny that oatmeal, despite being a hot cereal by definition, rarely gets treated like one. Sure, I'm partially to blame, since I rarely review oatmeal despite considering it part of

Yes, hot off the mountain-scaling heels of CLIF Cereal, Golden Grahams is bringing karmic balance to the bar–cereal continuum with a new S'Mores Soft-Baked Bar. It's the same type of treat treatment that Lucky Charms and

Fittingly enough, I'm actually on a bit of a vacation right now, so forgive me if I don't say too much about these new CLIF Cereals and
- [News: Barnes & Noble Cafe Trix & Cocoa Puffs Cookies](https://www.cerealously.net/news-barnes-noble-cafe-trix-cocoa-puffs-cookies/) - They say hunger is the best spice, but I love a mustardy pop of obscurity on whatever I'm eating, too. Whether it's a ultra-limited box art variant, a colorway rarer than a shiny Pokémon, or a very specific natural habitat, weird food only gets more weirdly interesting when you have to scavenge and/or hunt for

Cap'n Crunch's, that is. Sure, Cerealously was inspired by my lifelong love of breakfast cereal, but no other figure encapsulates the imaginative id of cereal culture quite like Cap'n Horatio Magellan Crunch. Maybe it's because—unlike General Mills and
- [News: Cinnamon Corn Flakes](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamon-corn-flakes/) - Oh, alright. : ) Was that your reaction to new Cinnamon Corn Flakes? It was certainly mine. What can I say: there's a reason Corn Flakes doesn't get new flavors very often. Two reasons, honestly. For one thing, if you're like me, you're way more likely to use Corn Flakes to bread something than to

Between the worst Lucky Charms ever, the worst Pop-Tarts ever, and John Oliver's public anti-cereal tirade, I think I speak for all my fellow breakfast lovers when I say we need a little optimism. As such, mournful munchers need look, listen, and chill no further

- [Review: Almond Cheerios Oat Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/review-almond-cheerios-oat-crunch/) - Like buying a gift for the person who has everything, or picking toppings for the bagel that is Everything, it's tough saying much about a cereal line like Cheerios Oat Crunch, whose simple concept and already much-lauded lineage seems to speak for itself. It's got oats, and it's got a whole lot of crunch. What's

For one thing, its name and eye-catching box art alone are sure to make Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch one of this summer's most hyped cereals.

I guess it's hard to guess when I haven't tasted new Mystery Flavor Pop-Tarts, or Mister E. Pop-Tarts, as they're calling them. At least we won't have to wait long, as Mister E. Pop-Tarts are hitting shelves this month. Here's the origin story

They heard our continued cries to restore oat flour to their Monster Cereals (which didn't work), and interpreted it as "people want more cereal-flavored oatmeals!" But hey, I'm not complaining—because it finally

See, Kellogg's first cereal team-up with GLAAD—raising awareness and funds for LGBTQ+ rights—was "All Together Cereal." This infamous Super Smash Bros.

In fact, I once wrote an op-ed about how the Cap'n is one of the last remaining bastions of cereal's '80s & '90s golden era, back when off-the-wall breakfast gimmicks were a dime a chocolate-coated dozen. While other cereal brands were trying to remove artificial ingredients and

There are many dramatic ways—each dastardly and delightful—to bestow chocolatey goodness upon an otherwise indecently nude food morsel. I'll be honest that I didn't really know there was an industry distinction between chocolate-coated and chocolate-dipped flakes, but thanks to this allegedly groundbreaking new variety of Special K, we can be assured

Back then, I was but an innocent student with an X-treme nacho cheese chip on my shoulder—classic college prank, real funny, guys—and this blog was still

- [Review: RXBar Oatmeal (4 Flavors!)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-rxbar-oatmeal-4-flavors/) - I admit it: I'm a fraud. See, I often claim that this is a blog about "cereal, Pop-Tarts, and oatmeal," but I haven't written a word about oatmeal since mid-2018—let alone other hot cereals. Sorry, Cream of Wheat, but I just don't think we're going to work out. There are a couple reasons for my oatmeal abstinence.

Hitting shelves this month, Special K Dipped Chocolatey Almond is Kellogg's first cereal to feature chocolate-dipped—rather than cocoa-baked or dusted—flakes. I can't really recall if I've ever had a cereal with choco-dipped flakes, but every

But what I hear echoing is, "LAWS? NAH!" Put simply, Carvel Crunchies feels like an illegal cereal. A controlled substance. The type of stuff I'd take to have a shamanic desert odyssey. Starting today through April 18th, the first 150 people to place an

From taste to aesthetics, the stuff is just so weird, yet so good, and its flavor defies conventional description like any number of SCPs or extraterrestrial pocket dimensions. Superman

Because with this, Lucky the Leprechaun has become the first Irelander in space. And, for some reason, he leaves his hat on while wearing a space helmet.

That's kind of what Kellogg's upcoming Together with Pride Cereal is like. See, it's a spiritual
- [News: Dippin' Dots Cereal Returns](https://www.cerealously.net/news-dippin-dots-cereal-returns/) - Back by unpopular demand, now in a perennially putrid flavor! Seriously, I'm not trying to be rude, but if you asked me to guess which discontinued cereal would be getting a 2021 reboot, I'd probably die of natural causes before even remembering Dippin' Dots Cereal ever existed. First released in June 2018, DD Cereal came
- [News: Carvel Crunchies Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/news-carvel-crunchies-cereal/) - Ice cream franchise Carvel has always been a nostalgic brand. I mean, Fudgie the Whale and Cookie Puss are basically eternal bastions of the good ol' days. The Batman and Superman of ice cream cakes. The Godzilla and Kong of wistfulness. The Dialga and Palkia of retrospective sentimentality. I could go on. Part of what
- [Review: Peanut Butter Schoolyard Snacks](https://www.cerealously.net/review-peanut-butter-schoolyard-snacks/) - If there've been two themes in my pantry lately, it's pouches and "grown-up" cereals. Between paltry serving sizes and keto fails, these haven't been all that exciting, either. So instead of reciprocally indulging in a mixing bowl of chocolate-syrup-slathered Cosmic Brownie bites—there'll be plenty of time for that later—why not double down with a grown-up

Well, while my world has been turned upside-down like

So for these two new Jumbo Snax varieties, I figured I'd just tweet out my fast & furious thoughts. After all, the amount of time

From Lucky Charms Clusters to a whole cluster of new Pop-Tarts, it's been a big week for breakfast news—almost entirely because Midwest grocer Meijer put up early website listings for them.

Wait, on closer inspection: we've been duped! Bamboozled! Positively smeckledorfed! Let me explain.

However, since it's a new release from a big cereal manufacturer, I likewise feel obligated to give it a try. So while Wonderworks is in a totally different flav-o-sphere than the

I've always loved gummy candy, from gummy worms and blue sharks to Sour Patch Kids, Krabby Patties, and 3-ft gummy boa constrictors. Everything but

With news of two more cereals getting the oversized snack pouch treatment, it seems Kellogg's is going all in with their JUMBO SNAX (yes, the all-caps is mandatory) line.

They're unnatural, uncanny facsimiles of reality that populate my personal hell alongside dolls and ventriloquist dummies—this is all your fault, R.L. Stine! But Muppets? Okay, they're cute and therefore get a pass. In fact, I like to think that every valiant Muppet is the sworn blood enemy of creepy puppets everywhere. Go ahead, try

As a collection-based '90s series that turns kids crazed, it's no surprise that the popping technicolor likes of Pokémon Pop-Tarts and Eggo Waffles were manufactured in droves—and it's even less surprising that these nifty little snacks had huge nostalgic impacts.

Because the longer I write about cereal, the harder it gets for a new cereal to excite me.

That's why it's so impressive how Dunkaroos, a single snack consisting of vanilla cookies and rainbow frosting for dunking, has amassed

You've got fake flavors like green apple that, while not anything like eating a Granny Smith, at least sort of makes sense, as the artificial version still puckers one's lips with hyped-up juiciness. But then you have the candied bananas, strawberries, and blueberries of the world. These

For the overwhelming most part, cereal pieces fall into three categories: puffs, flakes, and squares.

Don't get me wrong, I love just about every fruit—pears can rot in the dry, mealy ground for all I care. But there's something about the perfect pop-ability, late spring–early summer vibes, and shortcake satisfaction of strawberries. It doesn't hurt that artificial strawberry is the best fake fruit flavor,

And that it's mostly just homemade versions that actually add strawberry, because most commercial versions just call it, you know, Strawberry Lemonade? Talk about disappointing. The best thing pink lemonade ever got me was

Seriously, the deluge of new products Post is releasing to commemorate Pebbles' 50th anniversary this year is nothing short of meteoric. Coffee creamer. Candy bars. Bunnies. Even a Birthday Cake Pebbles variety, which is a perfect segue into the Flintstone-fronted cereal's

That is, if your town falls anywhere in the Lone Star State. While they may not be entirely new, H-E-B's distinct and diverse line of "Cerealology" chef-inspired cereals/granolas are certainly

Viper? Wrong. It's the Dame Diminutive Deborah, better known as Little Debbie. Not counting seasonal specialties like Christmas Tree Brownies, Football Brownies, Easter Egg Brownies and every other merrily malformed hunk of brownie batter, Little Debbie currently produces 47 different snacks. I'd guess the average person

Sure, you add milk to it, but some licensed tie-ins of late seem to be cutting out the middle-matter and melting cereal down to a refined, fluid form from the get-go. And International Delight's new Pebbles coffee creamers are no exception. Releasing in both Fruity and Cocoa varieties,

The kind of review that deserves a content warning: this article contains atomically divisive statements, polarizing particles capable of sparking a potential second Cereal Civil War—we all remember the seismic defeat of Quake by Quisp in the Great Quaker Quarrel of '71. Anyway, if you made it through that sentence,

Or to be more secular, the Dialga & Palkia. As two admittedly broad classifiers. Chocolatey & Fruity nevertheless encapsulate the vast majority of non-Honey Nut cereals—we'll call that one Giratina.

Just days ago, I shared news of Frankford's freshly debuted Fruity Pebbles Candy Bar, remarking how Easter 2020's Froot Loops White Chocolate Bunny should've been a Trix Rabbit. Perhaps hearing my pleas and choosing to further spurn them, Frankford already has a Fruity Pebbles

But while the one-note marbits are Lucky Charms' Wonder Bread and butter, the oat bits that complement every 'mallow are just as foundationally

Cereal makers have had six months of quarantine to hunker down, cut through the corporate B.S. and dream up something legendary for the breakfast industry, yet I have to admit, their current efforts feel half-baked—and more than a little stale.

We even heard you like multiple cereals! Well sure, you could buy more than one cereal, but what if you bought one cereal that was two cereals? What's that? You want an exciting two-in-one cereal that represents an iconic flavor combo like PB&J or Banana

On rainy days such as these, when the air is thick with mossy malaise and the rooftop drums in staccato spurts, a chilly lightning bolt of sugary milkiness straight to the gut isn't as satisfying as a deep glug of hot coffee—the kind that blossoms

Exclusive to Costco (in, of course, twin-packed 1-pound boxes), Lucky Charms with only red and yellow balloon marshmallows are the latest collaboration between General Mills

It's anchored to this single, calm second, on a peachy-keen breakfast beach along the milky shores separating last night's dream from this morning's bowl of cereal. To all Empty Bowl

That's why it's taken me so long to write about Banana Special K—this is a cereal brand that debuts new flavors in geological increments. With no fanfare and little variation in box design, trying to spot a new Special K is

Yes, there some Pop-Tarts that can't be easily sorted onto this continuum, but with the exception of fan-flavor-ite Brown Sugar Cinnamon (which really should

With French toast and waffles soaking up the most syrupy cereal attention, the O.G. (Original Griddler) of the breakfast's holy maple trinity has been inexplicably left out. Yeah, there's been that one pancake cereal, but since the likes of French Toast Crunch and Waffle Crisp have already done their namesake foodstuff proper

His defenses only loosely fortified with intergalactic vitamins and

While I'd like to say this is because our meditative cereal podcast has brought me a

Just like Sailor Moon with her disguise pen, cinnamon can be just about anything: the faint infusion grounding Cinnamon Toast Crunch's hyper sweetness. The sinful spear wielded by a Hot Tamale. Or the soon-to-be-regretted cornerstone ingredient in the tempting elixir known as Rumchata (or the

Coming soon from Pillsbury, Funfetti Cereal promises to be 'the fun and only' birthday/vanilla/angel food cake cereal you'll ever need. Just how it will be "bursting with fun" remains unclear, but as Funfetti Cereal's release

I'll be frank, I've never been to a Wienerschnitzel restaurant before, and after a cursory perusal of their website and its liberal use of phrases like "World's Most Wanted Wiener" and "#WienerFam," I'm confident I haven't missed much. But since the nearest one

Yes, I know it has a lot less authentic milk fat, and I know there's

The choco-mallow paste-full thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has an icing mark. Truly, the above product's visage is enough to make any appetite go psycho: I mean, my favorite mainstream cereal (and also the most underrated), Golden Grahams? Paired with its natural complementary flavors and baked

In what initially feels like a redundant regression—imagine, after half a decade enjoying the GameCube, Nintendo dropped the N65—General Mills is bringing Cinnamon Cheerios to shelves as we speak. It sounds like quite the downgrade from Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crunch, but since these Cinnamon

It may be a 9-year old idea, but Cocoa Puffs Brownie Crunch is a cereal I've wanted to see back on shelves for a while now—partly because I've never tried it, but mostly because it appears to be a blessed four-sided union between Cocoa Puffs, Cookie Crisp, Chocolate Cheerios,

Yes, this has been an extradimensionally surreal week for me and millio—err,

Ever since the esteemed Marshelangallow crafted an anatomically accurate, marbled marbit miniature of the Statue of David, sacred cereal marshmallow geometry has only been going downhill. More cereals than ever may be phoning it in with simple, circular or cylindrical white marbits, but with new Tony-Inspired Marshmallows

Worse yet, how many times over the course of the last decade have

For Quaker cereal it's Cap'n Crunch (and maybe Life). General Mills has Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch to do the bulk of its flavor licensing work. Post's are arguably Honey Bunches and Pebbles, which is, itself, a two-faced Janus

Look out, Frosted Honey Bunches of Oats—you've got an usurper approaching your throne of supreme cereal unnecessity. If you thought "Honey Bunches with 66% rather than 33% of its constituent components glazed in sugar" was silly, meet Kellogg's JUMBO SNAX: four

Despite having more time for mindless sugar-munchin' than ever, I'll admit it's been a bit tough for me to focus on bloggerly duties—especially as quarantine's made it difficult to stake out and take in new products from the supermarket. Likewise, I've apparently forgotten to share the debut

A product no one could've imagined. Heck, a product whose name no one but that shell-peddling West Coast Sally could even pronounce. Froot Loops Peeps Pops [repeat x4]. Now, I'm not saying cereal-flavored Peeps are a bad idea—such a thing has been rumored for a good while now.

Well boy, do the makers of Morningstar have a product for you! Despite the threat to inter-oral integrity they

With great care, you hoist it—boy this thing's heavy—out of whatever hidey-ho—oh no. It was full of honey. And now you're slathered in it. And said hidey-hole is

I mean look at him: he's the epitome of glee, teaches kids basic geometry, and I've never even seen him do a Fortnite dance yet! Maybe he belongs beside Mario at the virtual Olympics. All Fry Cook Games aside, Nickelodeon & Kellogg's licensed push

Cheese birthday party—what, you've never been to Buck G. Brie?—is bound to be punctuated by a cake so paradoxically full of empty sweetness and frosted typos, so too is a Pop-Tarts gala destined for the apex of adequacy. Following three successful Pop-Tarts Bites launches that

See, in the entire history of Apple Jacks, there has never been a limited-edition flavor that isn't, well, apple or cinnamon—and marshmallows don't count either. Instead, just about every "new" Apple Jacks variant introduces a new shape—some more sublimely strange than others, but

(Brown Rice Roasted Tea Flakes, Donut Mart & Nissin Bread)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-3-japanese-cereals-brown-rice-roasted-tea-flakes-donut-mart-nissin-bread/) - For being the obvious cereal obsessor that I am, my tongue is pretty poorly travelled. As much as I'd love to keep up with each continent's new and exciting cereals—you should see the kriller stuff those penguins are spooning out—it's hard enough to follow American cereal discourse without drowning in a review backlog of brightly

Such is the philosophy that has plagued cereal sales for the past decade—and for understandable reasons: breakfast as a temporally restricted concept is not what it used to be. For me, entering a workday with belly bloated rarely sounds appealing, especially

Every March 6th, without fail, just before my temple greets its parish of pillows, I will jolt awake with childlike wonder and adultlike anxiety, having suddenly remembered that National Cereal Day is on March 7th, and I've totally forgotten to draft up meaningful content.

Like it or not, it's already clear that blue may very well be the defining color of 2020. I mean, we're *only* 1/6th of the way through the year, and we've already seen: a) Pantone [bafflingly] name "Classic Blue" as their color of the year, b) Cap'n Crunch drip liquefied Na'vi slime onto our

Though of course all food is three-dimensional, especially the well-rounded corn puff, but when it comes to crunchy quadrilaterals, we get a lot of squarish, rectangular, and pillowy things, yet never any perfectionist-pleasing union of six squares. Hence why cereal scholars have been asking for decades: when will breakfast

"No, I'm Kellogg's!" "What's the difference?!" Look, I'm ready for a new SpongeBob Cereal as much as the next square, but this? For a sponge that's already been put through the wringer by staffing changes and ongoing Flanderization, Robert and his late-'90s childhood-defining reputation deserve better. See, Kellogg's "new"

It's got cinnamon sugar swirls in every swig: it's the taste that can seep! Jokes and flossing hedgehogs aside, something's been

"Follow your ears...to transcend earthly spheres!" Or something like that. The point is that, through some unexpected matchmaking between Kellogg's and candymaker Frankford, our world has birthed a warren of White Chocolate Froot Loops Easter Bunnies, each capable of supplementing their big-beaked father's apparent lack of audio-capturing organs.

Is that some fermented barnyard beverage, like a cow-bucha? I mean, it's 2020: we've got more viscous things to pour over our cereal. While many make a New Year's resolution to get thinner, there's a skim-to-none chance that I don't spend the year progressively thickening my breakfast additives. Case in

Though I'd still eat literal puppy chow if it meant getting a Muddy Buddies Cereal. Then there are others that feel fresh

The Biblical parable of the child who carefully picked all the marshmallows out of his

Is it not foolish for one of humankind's creations to claim perfection? Are our works not destined to be beautifully flawed, lest we, in our Icarian hubris, overstep our mortal boundaries in selfish pursuit of godliness?

In my review of last Easter's Peeps Cereal (which I still unseasonably blogged about in January), I noted—as any potential Peeper would—that a brand known for its cute animal shapes probably deserves better than lazy round & white marbits.

I say that because, though the 1.5 century-old stuff made some great friends and memories this year, cereal also pulled some dumb shenanigans—as if it were trying to get hazed into a fraternity of goofy flavoring that it was really never cut out for. Yes, decades from now, when

I'm not saying Hershey picked one of the lamest, most ironically vanilla word for the union of impassioned lips, but plain ol' Hershey's Kisses? Even the white chocolate Hugs light a hotter fire under my stomach. But perhaps it's just my own deep-seated disinterest in purely unadorned and lower-mid quality milk

That would be a pretty silly thing to think, wouldn't it. Very preposterous, even. While you may have to get your LLL (lunch lady license) to
- ["Review:" Honey Nut Cheerios with Happy Heart Shapes](https://www.cerealously.net/review-honey-nut-cheerios-with-happy-heart-shapes/) - Would it be wrong to automatically give this cereal a 1 or 2 out of 10 without trying it? I mean, it's the edible definition of <3. And yet, this review need not include much critical thought at all, as it's more of a news post with photographic evidence. To illustrate Honey Nut Cheerios' heart-healthy

- [News: Pillsbury Lucky Charms Cookie Dough](https://www.cerealously.net/news-pillsbury-lucky-charms-cookie-dough/) - C'mon, Doughboy, stop kneading around the bush and drop your own cereal already. We get it, you got the Trix Rabbit to sign on for a strudel à deux, and you lent your brand to an admittedly cinna-mondo Fillows variety. Now you've stolen Lucky's Charms—probably tucked 'em in your amorphous abdomen and giggled all the

I see no better way to start than by giving Gabe Fonseca's latest generously and genuinely cereal-smithed quartet of Cereal Time breakfast OCs. If you haven't already subscribed to Cereal Time on YouTube, I recommend it. Not only is it

And for the other two, bring back Waffle Crisp and the phrase "how's tricks?" but don't let the Trix Rabbit trademark it. Thanks. Oh, wait, you weren't asking, were you? I wish you would've told me. But while my dreams of a colloquial world seen through amber-tinted glasses may

I just want to talk. "Blueberrific" Pop-Tarts Crisps presented a pretty mild misdemeanor of negligent neologizing. But "Mer-Mazing"? That's a high crime right up there with first-degree mer-der. I mean, I get it: Kellogg's still had enough of the old Blue Raspberry Pop-Tart filling lying around—I

I mean, shouldn't a serving of them just be empty? Can I return them, disgusted that I was served doughnut soil unearthed from the void that I paid for? Or should I just order a doughnut whole and buy a trowel? Whatever, I need another bad

Just don't make a sound. Tiptoe around the maple-scented candles and gather round the Ouija Griddle. Tonight, we're going to try and summon Waffle Crisp from the grave. ... ... Zounds!

For many moons now, Cinnamon Cheerios Oat Crunch has been a sleeper hit amongst wizened breakfasters—in fact, it's tied with Chocolate Peanut Butter for the title of my favorite Cheerio variety currently on shelves. With the kind of crispety crunchiness that could earn a lawsuit from
- [Review: Hostess Twinkies Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-hostess-twinkies-cereal/) - There is a new cereal dichotomy blooming before our very tongues. If it comes to civil war, whose side will you be on? The monolithic masses of the Kellogg's Krusaders, their defenses made impenetrable and especially unpalatable by pounds of cushiony, bland corn 'n' sugar rings? Or the silent-but-growing cabal of crunchily dusted Powdered Paladins,

Coffee 👏 creamer 👏 should have 👏 a built-in 👏 straw. Or at least a strapped-in cereal straw. As my comfort with consuming crude coffee creamer over cereal has only been emboldened by this blog, I'm worried that by the

Is the plight of a Sour Patch Kid—the bouts of malevolence, the brief repentance and hollow appeasement before death—not the same as humankind's? Don't we all go through some tangy and cantankerous times? Don't we all sugarcoat the past and dismiss the future as a death-defined void? Or

And then two months later they drop a cryptic trailer confirming that Mario will be playable this time around? Yeah, that was the kind of anachronistic vibe I got
- [Review: Target's Market Pantry Cereal Bowl Ice Cream](https://www.cerealously.net/review-target-market-pantry-cereal-bowl-ice-cream/) - Cereal and milk have a deep, cosmic soul bond. This is known. Naturally, we've seen enough cereal-infused milkshakes and ice creams to leave us brain-frozen 'til the cows come home. But where's the cerealized justice for other dairy delicacies? Sure, Trix basically defined the cereal–yogurt game so hard that it discouraged all competition and ultimately

Picture this: your fully factorized cheesecake is naught but Crisco and gelatin. Or perhaps you wake up tomorrow, and your mom's chocolate-chip cookies are actually worse than oatmeal raisin in disguise: they taste like unsweetened raisins and uncooked instant oats.
- [News: Magic Spoon Seasonal Cereal Flavors](https://www.cerealously.net/news-magic-spoon-cereal-seasonal-flavors-new/) - The holiday season and healthiness are forever at odds. On one hand, we have Thanksgiving foods like stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and all manner of gravy-glazed paraphernalia. And in the other hand, I have about two-dozen sugar cookies. Look, it's not the holiday season if you aren't double-fisting and and doubling your fitting size. But

I've just returned home in a candy-corned stupor from some manner of haunted manor revelry, only to find a startling scene. My box of Elf on the Shelf Cereal—the exhausting full name of which is Kellogg's The Elf on

Boy do I have a trick and a treat up my sleeve (where it isn't melting; just in my mouth) for you. In fact, the trick is the treat: BOO! I'm not actually reviewing a cereal today! In fact, it's nothing you should eat for breakfast at all—well, except on Halloween, when all servings can
- [Review: Kellogg's All Together Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-all-together-cereal/) - Cereal mixology is a topic close to my heart. Granted, I don't actually mix cereals often—usually when I'm running uncomfortably low on one and/or the other cereal—but the infinite conceptual liberty that comes from architecting palate-impacting pairings that transform a familiar cereal experience into a work of edible interpretive art. And that's before you add

Hard as a quarter-empty 50-pack of Timbits left behind at an executive meeting that was later scavenged and greedily gobbled by me like a feral Pac-Man. As a lifelong Michigander, I'm no stranger to Tim Hortons. In fact, I have a nostalgic, pliable and doughy soft spot for the

For the past three months, "Twinkies Cereal" has been phantasmically dancing atop the tongues of cereal lovers like Twinkie the Kid at whatever spectral square-dance they send brand mascots to to purgatorily pass time in between discontinuations. Sure, we've seen

Yes, Kellogg's keeps releasing boring cereals. They're either fake-fruity

Are you a mercenary now? A contract cereal killer? Blink twice if you're embroiled too deep in a dark web conspiracy. Look, I've already whined about and refused to further dine on Kellogg's generic sugar loop cereal epidemic, but these three upcoming Kellogg's releases suggest there's a bigger problem: (sugar) cookie cutter partnerships.
- [Coming Soon: Three New Rice Krispies Treats!](https://www.cerealously.net/coming-soon-three-new-rice-krispies-treats/) - 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

- [Review: Toasted Coconut Cheerios](https://www.cerealously.net/review-toasted-coconut-cheerios/) - Listen, I've been cereal blogging for four and a half years now. After about two, adjectival creativity gets tough. I mean, even for a concept as broad as cereal, there aren't that many words to clearly convey its flavor without getting too hokey—which I still do, to the point of putting the wrong words in and
- [News: Target Launches Market Pantry Cereal Bowl Ice Cream](https://www.cerealously.net/news-target-launches-market-pantry-cereal-bowl-ice-cream/) - You know, if it weren't for the Country Music Awards, we might not be in this mess. See, the use of "Cereal," "Cereal Bowl" or any other such noshing nomenclature really needs to be standardized. When a company tries to infuse cereal flavor into a distinctly non-cereal entity, there's no bottom line for quality control

Then we're berry excited (Justin's joke, not mine) to share something that might make a grey day a little milky-whiter. After a fourish week hiatus, Justin and I are back in The Empty Bowl to close out our "first season" with Episode XX. For the temperamentally troubled and unfamiliar, The Empty Bowl is an ever-placid

You know it to be true: You wish you could be a graham cracker. Don't fight it—we all feel the same. To be a wholesome sheet of baked flour, breezily aerated and tucked in beneath a tender blanket of honey? That's some post-Saṃsāra level transcendent comfort right there. And we at

You thought Blueberry Eggo Cereal was exciting? Psh, maybe if you're a garden variety syrup snob. And Blueberry Muffin Toasters? Don't make me laugh. Isn't that just Eggo for squares? No, what any true-goo cereal fan should be excited for is just this: dry, sugar-dusted wheat bricks tenderly squelched (12%) full

Blueberry Muffin Tops? Heard of 'em? Dreamt of 'em? Wept for 'em? Many do all three at once. This early 2000s cult favorite pastried cereal had an impressive life, between being one of very few "Malt-O-Meal Originals" at the time, being criminally under-discussed save

In fact, you should probably buckle up, drive to your nearest greasy spoon station, pull up to pump #4, Ignore the standard unleaded butter and mid-grade compotes.

Now step aside so me and the 'buster boys can exorcise the restless dust bunnies haunting your droppings-dropping vacuum. But the question does remain: will Boo Berry make me weep tears of mirth or mourning this year? It's been two years since

If ol' H.B., or "Poppy Reese," as Wikipedia likes to allege he was called, hadn't been tinkering in his basement with homebrewed confections whilst moonlighting at the Hershey factory, he wouldn't've seized the opportunity to make a revolutionary peanut butter cup. Maybe he would've been

Gone are the days of the grocery store's overindulgence in pumpkin spice beverages, foodstuffs, and assorted lifestyle paraphernalia. No, this year should be all about pumpkin pie. And before you open your gourd-hole, of course they're not the same! I'm sick

I'll admit, I have an ongoing aural embargo against the tune. My grubby brain is nematodally susceptible to earworms, so out of fear for my undisturbed dreamscapes, I've not only never listened to Baby Shark, but

No, seriously—this is a big step for Golden Grahams. This criminally underrated 1975 cereal almost always gets the short end of the campfire roasting stick when it comes to creative new variations. Perhaps it's an intentional—and respectable—commitment to the purity of Golden Grahams' sterling reputation, but the

Perhaps sensing my grating distaste for granulated, tasteless rings, an unexpected source is about to relieve my weathered sweet tooth from the kind of breakfast blandness slowly eroding it like a suckled candy cane. It's aptly titled "Peanut Butter & Jelly Puffs," a no-nonsense, respectably minimalistic name that nevertheless belies the sheer insanity

When do we want 'em? For breakfast! And as a midnight snack! And maybe for dinner!

I am sick of this sugar ring cereal "trend." It's lazy, it's cheap, it's boring, and it's downright disrespectful to cereal fans excited for creative new spins on breakfast favorites. Kellogg's is the primary offender here, spreading a plague of plodding fruity-ish riffs

Now that I have the c-suite's attention, I only have one request: Please, please make a Peanut Butter Crunch Krave. It's true: while eating

They're all talking points—or at least blunt edges—in The Empty Bowl's latest 30-minute lullaby. For those tragically high-strung few who've yet to decompress with our light and loose explorations of variously dense cereals, clear your mind and

So what's the deal with chocolate and cinnamon? Though it has a place in

And of all cryptozoological people, it's Lucky the Leprechaun? I'm not entirely surprised by this—Lucky has been exceptionally puckish lately—but the surprise doesn't need to be

By this I mean: I seriously doubt anything I've written on this website has ever influenced a cerealsmith's grand designs—though if Blueberry Muffin Toasters

Do they do something logical, like hold a focus group of common cereal consumers and wise cerealheads alike, or perhaps mail out surveys? Or do they just go to Mr. Breakfast's cereal archive, rip a fat scroll off the mouse wheel, and throw

I've drawn a protective circle in the sand that thou shan't not breach! Sorry if I sound overly defensive, but it's been three years and I've still never once heard the parasitic ear-worm known as "Baby Shark."

Do we really want the world's daughters looking up to someone who craps in the ocean? Sorry

Early last year, the breakfast aisle's favorite impish Irelander threw all caution to the sugar-swirled wind with Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes, a marbit mashup that may not have tasted amazing, but was nevertheless a flippant play that earned my respect for poking

For those confused by most of that (rather than just some of it): Menards is a midwestern hardware store comparable to Home Depot or Lowe's—if

I was going to ask why we've never gotten an M&M's cereal yet, given that M&M's Cocoa Krispies Treats exist and would make for a logical in-bowl deconstruction. But then I remembered that I've already put M&M's on cereal before, during an ill-fated attempt at cereal trail-mixology that resulted

I awoke today planning only to share the duel of wills that occured between me and Blue-Eyes White Dragon Cereal. And then I was gobsmacked by a Reddit tip

Thanks to /r/YukiHase on Reddit, we now know that Twinkies will be the next titan of the gas station snack aisle to become a Post-produced Hostess Cereal. Twinkies would arguably have been the more obvious choice for

I spent the morning carefully curating and collating the best possible Yu-Gi-Oh! deck from a jumbo tupperware's worth of monster-fronted cardboard rectangles. I go to my local Meijer grocery store, which, for some reason, was hosting a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament (an in-store event that, for some even worse reason, never

Last chance to tuck in your inner child somewhere beneath your liver. Okay, don't say I didn't warn you... If you're unsure why the above cereal box art sparks so much primal revulsion in the pits of my soul, you've got a few decades

One carries an entire nation's breakfast connotations on its sugared back, while the other cloaks its doughy balls in the sinful jar of night. And yet, I can't think of any one
- [Review: South Korean Oreo O's RED & Peanut Butter O's!](https://www.cerealously.net/review-south-korean-oreo-os-red-peanut-butter-os/) - What better way to celebrate a special day than with two special cereals? Or to be more sentimentally apt, what better way to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Cerealously.net than with a new variant of this blogger's all-time favorite cereal? Yes, it feels like I've preached the virtues of South Korean Oreo O's so many

If you find yourself, your cat or dog overwhelmed by loud fireworks or Uncle Paul's nonstop salvo of cannonballs,

It's not (entirely) about it being an unnecessary sequel, and more about how I have to pee so often during movies that it leaves massive plot holes in my memory if the staff refuse
- [Review: Peanut Butter Chex Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/peanut-butter-chex-review-cereal/) - Ever play Mario Kart? From Toadette to Bowser and every Birdo in between, the characters have three broad weight classes: light, medium, and heavy. Modern Chex cereals follow a very similar model, with each choosing to use a rice, corn, or wheat base, respectively. Now I'm not saying that Donkey Kong would ever trade bananas

Malt-O-Meal & Cold Stone Creamery's Cookie Doughn't You Want Some? is the latest in their ice cream cereal series, after Birthday Cake Remix and Our Strawberry Blonde. And it has to be a secret social experiment

Personally, I never expected last year's mythically rumored and inscrutably unavailable Freedom Crunch to spread its wings once more, but now it's reprinting its same red, white, and blue Crunch Berries like

Through the sentimental lenses of turquoise-tinted glasses. Yes, on my and Justin's latest dive into the Cereal Milk Fountain of Youth, we break down the devastating breaking-down of a Kellogg's classic,

Perhaps sensing a disturbance in the cosmic balance of Oreo O goodness, the South Korean

Has the waxing trend of ascetic minimalism led cookie fans to ditch their earthly possessions and irrational need for continually and ridiculously escalating Stuffiness? As we discussed on the latest Empty Bowl episode, all the gimmick Oreos in the world still can't hold up against

Filled with goo, and maybe fruit; this blogger's in, hot pursuit. Look out, here comes the Spidey Berry! ♪ Just like Marvel's sequel-happy universe, the Spider-Man Pop-Tart canon just keeps expanding.

Just as Kellogg's U.S. has made the borderline despicable choice to make Rice Krispies Treats Cereal a crudely deconstructed caricature of its former, cult-favorite self, Kellogg's U.K. is bringing its version of Cocoa Krispies to a bold new frontier of flavor. Fronted by Coco the monkey, a mascot

Not trying to knock General Mills before trying their newest cereal, of course, but the latest and second-laziest trend of new cereal ideation (behind crude 'mallowfication, of course) seems to be creating Greatest Hits collections of other cereals so it can

But now that I've

With an epidemic of marshmallows. I'm usually pretty positive about new cereal news. Whether it's a sour cereal or a savory cereal, I'm always willing to give iffy premises the benefit of the doubt. But this? This is egregious. The most insensitive offence since Alpha-Bits annihilated what little

When eaten in the morning, just past noon, or at midnight, it centers, grounds, and rebalances our day to an even keel. For this reason—and the whole milk thing—eating cereal on the go typically requires either a crumb-ersome cereal bar or two separate

Just as Post is launching Mega Stuf Oreo O's in bagged form, its subsidiary cereal kilns at Malt-O-Meal are cranking out dozens of dozens of little cookies to fill bags

Those foreboding rumbling of a tectonic plate sandwiched between two others, heralding the beginning of something...cataclysmic? It's an anomaly in Earth's chocolate cookie crust, and we haven't felt one of this magnitude since the great Oreo Cheesequake that turned countless communities upside down—while leaving them dizzyingly unable to fall. Yes, we

Perhaps rightfully realizing the prurient wordplay potential of high-octane creme, the Oreo O's + marshmallows equation has been redubbed Mega Stuf Oreo

You know, the ceaseless, caustic conflict between those who love those graham-wrapped little choco-chrysalises (hi, it's me) and those who think they taste like dog food (*ahem*). Such division doesn't belong in the breakfast aisle, a demilitarized zone for those seeking unanimously sweet solidarity and

There's a reason it's a common Biblical increment of days, as well as the highest number ever counted to on Sesame Street: achieving forty of something is a Big feat—whether it's Bird or Man in the Sky. Which is why it's both a blessing and curse that Lucky Charms' newest sort-of-cereal-bar is

Mostly because Hardee's Froot Loops Mini Donut Milkshake sounds like the shimmering iridescent zenith of all three of my greatest indulgent joys, and partly because I don't know if my consequence-blind moderate lactose intolerance could resist impulsively imploding my intestines just to try one. You may

Now that we've apparently breached New Cereal Mania Jr., the summer son of January's non-stop oated onslaught, General Mills is revealing its coincidental—or perhaps copycat—strategy of forging creative cereal–non-cereal brand partnerships. Just yesterday, we learned of two new Fillows flavors, Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme and Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll: conspicuous analogues for

It seems Pop-Tarts is having a tough time figuring it out. They've tried the obvious. They've tried to distill the essence of our diets. And they've tried two other Red, White & ___ flavors before ditching the generic Berry and misplaced Cherry (which works neither chromatically nor rhythmically) for Blueberry.

Following the halcyon days of the Milk 'n' Cereal Bar (which you can still buy at places like...Staples?), most modern cereal bars are basically just airy candy/granola bar hybrids. Which isn't a bad thing—it's still the only way to

So I'm gonna ask you one more time: where's Captain Cupcake? It's really the only explanation: the squiggle-stached mascot behind Hostess Cupcakes, known for his hulking naval circumference and nautical nonsense, hasn't been seen in action for years. Many theorized that he, along with the

Nope, sorry buster: this cereal is specifically for your stomach. Your gut. Your food wallet. Whatever you call it, it better be ready for a healthy migration of gut flora, because Kellogg's new HI! Happy Inside cereal line is here to culture abdomens everywhere. We've been

At least I'm not alone: the existence of Harvest Strawberry-flavored "Simply" Pop-Tarts has apparently gone under the radar of every snack food journalist from the information super highway to the dusty backroads of the Wild Wildberry West. And for good

Close followers of Crunchian lore will remember a certain Freedom Crunch, a hyper-patriotic Cap'n variant that I discovered last summer and later redacted, after hearing from Cap'n Crunch that it was never actually produced. But then, I received word from Minnesota

But if you'd rather circumvent common cupped and caked frustrations (why are my hands so oily? where do I put this damp, crumb-covered liner? why have we as a culture recognized Funfetti's flavorlessly sweetened sovereignty?),

Sonny directs an autobiopic, starring Jack Nicholson, about his frequent, Cocoa Puff-inspired escapes from various insane asylums. And Cap'n Crunch, of course, continues his storied 3000-year legacy as an immortal cereal centurion, subsisting solely on the blood of rejected

No word on whether this will naturally evolve into a Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch seasonal variant (but it should!). The pizookie, a pizza-shaped cookie, is a dangerous concept, for it implies the existence of cookie-shaped pizzas, an impulse dinne-ssert

See, every flavored variant of normal Chex has a direct flavor analogue in the Cheerios canon. Blueberry and Blueberry. Chocolate and Chocolate. Cinnamon and Oat Crunch. Vanilla and Frosted. Honey Nut and You Know What. I can only assume this portal

Land and sea. Sun and moon. Muffin tops and bottoms. That's why the next logical, equalizing step for FYE after making a picturesquely peaceful Bob Ross cereal would have to be something both revolting and soul-squirming. Perhaps forged from society's collective reaction to Maple Bacon Donut Cereal, Garbage Pail

Ever since Scooby-Doo fruit snacks, another object of

Once or twice a year, the Raisin Bran sun, with his soul-melting smile, rolls dice using his twin scoops of divine electromagnetic balance to determine what the next Kellogg's Raisin Bran cereal flavor will be. Apple Strawberry. Bunch-less Bananas. Cranberries. Uh...Omega-3 Flaxseed? It's true that ol' Helios' has

Sort of like J. Jonah Jameson, but with flip-flops.

And that's before you add milk. This ferociously (and fangoriously) devoured fantasy is more likely than you think: once again, Lucky Charms is giving away specially designed boxes of

When you’re reviewing breakfast fare, a scale is necessary. I won’t feign presumptions on how those who write about lesser foodstuffs manage to assign numerical ratings. What constitutes a perfect 10 in, say, pizza? Are there dual systems for thin crust and deep dish? Such are

And he still hasn't canonized the late Carmen Miranda yet either, so I refuse to acknowledge his scripture's legitimacy over the

And if so, why? Of all the cereal brands out there, I wouldn't have expected Froot Loops to start a weird off-shoot series of pseudo-spiritual successors that draw from the world of myths and mutants. Despite its history with otherworldly creatures, Froot Loops seems a little too innocently

See, despite the best efforts of cereal curators and Ralston researchers such as myself, no one knows exactly when this crunchiest day of the year was first commemorated, nor who it was that first raised their (presumably) marble mug–bowl hybrid to propose the occasion. That said, if you'd

Mass Hysteria!](https://www.cerealously.net/the-empty-bowl-episode-9-rings-and-flakes-living-together-mass-hysteria/) - Forgive the lateness on sharing our latest show: I was too busy cleaning Caticorn Cereal, which you'll likely hear about again in the next episode out of my carpet. https://twitter.com/cerealouslynet/status/1101202155250348032 Now that I've surely assuaged any timely anxiety with therapeutically cute feline mischievousness, I can talk about the latest Empty Bowl. New to our intercontinental breakfast
- [Review: Trader Joe's Neapolitan Puffs Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-trader-joes-neapolitan-puffs-cereal/) - Let’s take a moment to admire the abject honesty of the current cereal industry. We’ve had our ups and downs, with the occasional public health outcry shaping the way our beloved commodity is branded. Sugar Frosted Flakes became Frosted Flakes. Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks, which was refined for a period to just Smacks before
- [Classic Review: King Vitaman Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/classic-review-king-vitaman-cereal/) - The abdication of an edible monarchy is an interesting thing, and a recurring concept amongst snack sovereigns. Perhaps it's the unpopularity of ivory-towered mascots when compared to working class leprechauns and rabbits, but in past decades we've seen King Don usurped by a facelessly caked corporate hegemony, and the Burger King reduced to a mere

Yes, the above piece of cereal box lo-fi art is the only trustworthy documentation we have of Kellogg's upcoming cereal–cinema collab: Toy Story 4's Carnival Berry Cereal! The fourth film in the beloved (and occasionally tear-jerking) Pixar series is also getting the franchise's third cereal, continuing
- [Review: Kellogg’s Overwatch Lúcio-Ohs Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-overwatch-lucio-ohs-cereal/) - It’s perfectly normal for a grown man to stress-sweat over diacritic placement, right? I remember when Pokémon first arrived on U.S. shores, and no one could figure out what to do with that funky mark over the e. Then a generation of kids learned to use hexadecimal code on our LiveJournals and all was right

It might not be until President Anthony T. Tiger is democratically elected as GRRR-and Crunch Chancellor in 2814 (rightfully usurping the callously crafted throne of the militaristic Cap'n before him), but I predict that someday, every cereal will exist, and originality will be an obsolete
- [Review: Fiber One Strawberries & Vanilla Clusters](https://www.cerealously.net/review-fiber-one-strawberries-vanilla-clusters/) - There is a storied era in my life, one marked by a fleeting—or perhaps flaking—fixation with Fiber One. This was no regular phase (and yet, it very much was); in fact, I look back at it fondly as the deliberate death and rebirth of my true cereal passion. At the time, I grew worried that my

You know, the one with the cute dogs and frosty alien visitors that nefariously replicate human life? Well in its 1951 ancestor film, the evil extraterrestrial is made of blood-lusted plant life. Now I'm not saying we should call up Kurt Russell, but it seems like Trader Joe's latest cereal might have mixed

Well fear no more: Post & the temporarily name-tweaked Honey Brunches of Oats are raising another barnyard cereal for National Cereal Day, so both sweet-meat munchies can find solidarity together as they slowly expire on your

Stack up your queue and call it a day. Yes, The Empty Bowl is back after a brief, technologically stymied hiatus, and cohost Justin McElroy and I have brought a number of appropriately hollow platitudes with it. The latest appetizing apparition in our meditative cereal mirage of a

See, back in my day, when you wanted to create a mythical hybrid creature, you just smashed two normal animals together and called it a day. Like the Liger: a good, honest, all-American legend bred for its magical abilities. Not like that bootleg real liger. But I digress. The point is that Kellogg's boldly spliced Caticorn

Whatever it is, I want a job doing it for the Smithsonian. Empty Bowl listeners should already be familiar with my love of cereal myths—talking about the same cereal legends all day has me craving a tasty enigma—and much like last year's Freedom Crunch fiasco, I'm proud to
- [Review: Honey Bunches of Oats Apple Caramel Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/review-honey-bunches-of-oats-apple-caramel-crunch/) - You've heard of snack attacks, but what about sneack attacks? No, that's not a typo: I firmly believe that Honey Bunches of Oats has perfected the art of the 800-pound guerrilla breakfast bombardment. Not even counting the recent, off-brand and Internet-splintering news of Honey Brunches of Oats Chicken & Waffles Cereal, the now 30-year old

I don't care if loving their pastel colors, minimalistic anatomy, and chibi countenance makes me any less of a gritty, macho cereal blogger—sorry, Mr. Universe: I'm declining the invitation—Peeps will always be welcome on my couch and in
- [Review: Rice Krispies Treats Snap Crackle Poppers (3 Flavors!)](https://www.cerealously.net/rice-krispies-treats-snap-crackle-poppers-review-3-flavors/) - What makes a balanced breakfast? Cereal commercials will have you believe it calls for toast, fruit, milked cereal, another glass of milk, maybe like a sausage?, and some OJ for good measure. Despite such a figurative feast's skewed carbo-hydrating to protein ratio, it's still probably a better balanced breakfast than what I had in mind:
- [Review: Cap'n Crunch's Strawberry Shortcake Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/strawberry-shortcake-capn-crunch-review/) - "Let them eat cake." — Cap'n Horatio Magellan Crunch Well, probably. The origin of that quote is disputed by historians, biographers, and cereal box scribes, so it may very well have been everyone's favorite breakfast boatman. After all, the never-aging Cap'n appears to be forever sailing in some timeless sea or milky non-place, so an

Stretch Armstrong-ed Pop-Tarts Crisps? The assimilated sentience of several dozen Pop-Tarts Cereal pieces? Oh, right: I remember those retro rectangles now. Original Pop-Tarts—or OG PTs, as the kids may very well say—were what Kellogg's used to make way back in 2018, before they
- [Review: Malt-O-Meal Peanut Butter Cookie Bites](https://www.cerealously.net/review-malt-o-meal-peanut-butter-cookie-bites/) - Look, I don't know much about sacred geometry, but I'm still going to thank it. Whatever Euclidian miracle is allowing my long-lost (or so it feels) Waffle Crisp to live on in spirit post-discontinuation deserves my praise. And Waffle Crisp's memory isn't being preserved in just one cereal analogue, either: Chicken & Waffles Cereal, which I'm ashamed
- [Review: Nutter Butter Cereal from Post](https://www.cerealously.net/nutter-butter-cereal-review-from-post/) - "What's the best peanut butter cereal?" is perhaps one of breakfast's most divisive questions—right up there with "is cereal a soup?" (No, it's not: soup is a concept, not a thing defined by its components. Please stop asking me.) There are many who ardently support Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch. There are others who swear
- [Review: Cap'n Crunch's Chocolatey Berry Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/capn-crunch-chocolatey-berry-crunch-review-cereal/) - To paraphrase a notable shrimp entrepreneur, "Valentine's Day is like a box of Crunch Berries: you always know what you're gonna get." And this made-up quote from a made-up character is right: February 14th inevitably means the same parade of uneaten Conversation Hearts, shamefully scarfed Reese's Hearts, and tentatively nibbled (but ultimately abandoned) coconut chocolate-box

While it may be no surprise that Post is adding Teddy Grahams to its growing gauntlet roster of infinity cookie cereals, for someone who loves Teddy Grahams—and its long-gone Breakfast Bears breakfast cereal—as much as me, this is an era-defining ordeal. I mean, between the number of times

I'm afraid we must accept an uncomfortable truth—food science's rate of cereal experimentation has mutated far faster and more disturbingly than any human could possibly orchestrate. Breakfast must be growing self aware. And it wants a

Which ancient grain gods and granulated goddesses hold court over the eternal fates of discontinued cereal souls, reanimating some amd leaving others in cultically revered purgatory? Well whoever they are, they've got some explaining to do: it's been nearly half a decade since the heyday
- [The Empty Bowl Episode 7: Beating a Dead Shortcake](https://www.cerealously.net/the-empty-bowl-episode-7-beating-a-dead-shortcake/) - I don't mean to brag, but this is my mom's favorite episode yet. Or maybe least favorite, as The Empty Bowl's seventh journey into the pearly milk gates of calming cereal paradise covers my biggest childhood cereal influence's debatably unjust disposal of preciously Honey Bunched goodness. But while I (lovingly!) wait for her testimony, allow me to

In the year 20 C.G.E (Crazy Good Era), humans can enjoy a Pop-Tart whenever they want, however they want. Unlike the clunky "into face" interface of the iTart and the borderline septic seepage of Pop-Tarts' "Pop-Up Fuel Nozzlez," current Pop-Tarchitecture is able to seamless transmit Pop-Tarts flavor activators right to the taste

You ever hear news so good, it gets you feeling a little warm? But not like, the bad, sweaty, smelly kind. Or the hauntingly feverish kind either. More like the cozily grill-lined, hot & toasty feeling of a warm blanket, or perhaps a toaster set to massage

What does Franken Berry do for the 10.5 months of the year he isn't slinging spooky strawberry cereal and reclining seductively in plain view of traffic? Trading secrets with Lucky and Mario, apparently. Thanks to tips from sega_retro_revival and cereal compatriot Gabe Fonseca on Instagram (thanks!), we now

I always love seeing a wacky cereal rumor come true, but at what cost? Seriously, you could tell me a Brain-Eating Bacteria Bran cereal was coming out, and I'd probably still excitedly debate about what flavor it would be. (My money's on the muted savoriness of a cooked noodle.) While we

Yet again, vegetables are forgotten in the breakfast aisle. Don't get me wrong, I love fruit: ketchup is my favorite! But corn flour shouldn't be the only place nature's more savory bounty can express its vegetableau of unique flavors. I'm talking Zucchini Bread Toast Crunch. Sweet Dill Frosted
- [News: Pop-Tarts Crisps are Back, in Two Flavors!](https://www.cerealously.net/news-pop-tarts-crisps-are-back-in-two-flavors/) - (Update: We reviewed them!) Is Pop-Tarts getting the gang back together? Hear me out: Pop-Tarts history is rich with not only decadent filling, but with convenience-focused pastry offshoots, too. And from the mid-'90s up until just a few years ago, these cult classic pieces of Pop-Tart paraphernalia have died off, leaving only the humble P-T
- [Review: Banana Creme Frosted Flakes](https://www.cerealously.net/review-banana-creme-frosted-flakes/) - Cult classic cereals are fascinating. The Rocky Horrors of the breakfast world, this ragtag bunch of sweethearts from across time and space have won the lifelong loyalty of a select few weirdos (meant in the most loving way) who may have only had them a few times, but would risk life, limb, and even liver to

Someday I anticipate we'll reach a cereal singularity. When all the ideas have been made already, it will become most economically viable to print Count Chocula and S'Mores Oops! No Graham Crackers! Cereal on respective sides of the same box. Then some grocery stocker need only flip

Arcane talismans that exude nostalgic simplicity and forbidden sweetness so concentrated that it can be hard to process for an adult stomach. Ironic, since they're so processed. In more innocent times I gobbled Twinkies and Zebra Cakes with reckless abandon—I notoriously once went so far as to fit

Just last week I wrote about a pioneering holiday cereal: Cap'n Crunch's Chocolatey Berry Crunch, which will join Reese's Puffs Hearts as the cereal aisle's leading Valentine's Day voyagers. But it's not just Hallmark holidays that are being bitten by the breakfast bug. Call it the work of Bunnicula,

A Pop-Tart Casserole? Ha, you doubt the binding power of sweet potato and marshmallow fluff. Pop-Tart Steak? Psh, what is a grill but a giant toaster? Pop-Tart Ravioli? I'm not even going there. The point is that we probably

Yes, to the bittersweet disdain of resolution-makers everywhere, the cereal industry always chooses to debut the bulk of its

With Kellogg’s banking on a shift toward summery flavors for 2019, it makes sense to prepare now for what’s shaping up to be a very good year

No joke: Malt-O-Meal's latest upcoming cereal circles look like bisected pieces of their parent company Post's delightful 2017 Nutter Butter Cereal. And I'm all here for it. Peanut Butter Cookies Bites was announced in typical fashion by M-O-M. By which I mean it

It's a rare case when the nautical breakfast-slinger ditches his traditional treasure chests for rounder doubloons, and when he does, it almost unanimously involves his seemingly deep-seated (emphasis on the sea) obsession with donuts. Until now, as Instagram user @miss_tortellini has shared the world's first glimpse at upcomimg Strawberry
- [Review: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/cinnamon-toast-crunch-churros-review-cereal/) - There's an old adage in the breakfast and breakfurious business of cereal: K.I.C.S., which of course stands for Keep It Cinn-ple Stupid. The Toast Crunch family of cereals is many things: necromantic, with its obsessive reanimation of old products. It's viral, as the cereal's cinnamon-spiced squares infect products with only a tertiary connection to the

It's an epidemic that's only getting worse: the aggressive expediting of seasonal products to store shelves, way ahead of their culturally accepted timeframe of appearance. Can you imagine if Punxsutawney Phil popped up just before December

- [Review: Pop-Tarts Crisps (Strawberry & Brown Sugar Cinnamon)](https://www.cerealously.net/pop-tarts-crisps-review-strawberry-brown-sugar-cinnamon/) - Calling it now: 2019 is going to be the year of zany breakfast peripherals. Just as the '80s and early 2000s video game industries saw an influx of variably successful light guns, and philharmonic orchestra's worth of plastic instruments, the 2k1x's penultimate year is already promising a wealth of niche offshoots for familiar breakfast brands.

Pokémon Cereal seems poised for a Detective Pikachu-themed comeback (hopefully without all the textured fur). OJ's could fill the Orange Creampop Crunch-sized hole in my heart/roof of mouth. Or C3PO's could return with special "Red Arm Marshmallows"—though I'm not sure anyone would recognize them
- [Review: Wild Harvest Blueberry Walnut Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-wild-harvest-blueberry-walnut-cereal/) - The breakfast aisle is guerrilla warfare. We have Malt-o-Meal cranking out hit after hit while Aldi’s in-house brand drops the surprise bomb of the holiday season. What the Cuphead is going on here?! I’m having ancestor-flashbacks to when an imitator started dressing like Hydrox and soon became America’s Favorite Cookie. So please, stick with me
- [Review: Kellogg's Honey Nut Frosted Flakes](https://www.cerealously.net/kelloggs-honey-nut-frosted-flakes-review-cereal/) - As a wise little green friend once said: “Always two there are; no more, no less.” And while he may have been talking about an arcane order of insidiously apprenticed malevolence, I think the moral of that particular space opera applies to honey nut cereals, as well. See, Honey Nut Cheerios didn’t become America’s favorite

The east wall of a gingerbread house, or the entire 20-acre gingerbread farm? My point is that while any individual bite of a Pop-Tart—which maxes out at around a quarter-Tart in extreme cases, or at least in my own—cannot possibly contain the same measured deliciousness as the

Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-snickerdoodle-koo-kies-cereal/) - Consider this a gentle warning: no matter how much you like digging into a bowl of cinnamon sweetness, don’t bother digging deep into its origins. Because as I’ve learned, you risk getting tangled in the strings of a merry marionette show starring corporate puppet brands, shrouded timelines, and eye-dehydrating confusion. It all started when the

Well it wouldn't be December

That is to say, you may not recognize the flavor on its own, but that spicy rhizome appears in just about every baked worth its sodium bicarbonate. Like the iconically forgotten character actor, ginger is more versatile than a cyborg tardigrade. We’re talking about a guy who has

But there's only one thing that separates great cereals and legendary cereals—you know, the kind of breakfast fare you need a Master Bowl to catch. And that's accessibility.

With just about no press and just as little fanfare, the brand releases new variations of its perfected-over-decades, eaten-religiously-by-my-mother-for-even-longer honey flakes 'n' oat clusters recipe.

First we got the infamously inscrutable Toaster Strudel, essentially a high-maintenance Posh-Tart, and now a pair of Soft Filled Cereal Bars.

Tactical Headquarters (Cerealously Research Unified Network for Communications and Hijinks), there’s an eerie calm this Halloween season. As the big Monster Cereals anniversary coincides with Kellogg’s spoony decision to again throw down the gauntlet-shaped marbit, I at least expected to see some excitement. And yet most major

Our dearly departed Cinnamon Star Crunch, who will remain in our hearts, minds, and stomach memories forever, lived a short life. Only on shelves for the 2016 holiday season, the tragically young crunchy cinnamon stars have now died a second death. To

Exhibit B: Cookies 'n Creme Fillows, an entirely new cereal line for General Mills (which I hope expands to PB&J, but that's beside the point), taking the filled pillow model that is now quintessentially Kellogg and Krave's—I'd call Fillows

Some have minor differences, like a perplexing land in which Thanksgiving is celebrated in October. In others, though, we might see some truly uncanny results of the Butterfly Effect. It

Sure, you could grab some Barbasol and shave a caramel apple, but it would be much harder to cleanly disembowel a Rolo, power wash some caramel corn, or exorcise a Werther's Original.

Remember Post's Mini Cinnamon Churros, a 2011 cult favorite cereal featuring fun-sized toasted churro pieces? If you don't, that's okay—it seems to have had unreliable regional availability through much of its 3-4ish-year lifespan.

S'Mores, brownie batter, caramel: all slightly unconventional flavors that, despite not being a honey nut, chocolate, or strawberry, always seem to find their way back into the breakfast aisle—and some how under our nails, in our hair, and even binding together electronics as a haphazard tape replacement.

Yes, I'd like to file a serious complaint of the geometrically misleading nature.

Sure, I ate plenty of knuckle sandwiches, but thankfully my school bullies were usually too stout for their ham-thighed roundhouses to reach my molars. Oh, and I never ate Kix cereal, either. Why?

See, back in my day, we had to drive uphill both ways to Walmart, just to find Count Chocula.

Yeah, yeah: I'm not suggesting that this country's obsession with autumnal seasoning is going to be squashed out any time soon—I've made that mistake for about three consecutive years now. But I am saying that we are approaching an absurdity threshold, where even illogical products are being consecrated

From French Milquetoast Crunch to Oreo Oh...s, the cereal industry's recent revivals of straight-off-the-BuzzFeed-list cult classic morning munchies have all been good, but they lose their luster when compared to the originals.

What started as a jovial musical fruit has now convinced all of society that it's cool, and its positive public opinion rises with every pet name given, Starbucks opened, and Rowan Atkinson'd.

See, I don't think Kellogg's timely decision to turn their 3 flagship spookily spoonable flavors—Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, and Chocolate Frosted Flakes, all with (formerly skeletal) marshmallows—into awesomely characterized, diversely 'mallowed jack-o'-lantern glow-upped versions of themselves was a mere aimless

Well, kind of: Funko—the maker of those swollen-skulled pop culture figurines you've probably seen on your geeky friend's mantel or on a purgatorial Toys 'R Us shelf—is finally releasing its first line of collectors cereals, but only in special stores. So
- [Review: 7-Eleven Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries Slurpee](https://www.cerealously.net/7-eleven-capn-crunchs-crunch-berries-slurpee-review/) - There are certain events in the cereal world that take on a great historic significance. Events that I end up referencing constantly in future reviews, party conversations, and poorly thought out wedding toasts. In recent memory, a few spring to mind: the one-year resurrection of Frute Brute & Yummy Mummy monster cereals, the permanent revival
- [Review: Vanilla Latte Frosted Mini-Wheats](https://www.cerealously.net/review-vanilla-latte-frosted-mini-wheats/) - Just kidding. I'm not putting coffee in cereal after that time I melted my Wheaties into Pasties. Milk only logically makes these country bumpkin vanilla bales a taste of metropolitan latte. The pleasant nuances from above do get denser when dairy-blasted, but it's still a little fleeting, as the wheat bricks' labyrinthine pores suck up
- [Cereal News Round Up!](https://www.cerealously.net/cereal-news-round-up/) - 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
- [Review: Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-cheerios-cinnamon-oat-crunch-cereal/) - Milk isn't a game-changer for Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crunch. It dilutes the mouth-gumming ness of the syrupy glaze, but the overall experience is still cinnamon-y, oat-y, toasty, and even a little oaky. It may be a little too "healthy adult" for Cinnamon Toast Crunch die-hards, but I like the "stuffed organic cinnamon roll" approach and

But while most taste trends wear themselves out—pumpkin spice, sriracha, maple bacon, and the '70s' aspic-encapsulated everything spring to
- [Review: Dippin' Dots Cookies 'n Cream Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-dippin-dots-cookies-n-cream-cereal/) - The world of bootleg sandwich cookies is well documented, even here on this blog, as I mocked Creme Betweens for being the kind of Oreo wannabe whose name you couldn't even say aloud in middle school without getting a crowd of giggles and a detention. But just as expansive is the world of cookies 'n'
- [Review: Golden Oreo O's Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-golden-oreo-os-cereal/) - Everyone's got that one friend. The one who, regardless of whether it's a Chuck E. Cheese, a fancy Italian restaurant, or a WNBA game, will always order chicken tenders with fries, choosing a safe palate bet at the expense of every other higher risk, higher reward option. Now Oreo O's is being that friend. No,

The last little bit of banana that gets caught in the peel's dry and strand-filled corner. You know, the kinda gross bit you only eat out of pity. Yes this last scoop of banana pudding will end the Great Banana Cereal Bonanza of
- [Review: Banana Split Dippin' Dots Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-banana-split-dippin-dots-cereal/) - What will the cereal of the future look like? Long dubbed the ice cream of the future, Dippin' Dots' (I'm gonna need to order another box of apostrophes) famous evolution was both the atomization and flesh-ripping frostification of the classically amorphous dairy treat using dry ice. Since there's already been cereal with freeze dried ice

Da-da-dum da-da-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum. da-da-dum da-da-dum da-da-dum-dum-dum DA-DA-DUUUUM da-da-dum-dum-dum. If you couldn't tell by my horrible phonetic theme song translation, this is officially part two (outta who even knows any more) of Cerealously's Banana Cereal Bonanza, an unplanned event kicked-off deliciously by Kellogg's and now perpetuated by Post's Honey Bunches of Oats, one
- [News: Chocolatey Salted Caramel Pop-Tarts are Walmart's Exclusive Flavor](https://www.cerealously.net/news-chocolatey-salted-caramel-pop-tarts-are-walmarts-exclusive-flavor/) - The best tastes evolve. Over two years ago now, Kellogg's dropped Chocolatey Caramel Pop-Tarts on us, and they were pretty great, but not "I'll buy them over Cookie Dough Pop-Tarts" good. With a pretty traditional flavor combo that never made BuzzFeed headlines, it seemed like a flavor that couldn't contend in such a gimmick-based breakfast
- [Review: Kellogg’s Raisin Brain with Bananas Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-raisin-brain-with-bananas-cereal/) - Donot mess with bananas. I’m convinced that, for a while now, whatever divine, potassium-based organisms control the world’s banana populations, they’re powerful enough to initiate a new, yellower world order from the safety of their unassuming peels. How do I know this? Just look at every banana cereal of note: the winsome weirdness of Urkel
- [News: Dippin' Dots Cereals are Coming Soon! Cookies & Cream & Banana Split](https://www.cerealously.net/news-dippin-dots-cereals-are-coming-soon-cookies-cream-banana-split/) - The most promising thing about these cereals? In both serials, the Clusters actually contain milk! This means they aren't simply cheap artificially ice cream-flavored gimmicks, but they're actually powered by lactose. I expect many moos and ahhs to come. Shout-out to Cereal Party for finding both cereals on Walmart's website, assumedly debuting soon. I hope neither I nor the cereal melt in
- [Spooned & Spotted: Kashi Honey Cinnamon & Berry Crumble Superfood Combos](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-kashi-honey-cinnamon-berry-crumble-superfood-combos/) - https://twitter.com/cerealouslynet/status/1004140221561176064?s=19 Sorry, I don't usually blog after the fact, but I tweeted this within 64 seconds of it appearing in my peripherals at Meijer. The caption says it all: this discovery has my perpetually-stuck-in-a-'90s-grade-school-lunchroom stomach a-rumblin'. If Krave is king of chocolate stuffed pillows and Hidden Treasures are the lost emperors of fruit stuffed pillows,
- [Review: Malt-O-Meal & Coldstone Creamery Birthday Cake Remix Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-malt-o-meal-coldstone-creamery-birthday-cake-remix-cereal/) - But not all is lost. Like Ovaltine or a Magic Animal Grow Capsule, Malt-O-Meal’s Birthday Cake Remix undergoes a beautiful transformation with a little liquid reassurance. Appropriately, milk gives the cereal’s hitherto tongue-punchingly sweet puffs a balanced dairy creaminess. Taken together, I can totally taste unique notes of buttery vanilla ice cream, as the more

That was my dinosaur bone-a fide reaction after smelling, eating, and then continuing to eat Post’s latest entry in the Flintstone clan’s second most vitamin-packed series of products: Peanut Butter & Cocoa Pebbles cereal. The reason I was so surprised was because PB&C Peebs (the two of us are close now, so

I thought last year that America's years-long obsession with pumpkin-spicing everything—a fanatacism not unlike Beatlemania, if the Fab Four were cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger—had finally given way to caramel apple hysteria. And I was secretly hoping that this year's sensation would be pecan pie, the
- [News: Malt-O-Meal & Cold Stone Creamery – Birthday Cake Remix & Our Strawberry Blonde](https://www.cerealously.net/news-malt-o-meal-cold-stone-creamery-birthday-cake-remix-our-strawberry-blonde/) - Post isn't just making a comeback. They're winning a two-front war. Perhaps sparked into valor by an old post of mine lauding Cap'n Crunch's admiral-ble efforts, Post Foods has escaped its darkest era in creative style, not just restoring Honeycomb's former glory, but also ushering in a potential Golden age of euphoric cookie cereals. I must've insulted their Alpha-Bits one too many times.² But they didn't
- [Quick Review: Wild Kratts PB&J Power Discs Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/quick-review-wild-kratts-pbj-power-discs-cereal/) - Entering this review, PB&J and cereal have a flawless track record. After 2016's fantastic JIF PB&J Cereal and the '80s' mythical PB&J Cereal—which was apparently so transcendentally mind-blowing that no one knows how it tasted—Wild Kratts (whose cartoon series I won't pretend to know anything about: I thought it was a bootleg Thundercats) has a

If the arcane flavor wizards behind Pop-Tarts came to me like genies in the night, asking what my ideal combo of an old and new toaster pastry would be, it wouldn't include Strawberry and Cheesecake—only because I'm not creative enough. I'd

Okay, I know those mineral puns were more of a stretch than The Rock doing yoga, but something as momentous as Reese's-flavored Pebbles cereal deserves elementary sedimentary humor. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4R22z7-bJl4 *Note: Despite what this video says, I'm told these new Pebbles are not gluten

Original Flavor)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-honeycomb-cereal-its-back-original-flavor/) - You know the end of the movie, when the big bad has been defeated and the main, side, tertiary, and no-name characters (who will definitely get fan fiction lore) are all celebrating a fight/romance/exorcism well done? That's where we are—in the third act of Honeycomb's story. Here's the IMDB-worthy synopsis for those who eat their

- [Review: Kellogg’s Wild Berry Froot Loops Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-wild-berry-froot-loops-cereal/) - This is a big step for Toucan Sam. After decades of keeping his proprietary Froot formula under lock and key, he's finally delving into the world of known flora for flavoring his ambiguously fruity products. Granted, it's a baby step: the only "Wild Berry" specifically referenced on the box is a raspberry (and even that
- [Review: Pop-Tarts Sugar Cookie & Brownie Batter Splitz](https://www.cerealously.net/review-pop-tarts-sugar-cookie-brownie-batter-splitz/) - You can't just slap two things together and expect it to be delicious. As a midnight pantry plunderer since a young age, I've learned this the hard way. Because it's a slippery slope. First there's peanut butter and honey sandwiches, then there's peanut butter and pickles. Before long, you've branched out into condiments and there's
- [Coming Soon: Reese's Puffs Peanut Butter Bats!](https://www.cerealously.net/coming-soon-reeses-puffs-peanut-butter-bats/) - https://www.instagram.com/p/BipypoanM5Y/ It's the Reese's. They're...they're learning. Elon Musk may fear humanity's demise at the hand's of a hostile AI, but I think we should be more afraid of Reese's. More and more, their chocolate peanut butter legion is beginning to spread like a delicious zombie virus. See, we started with the humble Reese's Cup—that's fine.

You should look at this and freak out with me. I've been wanting Golden Oreo O's and a Nilla Wafer Cereal for years, but this banana pudding element is a
- [Review: Malt-O-Meal French Toasters Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-malt-o-meal-french-toasters-cereal/) - Malt-O-Meal definitely lives in an alternate universe—an alternate timeline, if you will. In this version of breakfast reality, Cookie Crisp was less corny, Count Chocula never changed after the '90s, and Post didn't release Oreo O's first—that's like America losing the Space Race! Oh, and French Toast Crunch's squared form survived Y2K. What do I mean? Well

Some sort of stacked potato chip, right? Sorry if the heat has jumbled my neural circuitry a bit—everyone knows that doing something as simple as

See, when I eat a healthy(ish) cereal like Trader Joe's Crunchy Cinnamon Squares, I like to reward myself for making good decisions. I don't go overboard, and I always aim for balance: I'll top my hot dogs
- [Review: Trader Joe's Crunchy Maple Ladders Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-trader-joes-crunchy-maple-ladders-cereal/) - Falafel and honey. Hummus and chocolate sauce. Chana masala and marshmallow fluff. As you can obviously tell by these obviously real and totally classic flavor combos, pairing chickpeas with sweet flavor is a totally normal and not eyebrow-raising thing to do. I mean, why else would Trader Joe's make a chickpea, corn, and rice flour cereal flavored with maple syrup? People have definitely

Aside from the killer 'stache and symbolic embodiment of an undying imaginative childhood, Horatio Magellan Crunch and Italy's most esteemed septic specialist also share a knack for character versatility. Where Mario has appeared in basketball games, parties, races, hotels, and even famous disappearances, the Cap'n has

The chaotic good doctor's contributions to science may be questionable—he couldn't even splice "fear of fire" out of his tragic monster: rookie mistake!—but his impact on the breakfast world should not be understated. Aside from giving us the fruity phenomena that is Franken Berry, I like to think ol' Francis

Funko, the maker of those ubiquitous Pop toys who have immortalized nearly every influential pop culture character from Count Chocula to Cap'n Crunch (and a bunch of other non-cereal ones, I guess) in chibi plastic action figure/doll/toy/collectible form, are now entering the cereal game.

Unless you've been living under a Fraggle Rock, you've probably noticed that food and beverage companies are capitalizing on America's recent wave of nostalgia—a yearning for the '80s, '90s, and in the case of Vanilla Milkshake Pop-Tarts, even the early 2000s—brought on by the cruel world we live in now that's

It's not fair that the leprechaun gets all the attention on St. Patrick's Day. People are turning rivers green, eating their weight in pickled cabbage, and drinking enough specialty beverages to leave them dazed (I'm talking post-Shamrock Shake sugar crashes, of course). For a day so absurd by definition, I don't

Following the success of their Magical Unicorn, Jazzy Yeti, and Iridescent Riddle-Telling Sphinx marshmallows, Lucky Charms has decided to keep the cryptozoological marbit trend rolling with a sugar nugget more mythical than ever before: a Technicolor Cthulhu marshmallow! Predictably, this marshmallow becomes too ornately psychoactive—too destructively

Now that the start-of-2018 blitzkrieg of new products has gone as stagnant as a soggy bowl of week old Corn Flakes, I don't have as much to write about—so my apologies for the lack of updates.

- [Review: Kashi GoLean Peanut Butter Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kashi-golean-peanut-butter-crunch-cereal/) - I hope with a name like "Peanut Butter Crunch," that Kashi's newest GoLean cereal is at least made with crunchy peanut butter. The creamy vs. crunchy debate has been waged for decades, with proponents of each texture so ardently supporting their preferred legume paste that I'd bet America's political system was modeled after our competitive two-PB-party system. I mean,
- [Review: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Blasted Shreds Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/general-mills-new-cinnamon-toast-crunch-blasted-shreds-cereal-review/) - Is Cinnamon Toast Crunch the new Oreo? The new pumpkin spice? The new sriracha? The new activated almonds? Yes, like all those hip and trendy flavors (well, minus maybe the almonds: I'm just fascinated by nuts that unlock monkish hidden powers when soaked in water), Cinnamon Toast Crunch seems to be popping up more and
- [Review: Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/lucky-charms-frosted-flakes-cereal-review/) - I love crossovers. Jetsons meet the Flintstones? Great. Scooby-Doo meets the Harlem Globetrotters? Awesome. Peanut butter meets jelly? Bodacious! Two different groups of my friends meet in the same bar and I respond by anxiously escaping to the bathroom? Fantas—wait, wait, no. Okay, maybe Egon was right and some streams aren't meant to cross. But
- [Review: Peanut Butter Chocolate Blasted Shreds Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/general-mills-new-peanut-butter-chocolate-blasted-shreds-cereal-review/) - If you, like me, set a New Year's Resolution to get fit, but have been set back by leftover pie, half-empty frosting cans, new cereals, and every other sweet treat whose scent lifts me off the ground like a euphoric Looney Tunes character, then I have a solution for you. Just buy this cereal and

Yes, I figured this warm 'n' cozy-sounding, breakfast-within-a-breakfast cereal would be a fitting first review for the year of MMXVII for two reasons: one, it's pretty darn healthy and New Year's friendly, at 90 calories per
- [Review: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal from General Mills](https://www.cerealously.net/chocolate-peanut-butter-cheerios-review-cereal-from-general-mills/) - I've long had a theory that every cereal a person could ever need can be formed through a triangulation of three "primary flavors." The three corners of this Cerealluminati Pyramid (working title) are formed by chocolate, peanut butter, and strawberry. Think about it, sheeple people: while those three flavors are near-universally delightful by themselves, by

A brand new, arbitrarily-numbered trip around a giant fireball in the sky that we can spent eating sugary rings with cow's milk while feeling nostalgic for
- [Review: Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts (2017 Return!)](https://www.cerealously.net/2017-strawberry-milkshake-pop-tarts-review-returned/) - Yes, I am ashamed. I may outwardly appear to be a Pop-Tarts connoisseur—you know, the kind of pastry-pushing snob who considers Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Graham to be the best flavor, while simultaneously pushing boxes of Toaster Strudel to the back of the freezer case out of petty vengeance. But to my best recollection, I can't

I barely have enough culinary talent to make Chex Mix without my kitchen turning into an inferno of exploding pretzel kindling. I’m sure you could bake your own cake easily enough anyway—you won’t even need yeast, since you know so much about
- [Review: Cookies 'N' Creme Rice Krispies Treats](https://www.cerealously.net/cookies-and-creme-rice-krispies-treats-review/) - It's about time those backstabbing cookies held up their end of the bargain. See, during a publicized black market trade deal back in 2014, Snap, Crackle, and Pop sold off their DNA to Nabisco, so those cookie-smiths could craft their groundbreaking Marshmallow Crispy Oreos. But the trio of pixies only did it on one condition: in
- [Review: Chips Ahoy! Cereal from Post](https://www.cerealously.net/chips-ahoy-cereal-review-from-post/) - Unlike Nutter Butters or Nilla Wafers, Chips Ahoy! has always been on my bad side. No, not because of the cookie brand's taste, its perpetual civil war between chewy and crunchy (chewy all the way), or its retiring of one my favorite snack mascots: the Cookie Guy. I'm upset at Chips Ahoy! for its brazen, borderline

I know, I know, it's crazy: even after a devilishly creative line like that, Trader Joe's corporate still won't hire me to write their Fearless Flyer. Well buckle, up, Josè, Joey, and Joseph, because your nativity-era copywriting ain't getting any better than that! In fact, I 'd like to try writing a
- [Review: Cereal Time Cereals, by Gabe Fonseca!](https://www.cerealously.net/review-cereal-time-cereals-by-gabe-fonseca/) - If there's one tangible distinction separating the rank of Cereal Knight from Cereal Master, it's hand craftsmanship of one's own cereal. And while I once (keyword: once) tried baking my own "Golden Dan Grahams," that particular odyssey ended with a smoking oven full of half-cooked honey cardboard crisps. So even though I may be on the Cereal Council,
- [Review: Kellogg's Donut Shop Chocolate Donut Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-donut-shop-chocolate-donut-cereal/) - I have to say, that of all the ring-shaped foods out there, I'm pretty glad doughnuts are the only ones that have been into not just one cereal, but several. It's not that I wouldn't love to try a bagel, ditalini pasta, bundt cake, or onion ring: it's just that I think the world at large,

So I'm not going to start this review of Quaker's new Gingerbread Oatmeal (just one arm of their 2017 gingerbread menagerie, which also includes a cereal) by clobbering you over the head with my love for cloves,
- [News: Vanilla and Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts are Making a Comeback!](https://www.cerealously.net/news-vanilla-and-strawberry-milkshake-pop-tarts-are-making-a-comeback/) - The people have spoken, and what they have said is, "we want Arctic dairy beverages distilled into rectangular toaster pastry form." Yes, after much clamoring from a cult of cow-juice junkies (in other words, fans), both Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts and Vanilla Milkshake Pop-Tarts are coming back from whatever breakfast Hades Pop-Tarts shuffle off to when

French Toast Crunch: the sticky son, lost once, but resurrected thanks to a cult following. And now, new Kashi Cinnamon French Toast: a holy syrup, created to enrich our sugar-loving lives with a cereal slightly more wholesome? Forgive me for theologizing, but

That is, until you taste it and realize that a part of you—a small, quiet part chilling out near the gall bladder—has had its secret cravings fulfilled. Kellogg's Pink Donut Cereal is one of those cereals. Like Superman Cereal's Nilla

Goodness knows that it's been long enough since we've seen a Mario-themed breakfast cereal—28 years, in fact, since the Nintendo Cereal System, which packaged two bags of Mario and Zelda cereal in the same box. A man works 60 grueling hours a week fixing leaky sewer pipes,

- [Review: belVita Gingerbread Breakfast Biscuits](https://www.cerealously.net/review-belvita-gingerbread-breakfast-biscuits/) - Gingerbread can do things to a man. Powerful things. Its pillowy cookie coziness can make him devour a whole plates worth of gingerbread men with all the empathy of a bloodthirsty Xenomorph. Its darkling molasses sweetness can make him suckle a used cookie cutter like a hungry baby's favorite pacifier. Its intricate blend of holiday spices
- [Spooned & Spotted: Trader Joe's Hot Cocoa O's Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-trader-joes-hot-cocoa-os-cereal/) - Fight. Fight. Snowball fight! I know I shouldn't incite polar breakfast violence, but it just seems a little too convenient that, right after Hot Cocoa Cocoa Puffs broke the ice as the first-ever hot chocolate-flavored cereal, Trader Joe's hops into the (powdered) mix with a Hot Cocoa O's Cereal of his own. So now there's bound to be a
- [Review: Hot Cocoa Cocoa Puffs Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/general-mills-limited-edition-hot-cocoa-cocoa-puffs-cereal-review-holiday/) - Some things just make sense together. Like peanut butter and chocolate. Or peanut butter and jelly. Or peanut butter and bananas. Or peanut butter and analogies about things that go well together. Oh, and chocolate and marshmallows, I guess. That's why it makes no sense that it took 'til 2017 for General Mills to realize

Scientists have apparently perfected time travel...but only a couple months into the future...and, uh, they apparently can only bring back cereal: not any lottery numbers, sports almanacs, or whatever cryptocurrency is most valuable at the time (CrunchCoin?). Okay maybe not, but breakfast wormholes are the only logical explanation for how the

Sure, it's grammatically correct, but removing the "UGH" removes the rounded pastry's inherent charm, making me vocally say...you guessed it: "Grrr! Arghh! Zounds!" Even a pedant like me can't stay mad when there are two new doughnutty cereals hitting the market. We've known

Yes, now that October's climactic 'ween has waned, I'm slowly waxing into full Christmas mode (it's easy to wax when you have so much 50% off candy corn left over). I know what you all you turkeys are thinking: but what

That's why banana bread and zucchini bread were the butten-laden cornerstones of my developmental years' food pyramid. That's why I've preserved my grandma's mathematically perfected zucchini bread recipe into adulthood. And that's probably why my gut is steadily

Yes, it's true, everyone's favorite indigo apparition has stepped up his game this year—in my past two years of Boo Berry reviews, his dubiously ambiguous and ambiguously dubious "fruit flavor" has lived in Count Chocula and Franken Berry's shadows. Ironic, for someone who's essentially an

If you give that Pop-Tart a typewriter, it'll need thick-rimmed glasses to see the keys. When you give it thick-rimmed glasses, the Pop-Tart will need to know the proper pronunciation of "quinoa" for its upcoming poetry

They're back! ...In Pog form 6 colors. Okay, well Trix never actually left, but when General Mills removed the cereal's artificial colors and flavors at the start of last year, it kind of desaturated the cereal in the public eye. And even I'll admit that, while I appreciated

Or perhaps a frou-frou Kodiak Cake, or maybe a behind-the-scenes expose about my Grandma's lovingly hand-griddled plaid cakes? Wrong, wrong, and—bless her heart—wrong again. No, my inaugural Belgian batter odyssey takes place in a

I've begged for a gingerbread cereal (Gingerbread Toast Crunch, to

That's right: Burger King's Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake is the seventh cereal milkshake I've reviewed in the year 2017. In fact, it's the seventh cereal milkshake I've reviewed ever. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a top candidate for Most-Beloved Cereal Ever. Alongside, Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and Cap'n Crunch, it's a cult classic—and

For years, Puffins have quietly been one of the uniquely crunchiest and wholesome cereal lines in the cereal aisle (or sometimes the health food aisle—you know, the aisle that feels like Woodstock and a farmer's market had a straight-edged child?). And for years, no one has been talking about them!
- [Review: Steak 'n Shake Breakfast Cereal Milkshakes (Cinnamon Crunch & Honey Smacks)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-steak-n-shake-breakfast-cereal-milkshakes-cinnamon-crunch-honey-smacks/) - Whoever first decided to pair milkshakes with cereal deserves a monument. Only a giant marble shake cup will do, preferably filled with liquid platinum and gold nuggets to stand in for soft serve-soaked cereal nibs. It's an unexpectedly genius idea: sure, cereal and milk have an esteemed history, but you don't generally associate an indulgent dessert like

Green Apple whines. "But Mom, he's totally uncool! Fig always gets picked last when we play fruitball—a total poindexter." Yes, I imagine figs as the unpopular kid in the brutal playground hierarchy of the personified fruit world. I mean, fig has what: fancy mostarda and some under-celebrated cookies named after the inventor of calculus?

Yes, instead of Kellogg's, Post, or Quaker taking Reese's Puffs head on with Chocolate Peanut Butter Krave, Pebbles, or...Corn Crunch, General Mills is just releasing

You know, the kind of trailer that inevitably starts with all the wizened and crow-footed stars of the first movie reuniting in their old haunt to topically argue about how things just aren't as good as
- [Review: Halloween Chocolate Fudge Printed Fun Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-halloween-chocolate-fudge-printed-fun-pop-tarts/) - Halloween is about the little things. Ask any full-blooded (or at least fake-blood-slathered) Halloween lover, and I'm sure most will agree. While haunted houses, parties, and handing out candy on The Big XXXI Day itself are the holiday's main events, savoring little spooky moments is the key to feeling merrily macabre from the start of back-to-school season
- [Spooned & Spotted: New Looks for Old Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-new-looks-for-old-cereals/) - Aside from hunting new cereals, Pop-Tarts and Hostess snack cakes (my secret passion—Chocodiles used to be my fudge-slathered white whales), one of my oldest grocery store past times is looking for box art variations of breakfast mainstays. Sometimes the differences are nuanced and small, like earlier this year when French Toast Crunch's plain red box

Honeycomb and Alpha-Bits are good examples. They're classics sure, but unlike Cinnamon Toast Crunch's sect of cinnamon sugar swirlers or Cap'n Crunch's church of masochistic roof-of-mouth manglers, you never really hear people say Honeycomb or Alpha-Bits are their favorite cereals. That is, until

Well it doesn't get much more basic than these pumpkin spice cereals. *ba-dum-tss* Yes, despite the lingering stockpile of leftover hot dogs and Bomb Pops in

But even if millennials are killing breakfast cereal, then it seems like more of a noble sacrifice for a

We're at the epicenter of a Quakerquake. Much like the seismic phenomenon from which it draws its name, a Quakerquake is a tough to predict event that really shakes up the norm. It occurs when Quaker, on a whim, decides to release an onslaught of new products—often of

My first experience with one of Shredded Wheat's new trilogy of flavors, which not-so-subtly tries top compete with Frosted Mini-Wheats by, well, frosting the brand's iconic miniature wheat biscuits and stuffing (allegedly) flavorful stuff inside, was cosmically bland. I swore I wouldn't try another flavor. I started
- [Spooned & Spotted (Australia): Despicable Me Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-australia-despicable-me-cereal/) - Hey, remember just last week when I chatted nerdishly about how a trip across the border, equator, or prime meridian can drastically change the nature of a familiar cereal? It is happening again. Never thought I'd quote Twin Peaks in a post about Minions, but here we are. If there's a fan art mash-up of

And Your Stomach!](https://www.cerealously.net/news-cinnamon-toast-crunch-bites-are-coming-soon-to-the-freezer-aisle-and-your-stomach/) - (Update: We reviewed Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bites!) I go nuts, you go nuts, we all go nuts for bite-sized, Cinnamon Toast Crunch-encrusted doughnuts!

Now in the year 2017, Lucky the Leprechaun is doing him one better, with a new Lucky Charms cereal boasting three new rainbow marshmallows. And

And I don't mean Turbo the snail, either. We all agreed to never talk about that movie again. Sorry if I sound a little sour—the dog days of summer are

Purple Doritos? Purple ketchup? That'll be the day! Oh, what's that? You say all four of those things have existed before? Deep down, I knew it all along. After all, I was (and pretty much still am) that weirdo kid who would've happily dipped his purple Doritos in purple ketchup had

Traditionally lumped with Basic 4 and Raisin Nut Bran in the odd pantheon of "General Mills Cereals That Are Really But No One Talks About Them," Oatmeal Crisp is a decadent cereal featuring toasted oatmeal flakes

Before 2016, we rarely saw the milk-stuffed tropical sphere appear at breakfast time—unless we watched Monty Python's Holy Grail while eating our Saturday morning munchies—but now it seems like every Girl Scout, superfood, and massive

Is that where young folks who like to eat breakfast like senior citizens go when they die? If so, the whatever higher power is up there can hurry up and smite me, because there's nothing I secretly love more than eating bowls full

Yes, everyone, their grandma, and their hyperintelligent pet ape who will one day overthrow

Rarer than other fruity flavors like coconut and banana, but more common than some of my nonexistent dream flavors like gingerbread, cheesecake, or zucchini bread (my imagination shoots for the stars), peach has seen just a couple cobbled-together cereals in its history.

No, while the most famous chocolate and peanut butter cereal is a sugary smorgasbord of twinkling cocoa spheres, downright pedestrian peanut butter puffs, and the persistent spirit of a million Saturday morning memories, the granola gourmands at Nature's Path have conspired in their organically all-natural gluten-free ivory tower to produce

Google seems to think there isn't one, but my heart tells me otherwise. To me, a cinnamon roll could mean anything from a half-eaten Cinnabon dropped on an airport floor to

Drink it in, folks: Cocoa Puffs Ice Cream Scoops, the first (American*) neapolitan cereal, is here. Err, perhaps "drink it in" isn't fitting enough. "Lick it in"? "Cone it in"? "Do everything but bite it in because you have sensitive teeth and a chronically frozen brain"? It

The Burger King does not take sides. The Burger King's only sworn loyalty is to deliciousness. See, after the meaty monarch released a delightful Froot Loops Shake just 2 months ago, I would have expected him to launch a whole line of Kellogg's milkshakes

Picture me saying that in my best Sheev Palpatine voice, because I really am serious about syrup. Maple is tied with gingerbread and second only to PB&J on my list of favorite sweet flavors, so while the news about General Mills's new Maple Cheerios, released in Canada to celebrate

And just like that, Canada takes the lead! I swear, 2017 so far has just been a back-and-forth battle between the U.S. and Canada to see who can release the coolest cereal exclusives.

Post Shredded Wheat has been around for a while, but until now, Shredded Wheat hasn’t exactly been the more exciting brand of thatched wheat biscuits. Somehow, kids prefer Frosted Mini-Wheats' caked-on frosting and oceans of saccharine detritus in their cereal boxes over sugar-free bran and glisteningly sticky

One day, humanity will inevitably go too far and causes its own extinction by putting too much x-treme nacho cheese flavor into a single corn chip or attempting an Oreo flavor that tastes like God's leftovers. When our food science hubris causes our downfall, I still
- [A Tiny Toast Eulogy in 10 Tweets](https://www.cerealously.net/a-tiny-toast-eulogy-in-10-tweets/) - It turns out reports of Tiny Toast's death have not been greatly exaggerated. The brand of crunchy, strawberry and blueberry-flavored mini-loaves has been officially absorbed into the Toast Crunch family of cereals, as General Mills and many suddenly cereal-happy media outlets (after the Oreo O's news, no one's sleeping on everyone's favorite wake-up foodstuff anymore) are now reporting.

Post, the Honey Bunch-slinging, Oreo O's-reviving parent company of Malt-O-Meal, has announced that even after launching Madagascar S'mores Jungle Party, Canadian S'Mores Cereal, and Malt-O-Meal S'mores, they'll be raising a toast(ed marshmallow) to

Apparently it's really common to stuff blueberries and lemon juice into moist bricks of pound cake so dense they could K.O. passing construction workers if not properly secured to the kitchen table. And even though Starbucks has apparently never sold blueberry-lemon loaf next to the register

And Post's new Trolls Rainbow Crunch cereal is living proof. No, I don't that movie cereals taste like salmon and ruin your campsite. Rather, they just like to hibernate—for very long periods of time. See, back in cereal's Golden Age, movie cereals had heart: fortified heart. From double-crunching C-3PO's to Reese's Pieces-flavored

At first glance, that's what the "debut" of "new" "Strawberry Toast Crunch" and "Blueberry Toast Crunch" would seem to "indicate." Whoops, I don't think I needed those last snarky quotation marks. Reader Sydney N. kindly sent us the above snapshot from Walmart, which shows the adorably fruit-speckled bread slices we've known as

- [Review: New and Improved Alpha-Bits Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-new-and-improved-alpha-bits-cereal/) - The year is 20xx. Innovation is dead. No new cereals are ever released. Instead, every old brand keeps releasing "New and Improved" versions that buff their old selves with unnecessary flavor and cosmetic improvements. Froot Loops now contains "100% more Froot Jooce" and comes in colors only visible to the hyper-photoreceptive mantis shrimp. Waffle Crisp

- [Review: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Oatmeal (Canada)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-cinnamon-toast-crunch-oatmeal-canada/) - Can you see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Instant Oatmeal—or as some call it in Canada: "Croque Cannele Gruau Instantané?" Of course: it's got cinnamon sugar amorphous globs in every bite! It's the taste you can see...still sticking to your ceiling three weeks later if you fling it hard enough. Wait, wait—that's
- [Review: Lucky Charms Oatmeal (Canada)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-lucky-charms-oatmeal-canada/) - This may not be canon, but I believe General Mills' new Canada-only Lucky Charms Oatmeal is from an alternate timeline in the cereal universe. In this truly darkest timeline, those cartoon kids who cheerfully steal Lucky the Leprechaun's sugary breakfast aren't motivated by hunger or anything rational. No, these serial cereal sociopaths take Lucky's marshmallowy horseshoes

Well wonder no longer: assuming you have a passport or Canadian citizenship. Because Maple Cheerios—baffling stylized as Cheerios Maple—has quietly dripped onto Canadian shelves as smoothly as syrup through a spigot. It's a Special Edition flavor

It's a traditional and totally not-made-up sandwich native to North North America that remixes Mr. Presley's favorite peanut butter and banana sandwich by swapping George Washington Carver's creamy (or chunky, choosy moms don't discriminate) legume spread with the sticky sweet life blood of Canada's flag-starring national tree.

Take the Brown Sugar Cinnamons, for example. From Kellogg's to Kroger, every brand under the toaster oven's warming sun has a unique take on Brown Sugar Cinnamon, but they all taste different. Sometimes, I like to try connecting each doughy rectangle on an imaginary family tree. You have the OG pastry,

Because starting with Trader Joe's new Strawberry Raspberry Oatmeal, this site will now be exclusively about oatmeal. Keeping with our inquisitive theme, I will soon be changing the site's name to "Oatmeally?" After cutting the roof of my mouth one too many times on Crunch Berries, I've vowed to give up The Breakfast

Long-overshadowed by strawberry, the people's champion, and grape, its cheaper taste analogue, cherry has been trapped in a breakfast aisle pitfall for decades. Sure, there's Frute Brute, who's currently trapped in General Mills's monster mausoleum for...well...ever, probably. And there are Cherry Pop-Tarts, who go unnoticed like the rosy-cheeked nerd girl in every teen movie

You may get exclusive, drool-worthy Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Oatmeals, but we here in the States are getting our own cereal-oat hybrid with new Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch granolas!

Or as it's known in the cereal community, "Unofficial But Pretty Much Official Lucky Charms Day!"

I'll answer that question with a question: why am I getting defensive about hypothetical questions that no one's actually asking? The real reason I'm giving Special K's new(ish) Caramel Nut Protein Bites a spotlighted review is because, after January's firestorm of new cereals—which featured adaptations

I've reviewed cereal bars before. But not until today have the two joined forces for a tasty crossover that's more satisfying than The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters, and The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour combined. You'll notice that I've never reviewed granola bars, either. That's because raw oats are simply one step of

As I mentioned in my recent review, Krave is a cereal with nearly limitless potential for awesome flavor fillings, a potential that's been largely (and tragically) unrealized in America while European Krave lets its freaky flavor flag fly. General Mills's iconic peanut butter puffs are the same way. As

Its semi-hollow, chocolate-striped biscuits could be filled with any number of wacky tastes. Krave could pair the chocolate with a peanut butter ribbon, pipette some strawberry filling in there for Valentine's Day, layer on some banana for Elvis Presley's birthday, or heck: just dip every pillowy

With their increased peanut butter to chocolate ratio, Reese's Eggs, Pumpkins, and even their lumpishly deformed Trees are tastier than their ridged, circular ancestors. I'm hoping the same principle of shapely tastiness applies to General Mills's upcoming Reese's Puffs Bunnies,

But thanks to a close friend of mine named Wick
- [Re-Review: Trader Joe's Pumpkin O's Cereal (2016)](https://www.cerealously.net/re-review-trader-joes-pumpkin-os-cereal-2016/) - As the "days until Halloween" counter drips lower than fake blood from a vampire Basset Hound's mouth, I think I still have enough spice in my own blood to crank out one more pumpkin cereal review. Besides my annual Monster Cereal analyses, I usually don't like to re-review the same product multiple years in a
- [Review: Boo Berry Monster Cereal (2016)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-boo-berry-monster-cereal-2016/) - There's only a week left until Halloween, but while everybody else in the world is taping fake cobwebs to their walls and putting the finishing touches on their Pokémon Go-inspired "Sexy Pikachu" costumes, I'm sitting here gazing at a bowl of Boo Berry cereal. More specifically, I'm wondering why there's never been a movie tie-in
- [Spooned & Spotted: Kellogg's Disney Moana Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-kelloggs-disney-moana-cereal/) - (Image via Target & Kellogg's) I know nothing about Disney's upcoming Moana movie, but Kellogg's latest cereal tie-in with the film still sends my imagination spinning. What if Kellogg's played off the movie's island setting and made this cereal's crunchy swirls coconut-flavored? What if the orange sun marshmallows taste like mangoes? And what if there's a mail away
- [Classic Review: Cap'n Crunch's Sprinkled Donut Crunch](https://www.cerealously.net/classic-review-capn-crunchs-sprinkled-donut-crunch/) - I love you, Cap'n Crunch, so I'm willing to forgive you for omitting the "ugh" from the name of your Sprinkled Donut Crunch cereal. See, I'm a doughnut purist. Whether it's the word's languid length or its simple, old-world charm, "doughnut" just pleases my eyeballs more than the comparatively blunt "donut" ever could. And for all those

It's been a while since we last checked in with our friend Gabe Fonseca's Cereal Time YouTube series—which spotlights a different cereal each week in a fun and nostalgic way. Decades from now, Breakfast History 101 professors

- [Review: Trader Joe's Pecan Pumpkin Oatmeal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-trader-joes-pecan-pumpkin-oatmeal/) - I'm 3 packets deep into my box of Trader Joe's Pecan Pumpkin Oatmeal, yet I can't stop thinking about Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe this is actually some grand, Illuminati-level conspiracy between Trader Joe and Cheesasaurus Rex, but every bite of TJ's soft, sopping, and starchy Pecan Pumpkin Oatmeal tastes like mashed-up
- [Review: Kellogg's Limited Edition Chocolate Frosted Flakes with Skeleton Marshmallows](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-limited-edition-chocolate-frosted-flakes-with-skeleton-marshmallows/) - The world would be a much happier place if there were skeleton-shaped things in every food. Spaghetti with skeleton meatballs. Pistachios with skull-shaped nuts inside every shell. Or here's a really crazy one: chicken wings with actual bones in the middle! Wait: one of those things is not quite like the others. But it doesn't
- [Review: Erewhon Simply Vanilla Granola](https://www.cerealously.net/review-erewhon-simply-vanilla-granola/) - Another day, another free granola sample from Attune Foods that I'll happily review because it means I didn't have to pay for my own breakfast. But as usual, receiving my morning meal via USPS doesn't mean that I'll be pulling any punches or crunches when taste testing. I accept all free samples, but I give no free
- [Spooned & Spotted (Europe): Nestlé Lion Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-europe-nestle-lion-cereal/) - Cerealously's European readers are probably familiar with Lion Cereal, but hungry Americans like me are roaring with jealousy, because an entire Atlantic Ocean separates us from chocolatey, caramel-y breakfast happiness. Longtime Spooned & Spotter Marc P. sent in the above photo of a Lion Cereal box he procured on a trip to Copenhagen, and if
- [Review: Franken Berry Monster Cereal (2016)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-franken-berry-monster-cereal-2016/) - Poor Franken Berry. Our strawberry-flavored, lumpy headed friend is constantly overshadowed by Count Chocula's mainstream appeal and Boo Berry's cult appeal. Despite the fact that he's a big pink creature, Franken Berry's really more like the black sheep of the Monster Cereal family. But that's why I love Frank so much. He's an outsider's outsider. He's a

It is nostalgia-themed, though, and Halloween is a season of eternal nostalgia draped in a thin veil of sheet ghosts and dollar store cobwebs. There's no better way to ring in the Month of Spook than by reviewing a cereal that's as golden as the

- [Review: Erewhon Cinnamon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-erewhon-cinnamon-crispy-brown-rice-cereal/) - How has there never been a Cinnamon Rice Krispies cereal before? Okay, technically there was an Apple Cinnamon Rice Krispies in the mid-'90s, and I'm sure it tasted like a rad, cracklin' apple crumble. But a full-blooded, spicy-sweet Cinnamon Rice Krispies cereal? Nope: there's no mention of that in my cereal history book. But we all know

It says it right on the box! I promise, I am not a monster!" I shout to the non-existent critics who haunt my nightmares and claim that my breakfast cereal blog has strayed too far from its flaky roots. I'm not going to feel bad about reviewing Trader Joe's conversationally

Now that Quaker's new-for-2016 Breakfast Flats—which come in Cranberry Almond, Banana Honey Nut, and Golden Raisin Cinnamon—are on shelves, you probably hear that phrase around all the time. Or more likely, you've probably never heard it, since I just made it up. Plus, no one has used
- [Review: Peace Cereal Maple Pecan Granola](https://www.cerealously.net/review-peace-cereal-maple-pecan-granola/) - Pumpkin dominates fall. Gingerbread and peppermint have a stranglehold on winter, while sugar cookie and eggnog watch on with buttered jealousy. Carrot cake has carved out a weird spring niche. Strawberry, s'mores, and good ol' American apple pie vie for summer dominance. So many flavors have seasonal attachments. But where does maple belong? Maple has

You sit down at an uncomfortable wooden table, and tear open your hyper-crinkly brown bag while you wait for your friends to come back from the hot lunch line with their spicy chicken sandwiches and Bosco breadsticks. You're more than a little jealous of them, but

So why is my breakfast blog reviewing these new Pumpkin Spice Nutri-Grain bars? Well first, the box does call them "breakfast bars." And second, they're listed as "Limited Batch," which is a much cuter, more exclusive, and more alluring term than "Limited Edition." But most of all,

Whether you're gazing at geodes in a museum, winning a piece of the Aggro Crag on Nickelodeon GUTS, or simply throwing things in the quarry with Creed from The Office, chunks of rock are versatile and fun. And edible chunks of rock are delicious, too. Fruity Pebbles, rock candy, chocolate-covered rocks, and

Okay, I'm really glad Barbara's didn't try to incorporate cheeky wordplay into the name of their new Pumpkin Puffins cereal, because it's the kind of pun that looks like it could work, but should probably be outlawed by the U.N.'s International Tribune on Wordplay Sanctions. Or should I call them the P.U.N.? But I digress.

Dwarfing the Froot Loops and Cheerios like a corn-filled Tower of Babel, Cap'n Crunch's new Caramel Popcorn Crunch is tall. So tall, in fact, that I have to lay the box horizontally just to complete my game of cupboard Tetris. So if

You're probably sick of seeing these little yellow dudes everywhere.

M&M's slaps eye grease and jerseys on their famous spokescandies. Pepsi erects giant cyborg quarterbacks made out of cardboard and 12-packs for grocery store displays. But Cap'n Crunch? He releases an entire football themed cereal! It's called Cap'n Crunch's Touchdown Crunch cereal, and it was first introduced in 2009. However, there's

During the early 2000s, those cookies 'n' creme flavored O's were as meaningful to me as wedding rings.

The first fully functional bread slicer came in 1928. And in 2016, General Mills released Tiny Toast cereal.

"That's what all the people crunch. You eat it dry in April, with milk in May. But I know I'm gonna change that tune, when it's all soggy—all soggy in June." Okay,

Can Nature Valley's new Raisin Oat Clusters help bring it from its Cro-Magnon hunch to an upright state? See, bran flakes with raisins is one of cereal's oldest traditions, dating all the way back to Skinner's Raisin Bran. But while species of Toast Crunch cereal evolved from swirled squares to

Why is that? Because monster cereals are back, baby! Even though it's only mid-September, and people haven't even

This time around, Marshmallow Fruity Pebbles is our guest of honor. Marshmallow Monday is a day to honor all of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's millions of children, who must soldier on as orphans in s'mores and cereal aisles alike, with only charred memories of their long exploded

There are several s'mores flavored cereals out there, and thanks to Canadian cereal fan Jas A. (thanks for the photo, Jas!), we now know that Post has tossed their milk caps into the arena,

Then how come Kashi's new Dark Cocoa Karma shredded wheat cereal comes as a square, and not a round loop? Looks like you really missed a chance to tie your tasty breakfast offerings into the cyclical nature of moral interchange, Kashi. That's okay. I'm

We've had Peanut Butter Crunch. We've munched a baker's dozen bowls of Sprinkled Donut Crunch. Heck, we've even consumed an XL, family-sized movie theater tub of Caramel Popcorn Crunch. If Cap'n Crunch has endorsed it, we've eaten it. So what will the Cap'n debut next

- [Review: Skinner's Raisin Bran from Uncle Sam](https://www.cerealously.net/review-skinners-raisin-bran-from-uncle-sam/) - Raisin bran cereals are the oatmeal raisin cookies of the cereal world. Now I'm not just talking about the ingredients, because that's certainly not a hard comparison to make. What I mean is that raisin bran cereals are the breakfast aisle underdogs. Just like how oatmeal raisin is so often overshadowed by chocolate chip—its suave,

They must have been successful, too, because now we're getting two more! Raisin Oat Clusters and Chocolate Oat Bites are joining Chocolate Oat Clusters, Baked Oat Bites, and Honey Oat Clusters, all debuted earlier this year from General Mills' resident granola-smiths at Nature Valley. If my experiences

And while I may be about a month late on the "autumnal apple cinnamon" trend, I thought I'd toss out another oatmeal review for all of you out there who want to snuggle up by the fire
- [Guest Review: Kellogg's Froot Loops Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/guest-review-kelloggs-froot-loops-cereal/) - I have a contentious relationship with change. Change is what replaced the Saturday morning adventures of TJ Detweiler, Pepper Ann Pearson, and Doug Funny with 10-year-old infomercials for the NuWave Oven. Change is what forced out totally believable, badass bad guys like Grand Moff Tarkin in favor of obnoxiously nasally Disney spinoff characters. Change made

Right, right: Nabisco's new Fruity Crisp Oreos aren't officially licensed Fruity Pebbles cookies, nor do they even say the word "cereal" on the front. But we all know "Fun, colorful rice crisps" is just Oreo's way of keeping Fred and Barney from filing a lawsuit. It's like how Kellogg's has "Cookies &

No, not that kind of moving, though it does boast 24% of my daily recommended fiber per serving. No, I mean moving moving. While I may look like a hip and spry youngster, as soon as I pour my morning bowl of Raisin Bran cereal and cup

What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys? A barrel of root beer, of course! And what's more fun than a barrel of root beer? Cramming it inside your morning toaster pastry! Earlier this year we reported that Orange Crush and root beer flavored

Just two days ago, we shared a picture of Kellogg's upcoming A&W Root Beer flavored Pop-Tarts. Our source for that photo, reader and redditor /u/boyfoster, claimed that Caramel Apple Pop-Tarts were on the way, too. And now we have visual proof of that wonderful fact, as boyfoster sent in this
- [Review: Quaker Corn Bran Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-quaker-corn-bran-crunch-cereal/) - Corn Bran Crunch may just be the most underrated cereal of all time. There: that needed to be said. This cereal deserves more fame and attention. With an uninspired box design and a generic name that sounds like a bootleg arcade game at a rural Chuck E. Cheese, Corn Bran Crunch usually doesn't stand a chance against
- [Review: Limited Edition Strawberry Cheerios](https://www.cerealously.net/review-limited-edition-strawberry-cheerios/) - Strawberries. Forget April showers, May flowers, and June TV re-runs of Austin Powers, because strawberries are the real harbingers of summertime. Strawberries! Whether it's the rosy pink of an artificial strawberry or the screaming scarlet of the real thing, the color of strawberry related things is enough to make my blood run red. Oh, wait...it always does that.
- [Review: Nature's Path Organic Sunrise Crunchy Maple Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/natures-path-sunrise-crunchy-maple/) - I can't resist a maple cereal, especially one that's made with real maple syrup like Nature's Path Organic's gluten free Sunrise Crunchy Maple. How much do I love maple syrup? Well let's just say that I would willingly abandon my human body if it meant transplanting my brain into a robot that runs on a

As someone who collects Pop-Tarts like they're sugary pastry trading cards (picture me sliding a Frosted Strawberry into a Yu-Gi-Oh duel disk), I agree that I should have had this review up eons ago.
- [Three of the Best Cereal Commercials on TV Now](https://www.cerealously.net/three-of-the-best-cereal-commercials-on-tv-now/) - Cereal isn't all about the sugary flakes and crunchy rings. It's about the culture, too. Of course, since you're reading a cereal blog, I probably don't need to tell you that. From the colorful characters to the mail-in premiums and games on the back of the box, there's a good reason breakfast cereal has stood the test
- [Review: Coffee Cereal — Original & Café Mocha](https://www.cerealously.net/review-coffee-cereal-original-mocha/) - Now this is a fun one, cereal fans. I've been meaning to try Coffee Cereal for a long time: long before I even knew it actually existed. See, back in high school, I was given one of those clichéd school projects, the kind you see Urkel and the Olsen twins struggle with on '90s sitcoms.

(UPDATE: I reviewed both flavors: Frosted A&W Root Beer Pop-Tarts and Crush Orange Pop-Tarts!) Snap! Crackle! Pop! Nope, I'm not talking about the Rice Krispies mascots. I'm talking about actual soda pop-flavored Pop-Tarts based on popular carbonated drink varieties! As part of a recent cost-cutting effort
- [Review: Kellogg's Frosted Crush Orange Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-frosted-crush-orange-pop-tarts/) - I wish Kellogg's two new "Soda-licious" Pop-Tarts (Crush Orange and A&W Root Beer) were released in 2020. Why? Because that's when the new Godzilla vs. Kong film is set to debut, and these two flavors would be the perfect movie tie-in. I can see it now: Kong's Gorilla Sarsaparilla Pop-Tarts vs. Godzilla's Atomic Crush Orange Pop-Tarts.
- [Review: Kellogg's Frosted A&W Root Beer Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-frosted-aw-root-beer-pop-tarts/) - Alongside Crush Orange, A&W Root Beer is one of two new "Soda-licious" Pop-Tart flavors!

If you answered "yes," then you might be one of the many anti-branners out there who spurns cereals like Bran Flakes and Raisin Bran for being bland and boring. As seen in the cereal's first advertising campaign, Cracklin' Oat Bran
- [Review: Kroger Peanut Butter Chip Mates Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kroger-peanut-butter-chip-mates-cereal/) - Seriously guys, we have to talk about Peanut Butter Chip Mates. Generic brand cereals are often seen as the crunchy butts of every breakfast table joke (I just wanted to type the phrase "crunchy butts"). Even though they are the breakfast of champions on a budget, these obvious rip-offs have goofy names like "Honey-Nut Scooters" and "Crispy

Although Star Wars Day comes every year on May 4th, corporate Twitter accounts from Hostess to Little Caesars continue to nauseatingly repeat the exact same "May the Fourth be with you" joke all across Twitter and Facebook. Bringing some substance

- [Review: Post Grape-Nuts Flakes](https://www.cerealously.net/review-post-grape-nuts-flakes/) - Oh, Grape-Nuts: you go by many names in my household, from "mouth gravel" to "rugged nuggets." But most of us just call you "ow!" because the strength of your molar-cracking crunchiness would make the Incredible Hulk blush. Post must have realized that Grape-Nuts were unfairly lining the pockets of dentists everywhere, which is why we have Grape Nuts Flakes.
- [Review: Cocoa Puffs (Now With 50% More Real Cocoa)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-cocoa-puffs-now-with-50-more-real-cocoa/) - That's a bold claim, Cocoa Puffs. I mean, you could've just said "now with more chocolatey taste!" or called the cereal "SUPER Cocoa Puffs," but you chose to drop some hard stats on us. Exactly 50% more cocoa, eh? Alright, if you say so: I better go 50% more cuckoo for these. And trust me, I
- [Review: Madagascar Cookie Dough-licious Oatmeal from MOM Brands](https://www.cerealously.net/review-madagascar-cookie-dough-licious-oatmeal-from-mom-brands/) - Confession time: I am an absolute cookie dough warrior. I don't even like baked chocolate chip cookies that much (oatmeal raisin has my heart), because I'd much rather eat an entire bowl of raw, doughy goodness than watch it all go to waste in an oven. If I'm killed by salmonella some day, then you'll know I died
- [Review: Kellogg's Krave S'Mores](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-krave-smores/) - So this is what Smorz died for? Of course, Smorz was resurrected this January through some happy cereal voodoo, but times were darker before then. When Kellogg's announced in 2013 that Smorz was being replaced by Krave S'Mores after 10 years as a fan favorite, tempers were more fiery than a misplaced campfire marshmallow. Smorz fans everywhere

So while we wait for me to track down those new Strawberry Cheerios, while we wait a little longer for this summer's Strawberry Tiny Toast, and while we wait even longer for Franken Berry to awaken from his 11 month hibernation, let's start with a classic strawberry appetizer!

When I talk about moments that really got me into cereal—not just cereal as a food, but cereal as a culture, hobby, and lifestyle—my discovery of Chex Quest is always one of them. It was one of those summer days when it's hot enough to make

This means that summer, s'mores, subsequent spooky stories, and other things that start with "s" are on their way. So right after I track down that lying groundhog who predicted an early spring, I'm going to load up on graham crackers, chocolate bars, marshmallows, and first

Do you feel your friendships would be stronger if your faces were all smushed uncomfortably close together?

Get ready for Flax Spice Lattes, Flax-scented hand soap, and flax-o-lantern seed carving contests. Okay, I definitely just made up "flax season" for the purposes of this review, but it makes sense. If we eat healthy things with flax in them now, when it's

And despite all the bowlfuls of M&M's Minis I've sucked down over the years, M&M's never have been a cereal, either. But before you report me to the cops for reviewing something on this blog wholly unrelated to breakfast, hear me out. When I say "Honey Nut," what's

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I spoil the verdict of this review by saying that? Oops. I guess I was just distracted by the fact that these are the greatest Frosted Mini-Wheats ever made. I typically review new cereals on this blog, but I always make exceptions for

"I'm the Son of Krypton, the Man of Steel! I'm impervious to bullets and faster than a speeding one. You're only a man. How can you ever hope to stop me?" Batman's eyes glow as he pulls a glimmering, foil-wrapped rectangle from his

That's right, General Mills' new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles joins the proud lineage of cereals shaped like grinning faces, which includes Kaboom, Cabbage Patch Kids Cereal, and even another Canada-exclusive TMNT cereal from back in the day. There's something about carnivorously devouring cereal smileys that's sadistically satisfying. It's probably

But by flinging gobs of oatmeal into your toaster, you can make an even better breakfast food: Toasted Oatmeal Flakes! (Note: this is probably not how Toasted Oatmeal Flakes are made. This is probably how "Toasted Kitchen Curtains" are made, though.) Before this weekend, I

Instead of "cheddar," we get "Trader Joe's Oakwood Cold Smoked English Cheddar Cheese." Where others would buy "ravioli," we buy "Trader Giotto's Arugula & Parmigiano Reggiano Ravioli." If Trader Joe's sold omelettes, I swear they'd call them

I can't recommend mixing both together, but if you alternate swigs and spoonfuls, I won't tell anyone. What I can recommend is Lucky Charms' Limited Edition Green Clover & Gold Coin Marshmallows cereal, specially released for this season of emerald and jade. The name

Since the entire philosophical foundation of the cereal is "magically delicious marshmallows served with a smile by a cherubic leprechaun," it's no surprise that the brand is doing something special for March 17th's upcoming day of green. Sadly, my idea for a hybrid Lucky Charms/Shamrock Shake

No, this new battle is one of

With not one, but two—count 'em—two (2) exclamation points! That's how you know Kellogg's means business.

Most people either think it tastes like dog food, or they wolf it down like hungry canines at chow time. Personally, I love the stuff...with milk. When munched straight out of the box, Krave is usually too bland and mealy for my

All the magic of cereal distilled and molded like sugary Play-Doh into portable, rectangular chunks? They're the next best thing to carrying around a heart-shaped locket with Toucan Sam's face inside. At the same time, I yearn for a simpler era of breakfast bars. I

Imagine them hypnotically spinning: spinning, twirling, and careening down into your cereal bowl. You're getting very, very hungry. It's been a relatively slow month for new cereal, so while I continue eagerly hunting for Post's new Marshmallow Pebbles, I think it's time I gave a cinnamon-seasoned cereal veteran a proper

You feel more rested than usual, and as you look at the clock and experience a mild heart attack, you realize why—you slept through your alarm! After dancing your way through a frantic shower (no one'll notice the shampoo still dripping from your ears, right?) and flailing
- [Review: LOVE GROWN FOODS Chocolate Comet Crispies, Fruity Sea Stars, and Blueberry Vanilla Polar Puffs Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/lovegrownfoods_kids_cereals/) - Who needs Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or The Dark Knight when you can have edible cereal trilogies? After all, the "One Ring to rule them all" has nothing on the sugary loops of Frosted Cheerios. Forget "ruling:" I'd rather be drooling. And speaking of cereal trilogies, coming soon to a pantry near you is LOVE GROWN
- [Review: Nature Valley Honey Oat Clusters Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/nature-valley-honey-oat-clusters/) - Nature Valley is on a hot streak. With the delicious Chocolate Oat Clusters and Baked Oat Bites already under their granola-crumb encrusted belt, will Nature Valley be able to bowl a turkey, score a hat trick, and direct a fitting end to their trilogy of new 2016 cereals? This box of Honey Oat Clusters holds the answer

Annie's Homegrown and General Mills have just announced the launch of three new USDA certified organic breakfast cereals. From soup, to yogurt, to crackers, Annie's has a bigger product line than a litter of rabbits. They even had a
- [Review: French Toast Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-french-toast-crunch/) - French Toast Crunch is a rare breed in the winding history of cereal, and its storyline seems more fitting for a series of Christopher Nolan movies than for a box of sweetened corn pieces. Upon its introduction in 1995, French Toast Crunch was a hero. Beloved by children, adults, seniors, dogs, and sea urchins (probably) alike
- [Review: Sweet Home Farm Maple Pecan Granola](https://www.cerealously.net/maplepecan_granola/) - The year is 2066. The Great Nut Pronunciation Civil War is in its darkest hour. The armies of "pih-cahn" are closing in on the forces of "pee-can." There was once a small tribe of heretics who insisted it was "pee-khan," but they were quickly laughed off the battlefield. Both sides have been assaulted, both have

New hobby: going into Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and counting the number of ways I hear "quinoa" mispronounced. It's amazing how many different Frankenstein's word monsters can be created with just three syllables. But I won't judge. After all, I'm
- [Review: Kellogg's Special K Nourish Coconut Cranberry Almond Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-special-k-nourish-coconut-cranberry-almond-cereal/) - You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up Put a lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up More beautiful musical poetry has never been written. Aside from making us existentially reconsider the frivolity of our corporeal existences, that
- [Special: A Look at New Star Wars Decal Cereal Prizes](https://www.cerealously.net/starwars-decals/) - Cereal boxes don't have enough prizes any more. Read that in an angry old man voice if you want to, but I miss the days when every cereal box bottom harbored some secret treasure: a wrist watch, a plastic toy, or perhaps even a Cap'n Crunch whistle that could be used for hacking phone lines.
- [Review: Kashi GoLean Honey Pecan Baklava Plant-Powered Bar](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kashi-golean-honey-pecan-baklava-plant-powered-bar/) - From cereal to oatmeal, muesli, cookies, fruit thingies, crackers, waffles, and even pizza, the products available from the grain-loving folks at Kashi are spread all over the map like grocery store Carmen Sandiegos. So while Kashi's cereal usually gets the most buzz, it's worth sharing the attention with some of the brands more interesting options for morning
- [Review: Peace Cereal Maple Buckwheat Hemp Supergrains Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-peace-cereal-maple-buckwheat-hemp-supergrains-cereal/) - From Reese's Pieces to Ben & Jerry's Peace Pops and Swedish Peacemärken, the idea of peace has brought us many delightful foods. Until Nabisco decides to release a line of "War-eo" double stuffed blood red sandwich cookies, I think the power of good will continue to dominate the snack aisle. And the breakfast aisle, too,

We've been long overdue for a Valentine's Day cereal, and now LOVE GROWN FOODS, the makers of several bean-based cereals, is paving the way with—correct me if I'm wrong—the first ever

Those who have been following the blog should be familiar with my love for
- [Review: Nature Valley Baked Oat Bites Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-nature-valley-baked-oat-bites-cereal/) - Why buy G.I. Joe when you can buy G.I. Joe With KUNG-FU Grip? Why watch Blade Runner when you can watch Blade Runner: The Final Cut with the original, full-length unicorn daydream sequence? And why in the name of all that is good and crunchy would you ever eat regular Oreos when Double Stuf Oreos exist? Such

Monday)? Well all of my fellow human Garfields out there need not despair, because thanks to the latest two videos in cereal MVP Gabe Fonseca's YouTube series, you can see a whole bowl full

When the Mini-Wheats attacked, Dan attempted to coax some sense of goodness out of the cough syrupy cranberry purée buried deep into each tumbleweed of a biscuit. But their mere kiss of yogurt flavor was not enough. As a result,

That's right, if you recall about 3 months ago, General Mills came up with a not-so-harebrained scheme to crowdsource a new Trix Rabbit. Cereal lovers everywhere were invited to send in picks of their aspiring little bunnies—bunnies who were hungrier for fame than they were carrots. And now the winner
- [Review: Kashi GoLean Clusters Vanilla Pepita](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kashi-golean-clusters-vanilla-pepita/) - Forget everything Schoolhouse Rock taught you: knowledge clearly isn't power...plants are! And bills don't spend their time anthropomorphically singing on the steps of the Capital Building, either, but that's a misconception for another time. Alright, I probably shouldn't mock knowledge. After all, I am in college so that I can be learnin' me them knowledges. But with

My review of Smorz can be found here! I reviewed Apple Raspberry Almond Special K Nourish here! Cranberry Harvest Delights Mini-Wheats and the ToGo Mixes have been reviewed, too!) If all goes well, once January 1st comes around, you won't even be able to say "Happy New Year,"
- [Review: Kellogg's ToGo Breakfast Mix: Cinnamon Roasted Candied Pecan and Salted Caramel & Praline Almond](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-togo-breakfast-mix/) - Unlike the product it's reviewing, this review of Kellogg's new ToGo Breakfast Mixes should not be enjoyed while driving. This review will not fit in your cupholder. And licking this review will not produce a savory cinnamon pecan flavor. So how are they similar? Well, both the breakfast mixes and this review probably shouldn't be submerged in milk. That's
- [Spooned & Spotted: Kellogg's Captain America Civil War Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-captain-america-civil-war-cereal/) - Confession: I haven't been watching all the Marvel movies that have been released over the past 5 years or so. In my defense, new superhero films seem to come out just as often as new cereals. So how can I be expected to keep up with both? What this means is that I don't have any cheeky, topical references to
- [News: Three New Kids Cereals from LOVE GROWN FOODS](https://www.cerealously.net/news-three-new-kids-cereals-from-love-grown-foods/) - Image via LOVE GROWN FOODS on Facebook (UPDATE: I reviewed all three cereals here!) Before you even ask it, allow me to answer your first question: yes, these cereals are made from beans. And your second question: no, from my experience, it's not as crazy as it may sound. Either way, all you real human
- [Review: Kashi Cacao Nib, Almond, & Coconut Overnight Muesli](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kashi-cacao-nib-almond-coconut-overnight-muesli/) - My soft food diet is over, and while I'm already planning my "welcome back" house party—which will feature bowls of chips, volleyball-sized lumps of Laffy Taffy, and an edible piñata—I figured I'd have one last mushy hurrah by reviewing a cereal(ish) product quite unlike any I've tried before. It's one of three mueslis (I bet
- [Review: Kellogg's Cranberry Mini-Wheats Harvest Delights Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-cranberry-mini-wheats-harvest-delights-cereal/) - Something about unfrosted Mini-Wheats make me uncomfortable. It's probably the thought of stuffing small hay bales down my throat that makes me irrationally itchy all over. I mean, Mini-Wheats always resemble tiny bales of hay, but at least when they put on their sugary clown makeup I can ignore my silly phobia and blissfully suck
- [Spooned & Spotted: Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters Returns!](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-honey-bunches-of-oats-with-chocolate-clusters/) - This is fate, friends. Just this week, I was melodramatically lamenting (in layman's terms: I whined and complained) Post's discontinuation of Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters some 6 years or so ago. And immediately, and I mean immediately after posting that review, Adam, a fellow cereal enthusiast, alerted me that Chocolate Honey Bunches were back, baby! Okay,
- [Review: ThinkThin Honey Peanut Butter Oatmeal](https://www.cerealously.net/review_thinkthin_honeypb_oatmeal/) - Being on a soft food diet sucks. But being a cereal review blogger on a soft food diet sucks harder than Starkiller Base on the energy of a sun. While I was able to stockpile several cereal reviews before undergoing this wretched tooth surgery, at the moment my palate has been forced to gum down meal after
- [Review: Nature Valley Chocolate Oat Clusters Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-nature-valley/) - We miss you, Honey Bunches of Oats with Real Chocolate Clusters. We miss you and wish you would come home. I've lost count of how many years have passed since Post took my favorite HBO variety from me (6 or 7, I think, though that's like a lifetime in cereal years). That cereal and I were meant
- [Spooned & Spotted: Batman vs. Superman Cereals](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-batman-vs-superman-cereals-coming-soon/) - (UPDATE: I reviewed both cereals here!) No Joker-ing around here, folks! Coming in just in time to promote the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie, General Mills has released two new cereals, one for each of the two titular heroes. So call Alfred over and have him pour you a bowl of Batman cereal, which has chocolate
- [Review: Kellogg's Jif PB&J Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-jif-pbj-cereal/) - Let me tell you a story, dear readers. The story of PB&J cereal. Introduced by Quaker in the late '80s, PB&J featured light brown peanut butter puff pieces accompanied by light magenta jelly puffs. Rumor has it that it only reached isolated test markets, and other conspiracy theorists doubt whether it existed at all. Either
- [Spooned & Spotted: Kellogg's Frozen Cereal (2016)](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-kelloggs-frozen-cereal-2016/) - Really? Another movie cereal with oat pieces and marshmallows? I understand the desire to stick to traditions, but c'mon, Kellogg's, can't you just...let it go? I apologize if I've made that awful joke before, but to be honest, I've never seen Frozen, so any jokes I make about it will have to be based off of that
- [Cereal Time with Gabe Fonseca: Shrek Cereal and "Cereal of the Month"](https://www.cerealously.net/cereal-time-with-gabe-fonseca-shrek-cereal-and-cereal-of-the-month/) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCrPP3Ahv_8 Stop right there, dear reader! Stop and check yourself! You better check yourself before you...Shrek yourself! And why is that? Because we would hate for you to miss the latest two entries in cereal maven Gabe Fonseca's Cereal Time YouTube series. His videos have more layers of fun and nostalgia than an onion, a
- [Spooned & Spotted: Kung Fu Panda 3 Po Power Crunch Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/spooned-spotted-kung-fu-panda-3-po-power-crunch-cereal/) - Thought #1: There have been three Kung Fu Panda movies now? Thought #2: Wait, this is just bootleg Cocoa Puffs with marshmallows? Don't we owe an ass-kicking panda more than that for saving our asses from all manner of cartoon animal villainy? Thought #3: For that matter, what do marshmallows that look like Shine Sprites have to
- [Review: Kellogg's Frosted Chocolatey Caramel Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-frosted-chocolatey-caramel-pop-tarts/) - Pop! Pop! Pop! Can you hear it? No, it's not the sound of tomorrow New Year's Eve fireworks and party poppers. And no, it's not your grumpy midwestern cousin who insists that it isn't called "soda." It's the sound of Kellogg's wild and wonderful Pop-Tart-O-Matic, which has been eagerly popping out new flavors directly into
- [Review: Kellogg's Frosted Watermelon Pop-Tarts](https://www.cerealously.net/review-kelloggs-frosted-watermelon-pop-tarts/) - Christmas is less than a week behind us. Even though snow is still falling, tacky wreaths are still hanging, and leftover stuffing is still being refrigerated, Kellogg's just released what might be their summeriest Pop-Tart yet (wait, "summeriest" is really a word? Saying it out loud makes me feel like a kindergartener who got vocabulary lessons from a
- [Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Cerealously!](https://www.cerealously.net/merry-christmas-and-happy-holidays-from-cerealously/) - Oh boy, my hands are covered in so much sticky coconut oil after assembling that photo, but it was worth it. For all of you! And while I'm sure most of you are rightfully too deep into your personal oceans of eggnog, presents, and merriment to bother reading a silly blog about cereal, if you happen to be
- [Review: Rice Krispies with Holiday Colors Cereal](https://www.cerealously.net/review-rice-krispies-with-holiday-colors/) - It's Christmas Eve Eve, or, as some call it: Christmas Adam. The icing smiles on my gingerbread men are drying, unaware of the gruesome fates that will soon befall them. My cat is snuggled under my tree, equally unaware that presents will soon be infringing on her pine-scented territory. And, of course, there's me, doing
- [Review: Cap'n Crunch's Christmas Crunch Cereal (2015)](https://www.cerealously.net/review-capn-crunchs-christmas-crunch-cereal-2015/) - I bet you expected me to start this review off with a snarky Christmas pun, right? Well to completely subvert your expectations, allow me to pose you a question: Do you remember that episode of Yu-Gi-Oh where the villainous Maximillion Pegasus traps Yugi's grandpa in soulless, unmoving card? Though I'm sure the majority response to my

I'm still trying to treat my tongue gingerly after the unexpected burn from the ginger land mines it had the misfortune to provoke while eating Trader Joe's Cranberry Gingerbread Granola earlier this week. But now the mysterious, faceless Trader Joe is serving up a steamy bowl of oats
