(UPDATE 9/15: My review of Cheerios Plus is live! Click here to read it!)
In a recent new product announcement from Cookie Crisp kingpins General Mills, one of the many showcased munchies was Cheerios Plus. Somehow, this idea managed to beat out our own concept for new Cheerios, “Cheerios Minus,” which would just be an empty box that grimly symbolizes the futile nature of our nihilistic reality.
Though it’s, sadly, a Canada exclusive, Cheerios Plus appears to be similar to America’s Cheerios Protein, pitching health-consciousness via buzzwords (but, of course, not as many buzzwords as Honey Nut Cheerios. Okay, even I wasn’t proud of that one).
However, it differs from Cheerios Protein in that it comes in a lean, plastic bag. I guess cardboard boxes just don’t flatter the natural curves of oat based cereals.
Cheerios Plus comes in Cinnamon Coconut and Honey Almond flavors, but since it’s only available to our northern neighbors, perhaps we can one day hope for a Canadian Bacon flavor.
If you’re from Canada, have you tried these? What’s the verdict?
If you’re from America, would you love to see this cereal cross the border? Why or why not?
We crave your feedback more than double chocolate Krave, so let us know in the comments below!
I tried the Cinnamon Coconut Cheerios Plus Flax and I loved it. I was and still am upset that it’s not on the shelves in the grocery stores anymore. I would very much like it to be back on the shelves at the grocery store for me to purchase please and thanks! If possible could it be made in a jumbo size bag or box as an option to purchase and be priced at $8.99 or $9.99 regular, the same as most of the other cereals in the grocery stores? I’m only asking because I only get 2 and a half bowls of cereal out of one bag and if it was in a bigger bag or box that would save me having to go to the grocery store as often to purchase more. Regardless, I would like it put back on the shelves in the grocery stores in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. Please and Thanks!
I so love these, they are very healthy and not that sweet, the coconut and cinnamon taste great together 🙂
I get this for $2 a bag at Dollarama. My fav is the Plus Protein. I have it with Almond milk. Really good.
We have tried the Cinnamon Coconut up here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and they are great!
I would not try Bacon flavour even if is existed and was free.
I haven’t tried them, but bet they are full of sugar. I like the plain Cheerio’s but have heard they have GMO’s so will have to find some other cereal to eat.
