Man, I’m really out of my league here.
See, I’m comfortable dwelling amongst the cereal greats, sharing so many of my breakfasts with Cap’n Crunch and Toucan Sam that I’m librariously well-versed in their extended universe lore. But now that the likes of Lucio and Deadpool—two characters whose narratives I can’t keep up with—start invading the cereal aisle?
Well then I feel like less of a cereal blogger and more of a cereal Facebook user’s grandma.
So I’ll happily tell you that the apparently much-desired Lucio Oh’s cereal will be coming soon in Sonic Vanilla flavor, but I can’t make any winking jokes or references about it—I’d try Googling it, but I don’t want to waste precious brain real estate currently occupied by Season 4 Simpsons quotes and obscure GameCube game memories.
Cubivore is at stake here!
While I predicted this would be an FYE cereal, even after researching Junk Food Aisle’s news, I couldn’t find any store news. The branding indicates Kellogg’s ownership, so perhaps it may hit wider store releases soon.
But what is coming to FYE? Almost definitely the first outwardly profane cereal—I hear the Cap’n swears like a soggy/groggy sailor, but that doesn’t count.
Deadpool $&!#% Flakes, which I can only assume totally translates to Deadpool Super Flakes, or perhaps Deadpool Shrek Flakes.
Farquad does sound explicit, after all.
Deadpool’s [PARENTAL ADVISORY] Flakes are already available on FYE’s site for a $&!#%-worthy price of $12.99. Suffice to say that as a non-fan who suspects these will just be sugary corn flakes—as is the FYE tradition of high art, low flavor collectible production—I may save my $12.99 for a binge buy of Pop-Tarts Bites.
Trust me, when I eat a bowl of them with milk, we’ll all get our money’s worth.
With the Lucio Oh’s, I actually tried some at Blizzcon 2018. They have the consistency of a more hearty Froot Loop but flavoring similar to Lucky Charms marshmallows. They’re amazing and divine, and definitely worth some mouth real estate in December!
There is even a free loot boost coming with Lucio O’hs! 😉
Need them! 😉
As “Gaming enthusiast” (yes, and overwatch player) and cereal head i love, that they made Lucio Oh’s real.
But since I’m not a cereal box collector (it would make a great addition as review for my blog though, especially because of the sonic vanilla flavor) i can pass on trying to get the cereal.
But still it’s great to see gaming/childhood icon tie-ins again on cereal boxes 🙂
CHEERS!
