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 do with Kung Fu Panda (the other marshmallows are panda heads and what appear to be yin yang symbols)?
Thought #4: What do normal people do on New Year’s Eve instead of standing in Walmart and making Nintendo references?
Thought #5, ten minutes later during the car ride home: Wait. Why didn’t they just call them Po-coa Puffs?

huh… it seems that special cereals (promotion through cereals) for animated movies or brands got kinda boring… as you mentioned… it seems always like an already existing brand/existing cereal is just getting the “marshmallow treatment” and et voila we have a “new cereal” all the kids want to eat for breakfast… i mean although i just read the ingredients list of moms “Chocolate Marshmallow Mateys”, compared them to cocoa puffs ingredients and had to realize, that the Chocolate Marshmallow Mateys have oat flour in it and not just corn flour like cocoa puffs… why the fu***** hell should i buy (probably) expensive panda themed cereal when i can have the same sensation just cheaper from the SAME firm… -.-
(THe last amazing movie themed cereal was probably Madagascar S’Mores Jungle Party Cereal which i definitely need to get my hands on; why didn’t i ask my friend to search for this cereal… instead i got cap’n crunch donut sprinkles -.- xD)
But while we’re at it:
In the US is corn (flour) THE ingredient for cereals. In europe you really have to search for corn as ingredient in cereals, it’s almost always wheat or something similar. A couple of days ago after aldi (yeah the discounter that is rising up in the US too ^^) kinda release their new collection of “copycat cereals” i had to realize that the brand i was buying my “cocoa puffs” from until now was using wheat for the little balls and aldi is using more corn flour. After checking the huge brands (kelloggs and nestle) it seemed that kelloggs is using corn for their “cocoa puffs” here too, but nestle is using wheat. Do you know if you have something similar too? GM is always using corn, but are brands that arent (maybe mom?) and how the cereals differ in taste? I’m just asking, ’cause it seems i like the cereals made with corn a lot more xD
(i really hope you are able to get what i want say/ask here ^^)
I’d definitely say there’s a balance between oat flour based cereals and corn flour based cereals (though the latter are probably favored), while the occasional rice flour cereal pops up now and again.
Thanks for the reply!
