  • Yep. ^^ That’s a real thing. I did not expect it to be good, but I try just about every new cereal, so I wasn’t about to pass on this one. Besides, I love Sour Patch kids. One of my favorite non-chocolate candies.

    It will not surprise you to learn that I was not wrong. This cereal is not good. But it’s not gross. It’s actually very intriguing. It’s like fruit loops coated in sour sugar. Not great in milk, but actually not bad by the handful.

    I had my entire family try some. Everyone enjoyed the novelty of it. Two of my kids even liked it. The rest of us didn’t love it, but kept eating it just to try to understand what we were experiencing.

    That said, there is no way anyone is choosing to eat this over the better cereals we have in the house. We have about half a box left, so this weekend I’m going to make some sour patch Krispy treats. I let you know how they taste.

        Yes. Honey Oh’s (aka Oh’s or Honey Graham Oh’s) have been discussed much. Great cereal. See a discussion above starting at post 223:

        I am sad.

        But they are really small boxes, I said.

        I love cold cereal in general, but now I am 8 months pregnant and it is pretty much the only thing I ever feel like eating. He's so mean.

          Wow, Surfah is a dick.

          My five year old has been eating these:




          I have yet to try them, but I will tomorrow. I don't have very high hopes for them.

              Not impressed. Didn't even bother to try it with milk.

                I've tried them and while I think you are overstating it, I generally agree; they are basically repurposed Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Same flavor, different shape. But, to your point, finding the right shape and texture is key for a great cereal. This is a prime example of how changing the surface area can change the way a flavor is experienced. These are definitely not as good as just plain ol' CTC, but I'd bet money that they use pretty much the same recipe.

                • Yeah, wasn’t too impressed with the Churros. At least make them taste somewhat different than CTC.

                    Probably true. I generally like CTC, and it didn't really taste that much different, but probably just had less sugar coating due to the reduced surface area.

                            Pretty much the only thing of value that I have gotten out of Lebowski's message board here is Oxcoug's tip of eating Wheat Chex with chocolate milk. Changed my life.

                            RIP Oxcoug.

                              I don't remember seeing that tip. I wouldn't have thought that would be a tasty combination. I like Wheat Chex and chocolate milk separately. I'll have to try them together.

                                which brand choc milk do you drink it with?
