It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Cereal

I had been waiting for a promotional junk cereal with great personal meaning to me, and now I've found it.

As a TV special, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown teaches us to believe that there's autumnal magic in a pumpkin patch.

As a cereal, this teaches us to believe in autumnal magic of puffy green and orange corn balls and marshmallows. I was hoping for pumpkin flavor in the cereal pieces, but they just kind of taste like Kix. But the marshmallows taste good, soft and not stale, whether dry or in milk.

I was glad to see an orange trail left in the milk when I finished.

So the autumnal magic comes at the end, just like in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Finding the cereal was elusive, and, like the Great Pumpkin, it popped up when I least expected it--in a grocery store in Okemah, Oklahoma.

Pebbles Shakeups

Is this the third cereal mashup I've tried or just a snack mix?

I came upon Pebbles Shakeups, a cereal snack mix that I immediately thought to eat as a cereal, not as a regular snack bag.

I saw the Pebbles boulders, the Waffle Crisp pieces and pretzel bits and thought cereal, a combination of two different cereals like Frosted Flakes with Froot Loops and Cocoa Puffs with Lucky Charms marshmallows.

Thus, I plunged into it with my spoon after pouring in milk. I glanced at the phrase "snack mix" on the bag while getting into my first bite and wondered, "Am I mistaken?"

But I plowed ahead. Salty flavors rarely enter cereals, perhaps because cereal lovers don't want that in their bowl. Salty pretzels mix poorly with milk. Also, the salt dissipates from the pretzel bits as they sit in milk.

Maybe in dry form, the pretzel bits work well with the Waffle Crisp, but in milk they seem to sap the syrupy flavor.

As a notion, Pebbles boulders are a stretch to claim that the birthday cake flavor fits into the Pebbles brand. Boulders are part of the Flintstone scene, but do they meaningfully add to the Pebbles cereal landscape?

Pebbles Boulders as a cereal had a limited edition run in the early 2010s, but I don't feel like the snack mix registers since that cereal hasn't been on shelves in a decade and an onslaught of specialty and limited edition cereals have been introduced in the last five years.

Maybe Post should try a Pebbles sediments cereal with clustered Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles similar to Rice Krispies Treats Cereal. Sedimentary rocks likely were uncommon in the age when the Flintstones took place, but I'm pretty sure birthdays were, too.

Tres Leches Toast Crunch

Sometimes a cereal nails a flavor as best as it can nail it in cereal form. General Mills pretty much does that with Tres Leches Toast Crunch.

I didn't expect the Cinnamon Toast Crunch family to grow this much after presenting French Toast Crunch and Apple Cinnamon Toast Crunch and later Chocolate Toast Cruch and the holiday classic Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch. But after the p.r. that was CinnaFuego Toast Crunch, the marketing team had to churn out more quality ideas.

As for this move, General Mills has presented both Tres Leches Toast Crunch and Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch, which I think are two names for the same type of cake. Someone with deeper familiarity with Latin American desserts may disagree.

On the other hand, some oblivious American consumer who sees all their Mexican restaurant experiences as a blur soaked in salsa, mole and margaritas might shrug, thinking it's all sweet food.

But if you try Tres Leches Toast Crunch with any of the three aforementioned liquids, you're doing it wrong. Tres Leches, the dessert, is soaked in three different kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk and regular milk. Maybe you could eat Tres Leches Toast Crunch in all three types of milk. Like a normie, I only ate it with skim milk. Recipes call for whole milk. I guess the Nicaraguans who are fifth generation descendants of the original Tres Leches makers would consider skim milk weak.

Tres Leches Toast Crunch is made with rice flour and cinnamon, which help bring out the flavor. The ingredient list says it has caramel color, which brings it the rest of the way. If you know that you can make caramel by heating condensed milk on the stove, it's that much easier to figure out.

I don't think with the efficiencies of cereal production, General Mills soaked this in all three milks, but you can. Maybe I will later, and I will let you know.

Until the next box, I'm out here eating like a normie, worried about wasting a can of condensed milk, even though it doesn't cost much.

Cinnabon Cereal

At least since I was in college, I've admired the cinnamon roll. Tis a beautifully crafted work of dough, layers of cinnamon wrapped around said dough before the dough spirals around and then the lovely icing that tops it off.

I don't know if it would be complete without the icing. Some try to complete the cinnamon roll without that part, but it's practically a deformity, even if it's a cinnamon roll in a container that smushes off icing onto the side or top of the container.

Cinnabon is a brand that sets a crowd-pleasing standard, and its containers generally have a low risk of scraping icing of the cinnamon roll. On the other hand, I can't recall having one of their containers closed long enough to risk having that happen. Those rolls are too good to wait on.

And Cinnabon Cereal is too good to wait on finding out its possibilities.

The cereal is beautiful in its little form. The pieces look like cinnamon rolls with their spiral of our extroverted spice of choice. Still, they don't sacrifice taste just to demonstrate a shape, unlike some cereals.

I sense a bit of icing flavor in the cereal, but I want more because I suck the marrow of life.

That's why I complemented Cinnabon Cereal with icing.

I didn't find a Cinnabon brand icing, but any cream cheese icing would do. Milk is good on cereal, but this icing brought out the cereals greatness. Cinnabon Cereal was now ready to amaze. That stuff had powered up and showed that crunch in a cereal can be complemented with something creamy, even creamier than what some might idolize as an experience of eating cereal with buttermilk.

You ever had cereal with half and half? Well, that's beside the point.

I wanted to get close to the feeling of this.

At some level, to grasp this in my dreams.

So I walked around to the smoothest sensation that could touch the crunch of cereal. And it swirled in my brain for hours and tickled my heart for days. Such a sweet touch that opened my mind.

Just with cereal, Cinnabon Cereal delights from bowl to bowl to the end of the box. But on a quiet night, a scoop of icing brings it the extra mile.

IHOP Cereal

Many of us have been to IHOP, some of us at various hours of the day or night and some even for all hours of the night waiting out a terrible storm.

Since I don't think IHOP offers cereal in its restaurant, this one is to hold you over until you find IHOP Cereal.

However, I can't promise IHOP Cereal with blueberries and syrup--allegedly--will hold you over until you get your next stop at IHOP.

First, this cereal most resembles some type of Cookie Crisp, and Cookie Crisp is--in most forms--an unfortunate cereal. Sure, the disc-shaped pieces resemble pancakes, but we should be going for flavor as well.

That's where it's lacking.

See, Blueberry Pancake Cap'n Crunch didn't aspire for greatness, but it tasted something like syrupy blueberry pancakes. Just enough taste to sail through and the right amount of crunch, but not too much because pancakes aren't hard. General Mills forgot that with IHOP Cereal because these pieces were rock hard.

Maybe there was some brain drain on the development side during the pandemic.

The pieces should emit a fair amount of syrupy sugar taste, but this doesn't provide much.

I found this cereal at Cereal Killerz Kitchen in Las Vegas, so I haven't located it on shelves in any store. If anyone does...gus it up, I suppose.

My dad once took a runza and said, "It needs something."

Find out what IHOP Cereal needs, whether it may be blueberries, whipped cream or real maple syrup.

Kit Kat Cereal

Kit Kat Cereal gave me a break from something, what it is...most likely would be ordinary sugary cereal.

Truly, Kit Kat Cereal gave me a blessing. This new thing from General Mills was something that elevated me to some of the better chocolate cereal taste I have enjoyed. This was a deep chocolate taste. This was a soulful chocolate taste. Was it spiritual? I don't know.

Also, it gave me a rippled texture that I don't often experience in cereals. Many cereals stay within certain shapes and textures, but General Mills didn't paint this one within the normal spectrum.

Kit Kat Cereal was something special when it got in the bowl with milk. It was alive. It didn't soften, but was vibrant with electricity and a touch of tenderness.

The curvature of the cereal pieces were just right for my tongue, which had longed for such a loquacious chocolate cereal for so many months.

People must be able to tell I missed the re-release of Chocolate Toast Crunch.

But Kit Kat Cereal soothed me.

And when my milk spoiled too soon, Kit Kat Cereal was right there with crisp taste (just like the candy bar) for me to eat dry.

Kit Kat Cereal gives me such pure energy when I eat it dry.

Lucky Charms S'mores

Some people get surrounded and feel misfortune in being outnumbered. But if you're a leprechaun, you always feel Lucky.

Hence, the Lucky Charms leprechaun feels great while being encircled in so much new flavor in this smores variety. There's extra new flavor in this and plenty of Magix.

He still has all the same marshmallows of rainbows, clovers and balloons. Also, there are plain marshmallows to represent smores time. That doesn't mean a specific marshmallow has to go in a spoon while combining with the Graham piece and the chocolate version of the cereal bits that appear in any Lucky Charms cereal.

There's brightness in every bite, and it glows like leprechaun magic or the warmth of a campfire where you make the smores.

The plain marshmallows have about the same level of softness as the others. I get as much excitement with each bowl as the one before.

Nutty Buddy Cereal

A certain charm comes with every Little Debbie snack -- a delight to savor in each sweet taste.

Little Debbie cereals have mostly replicated this charm. Oatmeal Creme Pie Cereal was on point. Cosmic Brownie Cereal didn't taste much like a brownie, but it was good enough.

Late last year, Kellogg's brought to the shelves Nutty Buddy Cereal, the reimagining of the magical, crispy chocolate peanut butter snack.

I wanted both the chocolate and peanut butter flavors in due proportion and got it.

The amount of crunch wasn't too great, and I felt grateful because crunch isn't what Nutty Buddy bars are about.

The bliss of the cereal was consistent, whether I ate it in chocolate or white milk.

Cereals like this make me feel childlike, especially when I feel free enough to eat them with ice cream.

I greatly anticipate continuing the journey of Little Debbies cereals. When do we get Zebra Cakes Cereals?

CinnaFuego Toast Crunch

I went into CinnaFuego Toast Crunch with a heart of desire. I went out with a gut punch.

What was supposed to be sweet heat in cereal form didn't connect with my mouth or stomach. I hoped to prove the haters wrong by enjoying this ambitious meeting of cinnamon and spice, but this cereal went down like a whiskey I didn't prepare myself for.

I am a deep believer in spicy food. I am fond of Flamin' Hot Mountain Dew, and I believe a Ghost Pepper Dr. Pepper stands a chance on the market. 

I can eat hot wings with the best of them. Sadly, after the first bite of  CinnaFuego Toast Crunch, each following bite became more treacherous. I searched for the trademark Cinnamon Toast Crunch cinnamon sugar sweetness in between hits of heat, but only caught traces of it.

Mostly bitterness filled my insides.

Milk doesn't go well with this stuff. Probably Fireball whiskey would be better, but I didn't work myself up to it. I took several weeks to finish the fourth and final serving.

General Mills apparently expected to move units with this limited edition. Sales seem to be limited because I see tons of these little bags on shelves at the discount price of...$2.88. Starting at $560 per bag for four servings like this would be a collector's item wasn't a great idea.

Wendy's Frosty Cereal

One of the most important things to remember in the food jungle is to know what you are. Wendy's Frosty Cereal know it's a chocolate cereal, not ice cream.

Cosmic Brownie Cereal

Brownies signify a rich experience, a journey for all types of people to deliciousness. You don't have to go to space in this delectable trip, but you can probably take them up there if you're in NASA, rich enough to pay your way or have a certain mission in F9.

Cosmic Brownies took me there several times when I needed a boost with their soft chocolate body, thin frosting and itty-bitty chocolate pebbles. (Don't tell me Roman wasn't eating Cosmic Brownies in that Pontiac Fiero.) Kellogg's had to find out if a Cosmic Brownie Cereal would impute the same effect.

The impact pleases plentifully. While Cosmic Brownies require no teeth at all to enjoy, Cosmic Brownie Cereal requires teeth, but not the greatest in the world (speaking from experience). These brownie bite pieces present a bit of crunch, but not a brutal amount.

Before I go too far, I must note that it's competing in the brownie cereal game with Malt-o-Meal Brownie Crunch, which is a bit more tender.

Brownie Crunch hits just the right tone to get a romantic little brownie feeling, and Cosmic Brownie Cereal retains a modicum of hardness that reminds you that it's very much in grain form.

Beyond that, Brownie Crunch brings out a toasty finish that emanates the virtual sensory experience of homemade brownies, whereas Cosmic Brownie Cereal holds the glossy creme exterior of a store bought treat.

How else did you expect Cosmic Brownie Cereal to imitate the Little Debbie's snack? Did you think those candy dots on the outside would have real chocolate?

Anyway, Cosmic Brownie Cereal does well for what it is, quite chocolatey. It's good in almond milk, but better in regular milk. You'll even get all the chocolate value eating it dry, although not as much of the brownie experience.

To be sure, it mixes well with Red, White and Blue Crunch (and probably also the non-seasonal Cap'n Crunch cereals).

Also, this passes the test more than another Little Debbie's snack cereal, Oatmeal Creme Pie Cereal. Good to see Kellogg's stepping up its effort.

Junk Cereals: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros

My latest Junk Cereals entry spurred me on a learning adventure. Through all the time I ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros, I wondered if Mexicans make chocolate churros or General Mills created this spinoff of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for the sake of having another chocolate cereal on the shelf.

In fact, food stick creators in multiple countries make chocolate churros, including Mexico, Brazil and others. In Cuba, they do churros with fruit filling, in case General Mills wants to try a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros version with strawberry flavor.

That isn't the object of the moment because Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Churros promised chocolate and cinnamon taste and delivered. Lick up the chocolate goodness before and after (obviously, there's got to be some chewing in between, as hard as these things are). Savor it. Savor it again. Sure, you'll have food again at some point in the day. But this is breakfast, the most important meal, and it's made extra important by having chocolate.

Also, this stuff has cinnamon. Those manufacturing the cereal didn't forget they were making a Cinnamon Toast Crunch product, so they sprinkled it on. Respect their attention. Respect it hard. They sweated through the pandemic so that you could have new cravings you hardly imagined before and ensured you wouldn't have to bake your own cereal and sprinkle cinnamon on it.

That this stuff should be respected for its hard pieces shouldn't be overlooked. Granted, it softens a little bit better in milk than Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros does, so General Mills improved it in that area.

The taste is pretty nice and hangs with you. Maybe you'll think of baking chocolate churros later if you can figure it out. Or if you can't or just don't imagine yourself crossing cultural boundaries like that, you'll bake chocolate cinnamon cookies or coffee cake.

Or if you lack any type of culinary energy, you'll eat another bowl and debate with yourself whether a second bowl of regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros or Cap'n Crunch is better at breaking your teeth.

Junk Cereals: Dunkin' Mocha Latte and Caramel Macchiato

I have tasted enough food and drink in my life that I know nothing can kill me unless it's truly laced with poison or I willfully eat so much of it that my body breaks down.

I don't drink coffee. No one has forced me to consume it. I hear it's an acquired taste for some and simply an addiction that meets caffeine needs for others. I'm repulsed by the taste and have survived thus far without needing a masochistic fluid injection to fuel me throughout the day.

Even on days when I'm dragging, I don't think coffee would help.

In its endless search for wild flavors for cereals, Post tested my willingness to try any possible novelty cereal. I went for the Dunkin' coffee-flavored cereals, Mocha Latte and Caramel Macchiato, without needing to buy them myself. These varieties appeared in front of me as a Valentine's Day gift.

I don't get Valentine's Day gifts every year or from just anyone, so you can guess what kind of brilliant soul (besides my mom) gave this to me.

Additionally, receiving these cereals as such a gift was an honor.

Eating Caramel Macchiato first was a meaningful decision because while both of these cereals have coffee concentrate as a key ingredient, caramel is a distinct flavor that appeals to my senses as I open the package and pour the stuff in my bowl.

That certainly boosted my hopes, along with the fact coffee does me no physical harm.

My thought after the first spoonful was, "This is tolerable."

After the second spoonful, I thought, "I'll make it through this box."

I hope Post sells millions of these Dunkin' cereals with the slogan "Tom Firme made through both boxes."

If I stopped there, it'd be more than I could say of Post's least fruitful novelty cereal, Sour Patch Kids Cereal.

Truly, the caramel flavor adds something that makes the cereal kind of nice. The coffee puffs don't rock my world, but the caramel marshmallows are perfect complements that raise the cereal to an appreciable level. Like many marshmallow cereals, the only way to eat these is in milk.

I don't know what kind of person I would be if I ate the puffs dry. A coffee slurper?

The caramel was uplifting all the way through, even at the end with the bits of coffee flavor in the milk.

I had an adventure eating the Mocha Latte version. See, the marshmallows didn't have some unique flavor. Does cream count as a latte flavor? Aren't marshmallows inherently creamy in some respect?

I mostly ate the Mocha Latte cereal with chocolate milk, which made me wonder if coffee brewed with chocolate milk would be a game changer (allowing the possibility that anything might be).

Also, I ate a few bowls with coconut flakes mixed in and honey drizzled on top, which took off the edge of the coffee.

Coffee drinkers are usually looking for something to take the edge off, right? Isn't that what creamer is for? Don't people get iced frappuccinos for that reason?

Knowing I could shake it up was a pleasure that had me looking forward to the fun in the bowl. Then again, I've shaken up cereals that would rank more highly, like Oreo O's.

Perhaps the most satisfying part of eating these two boxes of cereal was knowing I could consume them and not be drawn to drinking coffee.

Also, I had hoped that if there was a Post cereal partnership with Dunkin' (which shortened its name because of the "America runs on Dunkin'" advertising campaign) it would be a doughnut cereal. I accept this token knowing that no other coffee-flavored cereal is on the market and someone at Post must have been grateful for their coworker's Dunkin' run the day this was conceived.

Junk Cereals: PB&J Puffs

How do you reshape beauty?

First, approach it with restraint. Observe all of its aspects. Respect its simplicity. Understand that one grain isn't the same as another.

This batch of grains was given about as much care as the one on which it was modeled.

PB&J Puffs gives a sincere effort at recreating the simple masterpiece of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

This is a simple work of beauty.

Complete coverage of peanut butter and wide spreading of strawberry preserves.

Press them together. Discover subtle magic.

This is 100 percent whole wheat grace with smooth, satisfying contents inside.

Best Value saw that and decided to ride with the simplicity of the grain.

Neither the peanut butter nor the strawberry jelly flavor is too loud. To be sure, the strawberry puffs bring forth true strawberry taste.

Meanwhile, the peanut butter puffs present a mellow flavor.

Perhaps the strawberry puffs stand out more because we notice the jelly more in a PB&J. But we get the hearty feeling of the peanut butter in the stomach.

This cereal, overall, is much lighter than a PB&J. A serving doesn't provide nearly as much fiber for sustenance. However, it's just as good with milk.

That really completes the magic.

Junk Cereals: Crayola Cereal

Have you ever eaten crayons? When you were a kid, did you acquire a taste for something that's gluten-free and contains lots of wax?

Did you believe that you were on to something?

Kellogg's made a cereal for you. Maybe it didn't crush crayons and mix them into grain form (really no reason to do that and subject the residents of Battle Creek, Mich., to such an odor during a viral pandemic). But Kellogg chased that inspiration and made a cereal based on several crayon colors. Perhaps not enough colors. Not even an eight-color box of crayons.

Preferably, a 128-color box so that a consumer can examine every piece in a bowl of Crayola Cereal and not risk many repeats of colors.

Maybe I could settle for a 64-color box. That's enough variety.

What does Crayola Cereal taste like? Cornmeal. Cornmeal isn't a color that can be found in a 64-color box of crayons. Cornflower is and it's a blue hue.

At the same time, cornmeal doesn't represent multiple color flavors. With the pink version of Donut Shoppe Cereal, I found that there can be a pink ate like there can be a purple drank. One can eat a color.

However, if you're eating different colors in one bowl, don't you want to have some slight variation in color flavor? Do you get that in eating crayons?

I wonder that because I didn't eat crayons as a kid. I just inhaled noxious crayon fumes by sitting in a closed bedroom while working on coloring projects. That's not the biggest revelation of this blog series.

I hope to hear from people who ate crayons to find out if this cereal evokes memories of childhood.

Junk Cereals: Oatmeal Creme Pies Cereal

The Oatmeal Creme Pie was a little wonder of my childhood. A smooth, textured, creamy delight.

The glazed oatmeal cookies are glued together with three evenly spaced dollops of marshmallow cream. Such homely dessert beauty.

There were times when my mom gave me lunch money, and I thought it an economical and delicious move to just get Oatmeal Creme Pies and a Zebra Cake. My mom figured me out, and I had to get real food.

I haven't eaten many Oatmeal Creme Pies in my adulthood. Thus, I merited all the excitement of eating the cereal version of the treat.

I had high expectations for the cereal because of all my fond memories of consuming Oatmeal Creme Pies. Could I eat this cereal on its own morning, noon and night?

Not even in my most wildly unhealthy dreams.

This cereal hits some of the right spots, but not all of them.

Oatmeal Creme Pies Cereal lacks the creme middle I envisioned. When these Post marketing specialists gathered to imagine its contents, wouldn't this have been the first thing they thought to give us? The second?

Or did they want to hoard the marshmallow cream in their pillows?

Instead, we get an oatmeal puff that's seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg and properly glazed.

Post was able to meet us that far, but not willing to go all the way to make us perfectly content in creamy bliss.

We can't get creamy bliss in this economy?

Committed to making it a peaceful cereal, Post lets us savor each bite without too much crunch.

I look at the cereal and can't help but feel a hole in my heart when I see the tiny holes in these puffs. It's like Post wanted to puncture my aorta by coming a bit short of my dream.

Such a cruel way to leave my bowl incomplete. At least the cereal leaves behind a sweet and seasoned flavor with a hint of glaze and the cinnamon/nutmeg spice lingering.

What also lingers is my desire for the actual marshmallow cream in my bowl. I can't get pleasure from breaking up Oatmeal Creme Pies and pouring milk over them. But shall I mix marshmallow cream into the cereal?

That creme didn't spread like I hoped.

It's all on you, Post, to fix this cereal and reissue it within a year. You can call it "new and improved."

Pokemon Cereal

If I've got to catch them all in regard to junk cereals, I've got to catch Pokemon Cereal.

General Mills recently came out with the second run of Pokemon Cereal, which I want to believe is better than the first edition that came out when the game exploded in the late 1990s.

The best cereal company gathered all the best Pokeballs and threw down its cards to make the delightful cereal that proudly represents this game. Pikachu can sleep safely tonight.

This cereal has all the fruitiness. The most magical blue and red fruitiness is crystallized in this box. So much ruby and sapphire comes out through these puffs, especially in milk. Perhaps one or another red or blue puff gets enhanced in the milk.

Pokemon Cereal would not be complete without the yellow marshmallows that are shaped like Pikachu's face.

Maybe extra doses of marshmallows would include green ones shaped like the face of Bulbasaur, but did he ever capture that many hearts?

I was never into Pokemon the game or any movie or show related to it, but I'm all about this cereal. I'm certain this cereal will inspire the imaginations of real fans of Pokemon, and those anxious for "Legends: Arcaeus" will conjure so many images while plowing through bowls of this.
