Cereal Evaluation


I went to the grocery store last night after work to pick up a few things, first and foremost being dinner. While I was there I picked up a couple things that I needed like milk, and cereal. As I am starving and walking down the cereal aisle I spot Cinnabon Cereal. For just a brief moment I turned into Homer Simpson. Ooooooo Cinnabon.... So I dropped it and some Ingles brand Frosted Mini wheats into the basket. (The Ingles brand was the only variety that did not have HFCS in it.)


So this morning I go to the cereal cabinet to get my Cinnabon cereal. I am looking forward to some cinnamony good crunchies for breakfast. I smile to myself as I pour the little cinnamon roll shaped cereal into the bowl. Add milk and get ready.... Ugh. The cereal is barely sweetened and tastes NOTHING like a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. I actually had to add sweetener to it. So should you see this very tempting name brand in the cereal aisle and think you might want to try it, let me save you the trouble. Just pass it up and grab a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I have had some trouble with Cinnamon Toast Crunch myself. When made the right way, I concur, it is freaking awesome. Almost half the time I get a box that is poorly sweetened to the point where it seems there is cinnamon but no sugar.
