The Incredibles Cereal

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Don’t ANY of you tell me anything about The Incredibles movie. I didn’t see it yet. I haven’t read any of the reviews. I don’t know how well it’s done at the box office. All I’ve seen is the movie trailer.
So don’t say anything.
Lalalalala. I’m not listening to you. Lalalalala. I’m not listening to you.
Also, DON’T tell me anything about the Star Wars Episode III trailer that played before the movie. Don’t you dare!
If ANY of you spoil this for me, I swear I’ll…Um…Keep. Doing. More. Reviews.
Anyway, I’ve wanted to see The Incredibles for a long time, but it wasn’t until I tried The Incredibles cereal that I REALLY wanted to see the movie.
I have this theory that if they make a movie promotional cereal and it sucks, that means the movie will kick ass. So far, basing a movie on how crappy the cereal is has been very accurate.
For example, I reviewed Spider-Man cereal, which came out with the release of Spider-Man 2 in theaters. The cereal wasn’t very good and there wasn’t anything special about it, but the movie was fricken’ awesome. Although I wish in Spider-Man 2 there was another scene with Kirsten Dunst in the cold rain.
Shrek 2 was another movie with a crappy cereal, but was a blast to watch in theaters.
So how was The Incredibles cereal? Hmmm… How can I put it nicely?
Let’s just say that the best part of the cereal was the word find puzzle on the back of the box, which took me a little too long to finish.
The cereal is supposed to have a strawberry flavor, which they call Incrediberry Blast. However, my taste buds seemed to think that it actually tasted kind of flowery. Now you’re probably asking yourself, “How do I know what flowers taste like?”
Let’s just say I like garnishes a little too much.
Item: The Incredibles Cereal
Purchase Price: $3.50 (on sale)
Rating: 2 out of 5
Pros: Limited edition, thank goodness. Puzzle on back of box.
Cons: Flowery taste. Needs a toy in the box. The movie will be waaaay better.

xiangxin - I like to think of myself as a consumer’s best friend.
julia - “NiftyBoy,” eh? That’s groovy of you to say.
aymie - Definitely wrong movie.

The cereal sounds gross. Go see the Incredibles now. Pronto!

Ugh… strawberry cereal doesn’t really appeal to me. But then, I don’t like Froot Loops, so maybe that’s why. I’ll stick with the boring bran ones, and the yummy sugary ones (non-fruit flavoured).

Aren’t incrediberries part of the frankenberry family? Or is it vice versa?
November 13th, 2004 at 6:41 am
Yes, the movie is WAYYY better!

I tried Pop-Tarts French Toast flavor based on your review. I’ve just added a new breakfast food to the rotation. That was good stuff.

Not to ruin it for you but you can view the Star Wars trailer online at StarWars.com. However, it mostly consisted of clips of the previous movies.

mai - We’re here to entertain and inform.
Mona - Seeing it tonight.
Jenny - Just don’t eat too much bran.
Jess - I think Frankenberry has marshmallows, so I would think it’s better.
Chana - I’ll take your word for it.
Luke - You really have to try the various chocolate-flavored Pop-Tarts, they are much better.
Norman - I really would like to see it with THX or Dolby surround sound, even if it is a short preview.

My brother won’t stop talking about it. Neither will the middle aged woman at my church. It’s just the type of magic that movie has…

Flowery? Not an adjective I like associated with my cereal flavor. Lovin’ your blog, hope you don’t mind that I linked to you.

Am I the only one that read your title and thought about Julia Duffy on the Bob Newhart show?
