COMING SOON: Limited Edition Mocha Crunch Cereal

Marvo / April 10, 2017 / Coming Soon / 7 Comments

If you’re looking at this box of Mocha Crunch and thinking caffeinated cereal, I’m going to burst your beating heart that’s going a bit quick because of the caffeine in your system and tell you I’m 100 percent sure this doesn’t have any.

I don’t have any other knowledge about the cereal besides what the picture above tells us. But I’m quite sure General Mills knows it would feel the wrath of parents groups across the nation if one of their breakfast cereals was giving children a stimulant that can be addictive.

Even though it won’t have caffeine, I’m very excited about this cereal because, for years, I’ve wanted a coffee-flavored breakfast cereal. (I also want a coffee-flavored Oreo cookie. Get on that Nabisco!) Although, to be honest, I’ve wanted one because I want to crush the cereal and sprinkle it on a Mocha Frappuccino’s whipped cream.

PRIZE DRAWING: A Roll of Cheetos Toilet Paper and a Target Gift Card

Marvo / April 10, 2017 / Prize Drawing / 251 Comments

Sometimes I spend $10-15 to get a bottle of the latest limited edition Japanese Pepsi. Sometimes I pay $12 to have the newest Oreo flavor mailed to me. And sometimes I spend $8 to receive a six-pack of orange toilet paper with Chester Cheetah’s paw print on it.

While the soda and cookies have been consumed, the Cheetos-colored toilet paper has not. So I’m giving away one roll to a lucky(?) TIB reader. But that lucky TIB reader will also receive a $10 Target gift card so he or she can buy normal white toilet paper or $10 worth of Cheetos.
