It’s ANOTHER Accumulated Swag Mystery Box Giveaway!

Will there be a Part III this holiday season? That’s also a mystery.

But I can tell you that the Accumulated Swag Mystery Box Giveaway (Fall 2022 Edition Part II) Box doesn’t have a plastic bowl. Sorry, plastic bowl fans. However, there are many less plasticky things inside this box, and it’s noticeably heavier than the previous box.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for this Accumulated Swag Mystery Box that doesn’t have a plastic bowl, leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the word “gochujang.” It’s a spicy paste used in Korean cooking.

REVIEW: Stuffed Puffs Big Bites Cinnamon Toast Crunch Filled Marshmallows

/ / Reviews / 5 Comments

Stuffed Puffs Big Bites Cinnamon Toast Crunch Filled Marshmallows Pouch

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of the greatest cereals of all time. The original Stuffed Puffs is what happens when graham crackers realize it’s the third wheel and lets chocolate and marshmallow finally be alone together.

As a fan of both, my eyes got as big as marshmallows when I first saw the promo photos for Stuffed Puffs Big Bites Cinnamon Toast Crunch Filled Marshmallows. Even before trying them, I thought a Cinnamon Toast Crunch-coated marshmallow with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored creme would be epic. But after trying them, my eyes are as puffy as marshmallows from all the crying about how NOT epic they are.

Okay, I didn’t cry, but I’m a little disappointed with these.

Although the cereal is pulverized into dust, I expected some crunch from the coating. There is a crunch, but after getting up close and personal with these, it turns out it doesn’t come from the cereal.

Stuffed Puffs Big Bites Cinnamon Toast Crunch Filled Marshmallows Crystals

Instead, it comes from opaque crystals dotted across the surface. The light crunch is similar to the sugary coating on Peeps, but because those crystals aren’t everywhere, like on Peeps, the cereal dust’s soft texture gets exposed. Cinnamon Toast Crunch’s lowercase crunch is part of what makes it so great and to not have it here is saddening.

Also, the coating lacks a noticeable Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor. I think there’s a hint of it, but I’m surprised it doesn’t stand out for something that covers so much surface area. So lack of crunch and flavor makes it seem like the cereal is really there for looks and not much else. If the crushed cereal wasn’t so smashed, the coating might have had an authentic cereal crunch and a bit more flavor.

While the exterior doesn’t remind me of the popular cereal, the creme filling somewhat does, and it provides all the cinnamon flavor. Although, I get more of a cinnamon roll vibe (and aroma) than a Cinnamon Toast Crunch vibe. But I’m not complaining about that because the filling is scrumptious. There are also crumbles in the creme, and I do notice them, but they have a soggy oat texture, and I’m wondering what’s the point of them.

Stuffed Puffs Big Bites Cinnamon Toast Crunch Filled Marshmallows Stack

I’ve enjoyed most Stuffed Puffs I’ve stuffed into my mouth, and, of course, every morning, afternoon, and evening is a little brighter after a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but this mashup of the two is just good and not great. Maybe I shouldn’t have had such high expectations, or I’m being a Snack Scrooge. I don’t know. But I’m just closing my eyes and shaking my head at what could’ve been.

NOT FOOD: Swag Snack and Cereal Boxer Briefs

/ / NOT FOOD, Spotted on Shelves / 7 Comments

Swag Hostess HoHos Boxer Briefs

Swag Boxer Briefs have been around for a couple of years, but were brought to my attention only recently. These Hostess Ho Hos Boxer Briefs appear to be the newest style. Yes, there is a Ding Dongs version, if you’re wondering.

Swag Kellogg s Fun Pak Halloween Boxer Briefs

Also new this year are these Kellogg’s cereal boxer briefs with the Halloween designs of the boxes. Yes, they also come in the original box designs.

I think what also fascinates me about these is the packaging. The cereal ones come in small cereal boxes and the Hostess one comes in the rectangular shape of Hostess boxes. And here’s a Pop-Tarts variety that comes in a Pop-Tarts-shaped box.

Not only that, but a Cheetos version comes in a bag instead of a box.

PRIZE DRAWING: Accumulated Swag Mystery Box Giveaway (Fall 2022 Edition)

/ / Announcement, Prize Drawing / 328 Comments

It’s another Accumulated Swag Mystery Box Giveaway!

In two previous giveaways, I attempted to drum up some excitement for the mystery box by mentioning that a white plastic bowl would be included. If you didn’t participate in those giveaways because of the white plastic bowl, I’m happy to announce that this box does not have one. Instead, it has a blue plastic bowl! Blue! How cool is that?
