COMING SOON: CinnaFuego Toast Crunch Cereal

Marvo / August 5, 2022 / Coming Soon / 10 Comments

I know this looks like it could be a very late April Fools joke (or maybe August Fools Day is now a thing), but I assure you, this is real.

According to the press release, it looks the same as the original and is still blasted with Cinnadust, but the sweet cinnamon flavor is combined with the added hot sensation of a spicy pepper to deliver an absolutely absurd experience.

Does spicy Cinnamon Toast Crunch interest you? Well, if so, there’s only one place you can get it — Walmart.com. The online-exclusive flavor will available for purchase on Friday, August 12 for a limited time, while supplies last. If that excites your taste buds, burn that date into your calendar.

Thanks to General Mills for the info and image.

REVIEW: Jack in the Box Oreo Cookie Ultimate Chocolate Shake

Marvo / August 5, 2022 / Reviews / 2 Comments

This is what Jack in the Box’s mobile app says about its new Oreo Cookie Ultimate Chocolate Shake, “It’s the best of both worlds – our rich old-fashioned chocolate shake with fan-favorite Oreo cookie crumbles mixed in and topped off with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. You don’t have to thank us for this game changer, but you’re welcome to.”

Game changer, huh?

It’s a chocolate shake with Oreo cookie crumbles in it. “Game changer” is a bit hyperbolic. If this shake is a game changer, then this sentence is the greatest sentence that uses the word “sentence” three times.

Look, if the whipped topping was also chocolate flavored or chocolate mousse, and if the maraschino cherry was chocolate coated, then it might be a “game changer” and worthy of the title “ultimate.” But what’s on top is just the standard white whipped topping and bright red cherry that come with Jack’s other shakes.

With that said, the Oreo Cookie Ultimate Chocolate Shake is as satisfying as Jack’s regular Oreo shake. The combination is a no-brainer, and it tastes exactly how you’d expect — chocolatey with little pops (and crunch) of darker chocolate from the cookie crumbles.

Like the word “ultimate” in this menu item’s name, the cherry is also unnecessary. I know it completes the whole shake experience and adds some color to the white whipped topping, but do you know what else would’ve added some color on this particular shake? More Oreo crumbles. As for the whipped topping’s contribution, it somewhat dilutes the flavors of the two headliners, and if I get this shake again, I’ll omit it.

Jack in the Box’s Oreo Cookie Ultimate Chocolate Shake is a perfectly fine dessert but isn’t the most imaginative idea, and it’s not a changer of games. If it came topped with Jack’s Chocolate Overload Cake, it would be the ultimate chocolate shake, and if it came with a couple of Jack’s mini churros lounging at the edge of the cup, that would be a game changer.

BACK ON SHELVES: Doritos Jumpin’ Jack Cheese (2022)

This flavor has come back so many times that it should just be a standard one. Also, the bag needs a redesign. It’s so drab. (Spotted by RaveGyrl at Circle K.)
