\"Post<\/a><\/p>\n

Indeed, we live in a fortunate time. <\/p>\n

A time in which the break room has been transformed into The Break Room. A time in which said Break Rooms include laundry rooms and nap pods and secret libraries stashed behind Narnia corridors. <\/p>\n

And yet despite such innovation, the daydream of having a pint of ice cream ready and available for my 3:00 snack break eludes me. Not seeing, \u201cWe provide a freezer stashed with multiple flavors of Ben & Jerry\u2019s at all times,\u201d in my current contract, I move forward, looking to Post Pebbles Ice Cream in hopes to fulfill the small pocket that wants just a taste of ice cream at the 3:00 snack slump.<\/p>\n

\"Post<\/a><\/p>\n

The colors of the cereal spill out in a blinding parade, bursting with the luminescence of a Lite-Brite powered by nuclear fusion. The speckles trip my brain up just enough, so that, upon my first bite, they heighten the sensation of the taste, which brings forth memories of a 2-scoop sugar cone of sherbet. <\/p>\n

Vaguely fruity and tangy with a burst of sugared citrus, the cereal hits the grainy, cereal crunch of a sugar cone while balancing that with the hyper sweetened, delightfully vague \u201cfroot\u201d flavor. Indeed, it\u2019s a little like Froot Loops, but it stands out with a few more drops of orange and tangy lime flavoring.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s just one thing: the cereal\u2019s corn base. It muddles with the frootiness and dulls out the sherbet effect, leaving an aftertaste that tastes like\u2026 well, a little corny. Corn enhanced with artificial flavors. Oh dear. This is not what I hoped for.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there is a way to avoid this peril.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not a big fan of milk in my cereal, but, when glugged straight from the glass, an ice cold cup of the white cream bounces, shakes, and rattles with the fruity crunch of the cereal, drowning out the corny taste to form an admirable mimicry of rainbow sherbet Dreamsicle, and, while it may not be the granola-crunchin\u2019, fiber-snappin\u2019, whey-protein-enhanced cereal of Richard Simmons\u2019 dreams, it has a modest amount of sugar and a pop of vitamins and minerals, making it a moderately balanced way to start the day. Or end the day. Or start the snack break. Or unleash that suppressed dream to be a bobsledder you\u2019ve always wanted to be. So go! Unleash your inner bobsledder!<\/p>\n

\"Post<\/a><\/p>\n

It must be noted with a proper degree of gravity that no amount of these Post Pebbles will bring you the same fulfillment as a fresh hot waffle cone filled with your grandmama\u2019s homemade frozen custard, but it pairs moderately well with that last quarter pint of Gelato Fiasco\u2019s Madagascar Vanilla Bean. <\/p>\n

While the raspberry flavor is hard to pin down, the cereal as a whole has a pop of orange and lime citrus that, while somewhat muddled in the taste of the corn cereal alone, finds itself heightened in the presence of milk or, well, just about any vanilla frozen deliciousness in your freezer. Indeed, it may be just enough sugar that you won\u2019t even need that nap pod.<\/p>\n

(Pause.)<\/p>\n

Nah. Everyone needs a nap pod.<\/p>\n
