\"Kellogg's<\/a><\/p>\n

There are three things I never got to see that bum me out \u2013 Ebbets Field<\/a>, a World\u2019s Fair<\/a>, and <\/a>Banana Frosted Flakes.<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia – the world\u2019s most trusted source – there have been less than ten Frosted Flakes flavor variants in North America since its inception in 1952, so you can understand why it took 64 years for Kellogg to sprinkle a few marshmallows in.<\/p>\n

Frosted Flakes with<\/u> Marshmallows.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so simple, yet so necessary. I think I\u2019ve subconsciously always wanted these to exist. Why wouldn\u2019t there be Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure some of you skeptics are thinking, \u201cMeh. If it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Why you gotta harsh marshmallow\u2019s mellow? (Say that ten times really fast.)<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t you ever mix two cereals together when you were a kid? I still do that. I could write a book about the best cereals to mix together. Dare me. Dare me to write that book. I\u2019ll write that book so hard!<\/p>\n

Threats aside, I don\u2019t think I need to go into much detail about Frosted Flakes. At this point, you should know all about the sugary corn flakes. They’re literally sugar coated Corn Flakes and one of the most iconic cereals on Earth. <\/p>\n

\"Kellogg's<\/a><\/p>\n

Tony the Tiger is one of the most recognizable marketing mascots ever, up there with Mickey Mouse, Ronald McDonald, and every child\u2019s favorite, Progressive Flo. Just in case anyone was wondering, the box notes that Frosted Flakes is indeed<\/u> the official cereal of Tony the Tiger. Thanks for confirming our lifelong suspicions, Kellogg.<\/p>\n

So, you\u2019re well aware of the flakes. How are the marshmallows? <\/p>\n

They\u2019re Gr-r-r-ross! <\/p>\n

Nah, I\u2019m playing, they\u2019re fine. Not quite \u201cgr-r-r-reat,\u201d but they\u2019re okay.<\/p>\n

They look like hot chocolate-style marshmallows. Texturally, they are pretty much what you expect from a cereal marshmallow. They have a nice sticky crisp, if that makes sense. <\/p>\n

\"Kellogg's<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to get too excited about the appearance. This is a no-frills cereal, and annoying people tell me you eat with your eyes first. They could have at least made them little tiger paws or something. Instead, it\u2019s just a boring bowl of whiteish-yellow flakes and little rock marshmallows devoid of color. <\/p>\n

The marshmallows have a really good crisp that gets immediately overtaken once you crunch them along with the cereal flakes. Frosted Flakes is a cereal that loses crispness in milk quickly, so after a couple spoonfuls, you\u2019re left with soggy flakes and slimy marshmallows. That being said, the after-milk was the same as I remember. It\u2019s like mixing five tablespoons of sugar in a glass of milk.<\/p>\n

I never thought of Frosted Flakes as a \u201cwithout milk\u201d cereal, but I think these could be a nice starter kit for a top notch snack mix. Throw in some honey roasted peanuts, M&M’s and pretzels, and we\u2019re on to something. I may buy another box and give this a shot.<\/p>\n

I consider Frosted Flakes a good \u201cif they\u2019re on sale\u201d purchase. They\u2019ve always been a 7 out of 10 cereal to me, and I don\u2019t think I can give these a different score. The marshmallows didn\u2019t really change the taste, and barely provided a different texture. I could hold that against them, but why bother? It was still a satisfying bowl of cereal.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you weren\u2019t expecting this cereal to reinvent the wheel, so I think you\u2019ll like ’em. If you love Frosted Flakes, give ’em a whirl. Now, who wants to start a petition with me to get Banana Frosted Flakes back on shelves?<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.50
\nSize:<\/b> 13.6 oz box
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Wegmans
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Classic cereal. Really good fresh out of the box. Potential base for a snack mix. Mixing multiple cereals together. Tony the Tiger. Saying Tony the Tiger’s famous catchphrase out loud.
\nCons:<\/b> Really not much different than normal. Boring appearance. Almost instant sog. Super sugary cereal milk. Tongue twisters. I really wanted to go to a World\u2019s Fair. “Ya know, anyone can edit Wikipedia.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
