I\u2019d like to think this new variety of Cocoa Puffs is the reincarnation of that cereal I\u2019d kill to try again.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Limited-Edition-Cocoa-Puffs-Ice-Cream-Scoops-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Limited Edition Cocoa Puffs Ice Cream Scoops Cereal 2\" title=\"Limited Edition Cocoa Puffs Ice Cream Scoops Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The part of a complete breakfast features strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavored corn puffs. So it\u2019s a Neapolitan ice cream-flavored cereal. It&#8217;s also a 100 percent strawberrier version of <a href=http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2008\/09\/23\/cocoa-puffs-combos><\/a>Cocoa Puffs Combos that was on shelves years ago. While Cocoa Puffs is in its name, the chocolate pieces are not actual Cocoa Puffs. They\u2019re smaller and not as spherical. All three corn puffs have dull colors. Thanks no colors from artificial sources! <\/p>\n<p>The aroma that comes out of the bag is all strawberry. All day. All night. 24\/7. Actually, its smell reminds me of Cap\u2019n Crunch\u2019s Crunchberries, which is not a bad thing. With a strong berry scent, I thought it would have an overall strawberry flavor. And after eating a bowl, dry and with milk, I was right.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Limited-Edition-Cocoa-Puffs-Ice-Cream-Scoops-Cereal-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Limited Edition Cocoa Puffs Ice Cream Scoops Cereal 3\" title=\"Limited Edition Cocoa Puffs Ice Cream Scoops Cereal 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through, I imagine, cereal osmosis, the strawberry attached its flavor to the other cereal pieces. I tried them individually. I ate them mixed with each other. I had them mixed with each other in milk. I tasted them from a box. I consumed them with a fox. I tasted them in a house. I gobbled them with a mouse. But no matter how I ate them, strawberry was the dominant flavor and I detected only a little chocolate and even less vanilla. It&#8217;s decent tasting, even though it\u2019s mostly berry flavored and doesn&#8217;t remind me of ice cream. But I wouldn&#8217;t buy it again.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re one of those folks who eats all the strawberry from a Neapolitan ice cream container or enjoys berry-flavored cereals, you&#8217;ll like this. But if you&#8217;re one of those who avoids the strawberry in Neapolitan, you\u2019ll dislike this as much as those who dislike you for eating just the chocolate and vanilla from a Neapolitan ice cream carton.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup cereal only &#8211; 100 calories, 10 calories from fat, 1 gram of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 120 milligrams of sodium, 50 milligrams of potassium, 23 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, 14 grams of other carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> Bought on eBay, so significantly more than you should pay<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.8 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> eBay<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Not horrible.
