I can\u2019t help but stare at the Post Shredded Wheat Frosted Cinnamon Roll Cereal box for two reasons.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s not wrong is the aroma that comes out after opening the package. It\u2019s a nice sweet cinnamon smell that I\u2019d love to wake up to every morning. However, the cereal itself is not one I\u2019m sure I\u2019d wake up for.<\/p>\n
As you can read on the box, the part of a complete breakfast has whole grain wheat, no synthetic colors, and is \u201cbursting with vanilla flavored chips.\u201d It\u2019s frosted on one side and cinnamon is an ingredient. Now, this sounds like this could be a decent cereal, and, I\u2019ll be honest, it is when eaten dry.<\/p>\n
The cinnamon flavor isn\u2019t as pronounced as its aroma, but the frosting, vanilla-flavored chips, and cinnamon do a great job at acting as the Paxil, Zoloft, and Prozac to deal with the depressing blandness of the shredded wheat. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But I do wish Post upped the cinnamon dosage. It\u2019s not Cinnabon level of cinnamon, it\u2019s more like licking the bottom of the box a Cinnabon came in after someone else licked it. The frosting and vanilla chips add a generic sweetness and artificial vanilla-ness that help the insoluble fiber go down. The chips aren\u2019t like what\u2019s shown on the box, they\u2019re more like white blobs with a texture that\u2019s more crunchy than creamy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While fine when eaten dry, a problem arises when it sits in milk for a few moments, which is a situation cereal finds itself in 9 out of 10 times. The dairy bath causes the pieces lose ALL THEIR FLAVOR and turn a decent cereal into a depressing one. Now you\u2019d think those vanilla chips might save it, but even their flavor disappeared. Actually, my mouth couldn\u2019t even feel those chips in the soggy pieces. It\u2019s as if they dissolved in milk.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re going to eat these as a dry snack, you\u2019ll enjoy them. They have a hearty crunch and a decent, sweet flavor. But, while milk helps strengthen bones, it hurts this cereal by washing those good things away.<\/p>\n
