<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Growing up, I never ate Special K because the television ads made me think the only people who ate Special K were skinny beautiful women in white one-piece bathing suits.<\/p>\n
At that time, I wasn’t skinny, beautiful, a woman, or owned a white one-piece bathing suit. Instead, I was husky, homely, a little boy, and owned a whole bunch of horizontally striped collared shirts that made me look even more husky. So I felt I wasn’t special enough to eat Special K.<\/p>\n
However, today I’m slightly overweight, apparently kind of cute, a man, and once walked around my dorm wearing some girl’s bra for a dollar.<\/p>\n
Despite the progress I’ve made, I still don’t think I’m quite special enough to eat Special K.<\/p>\n
Another reason why I never ate Special K was because it didn’t seem like there was anything “special” about it.<\/p>\n
No chocolate.<\/p>\n
No marshmallows.<\/p>\n
No rainbow of colors.<\/p>\n
No two scoops of raisins.<\/p>\n
No toy inside the box.<\/p>\n
No athletes on the front of the box.<\/p>\n
No super difficult word find puzzles on the back of the box.<\/p>\n
No crystal meth-looking frosting.<\/p>\n
Unless Kellogg’s decided to use psychology on all of us to make us think that Special K is “special,” but in reality the only thing “special” about Special K is the fact that there’s nothing special about it.<\/p>\n
Oh man, my brain hurts. That took too much thought.<\/p>\n
Well there may not be anything special about Special K, but there is something special about Special K Fruit & Yogurt. Also, I may not be special enough to eat Special K, but the time I spent wearing a bra and the other time I spent wearing a muumuu surely makes me special enough to eat Special K Fruit & Yogurt.<\/p>\n
Since I’ve never eaten Special K, I don’t know how it tastes. However, I imagine that it tastes horribly bland, because it looks horribly bland, like corn flakes or Ashlee Simpson’s new movie, “Undiscovered.”<\/p>\n
Thank goodness I’ve never had to eat Special K, but I’m glad I got to eat Special K Fruit & Yogurt because it’s actually pretty good with its oat & fruit clusters and yogurt-coated clusters mixed with rice and wheat flakes.<\/p>\n
The berry-flavored oats give the cereal a nice taste and crunch, which is good because the flakes get soggy pretty quickly. Also, despite looking like something that a drunk college kid might throw up, the yogurt-coated clusters also added a different flavor and texture to the cereal.<\/p>\n
