\"Quaker<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Quaker has added a new member of the Life family, joining Original, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, and (discontinued?) Maple and Brown Sugar. Strawberry Life is the only fruit-flavored version out there currently. Cinnamon Life is my all-time favorite cereal, so I was interested to see how this variation would stack up.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Quaker<\/p>\n

When I tried a piece dry, it reminded me of Berry Berry Kix, a cereal I haven\u2019t had in decades. But who eats Life dry?<\/p>\n

As I ate the cereal doused in milk, I got the true experience, but it\u2019s not much of an experience. For some of the bites, I could hardly taste the strawberry. It was just like Original Life. On other bites, I could taste the berry, but it had an artificial, almost chemical flavor, which is odd since it only uses natural flavors.<\/p>\n

\"Quaker<\/p>\n

I was happy to finish my bowl(s) of this cereal, but only because of the standard flavor and texture of Life. The strawberry doesn\u2019t do anything for me.<\/p>\n

\"Quaker<\/p>\n

I did try real strawberries in the cereal, but personally I didn\u2019t care for the combination.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

I have a few lingering questions. Why do they use yellow food coloring for a strawberry-inspired cereal that is drab anyway? Like, what\u2019s the point? And why is this new product being marketed with a minor character from a threequel that I predict will be forgettable?<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I doubt I will ever buy this cereal again \u2014- not because it\u2019s terrible, but just because it doesn\u2019t match its predecessors. When I go to the cereal aisle and see my beloved Cinnamon Life smiling at me, I have no need for Strawberry. Even Original is better than this version.<\/p>\n
