<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I love hip-hop. <\/p>\n
And I love junk food. <\/p>\n
Those may seem like unrelated interests, but truth be told, they have a lot more in common than you think. They both have very high highs \u2013 Travis Scott\u2019s Astroworld<\/em> and Krispy Kreme\u2019s Reese\u2019s Outrageous Doughnut, and very low lows \u2013 Hostess\u2019 Cotton Candy Twinkies and the general existence of Lil Pump. They both simultaneously flourish and hurt themselves with excessive output. <\/p>\n Like Nabisco\u2019s continual push to release more Oreo flavors than the year before with only a few true gems, or when E-40 released “The Block Brochure,” with nearly 60 songs and only a handful worthy of repeat listens. But the shining light of commonality between these two separate things is their ability to thrive in collaboration. Hip-hop tracks that bring together three or four of the hottest MC\u2019s in the game are almost always bangers, and when junk food titans join forces to create a cohesive product, it isn\u2019t always great, but at the very least it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n Welcome to the world, Carl\u2019s Jr\u2019s Froot Loops Mini Donuts!<\/p>\n First things first, the packaging is fantastic. So much of the allure of limited time junk and fast food lies in the bag or box that it comes in, and this Froot Loops-branded carton that looks like it could house mozzarella sticks or jalapeno poppers sets the stage for a wonderful fulfilling experience before the eating even begins.<\/p>\n Opening the box is a sight and smell to behold, with five different colored donuts that mimic Froot Loops\u2019 signature rings perfectly and carries the bold, strong scent of the cereal with absolute precision. It\u2019s a sensory symphony of artificial fruit flavor and sugar. Some of the donuts have a thicker coating like a layer of frosting, and some have a thinner, more dissolved look like a traditional glaze.<\/p>\n My hypothetical rule of collaborative truth continues to thrive as these donuts taste as good as they look and smell. Super soft and slightly crispy, the donuts burst with a perfect fruity citrus-forward flavor that tastes EXACTLY like the love child of Little Debbie and Toucan Sam. This revelation leaves me with some pretty haunting visuals, but it\u2019s the absolute realest description possible.<\/p>\n The rings with a thicker, more visible layer of icing unsurprisingly pack a heftier taste bud punch, but the lighter glazed ones still get the point across, just a bit less convincingly. Like the actual cereal pieces, despite the glaringly different colors schemes, they all taste the same, like \u201cfroot.\u201d<\/p>\n In the vast land of junk and fast food collabs I can safely declare Froot Loops\u2019 appearance at Carl\u2019s Jr. a super hot feature. It\u2019s such a natural and well-done pairing that I can\u2019t believe one of the bigger companies like Dunkin’ or Krispy Kreme didn\u2019t get to it first, but as a company known for welcoming bigger brands into their home with open arms, Carl\u2019s Jr. just earned themselves another gold star.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 5 donuts – 320 calories, 15 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 360 milligrams of sodium, 44 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 24 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99 I love hip-hop.

\nSize:<\/b> 5 donuts
\nRating:<\/b> 9 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Perfect Froot Loops flavor packed into a soft mini donut. Great box art. Awesome vivid colors
\nCons:<\/b> Slight inconsistency in the glaze\/coating that leaves some donuts a little less spectacular than others. $2.99 is a bit high for 5 donuts, but I saw in other markets it\u2019s $1.99, which seems perfect<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
