<\/a>written about them and have a recurring dream where I fight Tony the Tiger to enter the discontinued cereals vault, which he is guarding, so that I can eat another bowl of my beloved cereal. But he always defeats me and right before the knockout blow he says, \u201cYou\u2019re gr-r-reatly mistaken that I\u2019ll allow you to enter this vault.\u201d<\/p>\nBut now, there\u2019s Limited Edition Frosted Flakes Banana Creme. Will it be the reason why I no longer have to write cereal odes or fight Tony the Tiger in my sleep? Unfortunately, the written and violent pleas will have to continue. <\/p>\n
The flakes have a faint pleasant banana aroma mixed with the familiar scent of Frosted Flakes. They\u2019re coated with a layer of frosting that makes them look similar to the original variety. There aren\u2019t any dried fruit bits on them or the word \u201cbanana\u201d in the ingredients list.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an adequate amount of banana flavor at first. But, by the fifth or sixth spoonful, it changes into something different from the first few dips into the cereal bowl. The fruitiness takes a backseat, and the frosting\u2019s sweetness takes control. This happened whether I ate them dry or with milk. But those first spoonfuls brings a smile to my face.<\/p>\n
While there’s sufficient flavor, I can\u2019t help but think Kellogg\u2019s could\u2019ve added more, which might\u2019ve helped make it a little more lasting. It could\u2019ve taken the dried fruit from its Banana Raisin Bran (one of my favorite cereals of 2018) and added them to this. That addition might\u2019ve made this one of my early favorites of 2019. But they weren\u2019t so this ends up being a little disappointing to me.<\/p>\n
If I weren’t a child of the 80s and 90s who got to experience the Golden Age of Breakfast Cereal that included Banana Frosted Flakes, I’d probably like this more than I do.<\/p>\n
I do like it because I LOVE banana flavored products and there are traces of it. But its lack of a lasting flavor makes me go bananas.<\/p>\n
