You might be thinking puzzles on the back of a cereal box are super easy and you could solve them before the third spoonful enters your mouth. But these aren\u2019t. I mean, they aren\u2019t as difficult as a Saturday or Sunday New York Times Crossword puzzle, but they seem to stimulate my mind slightly more than the cereal impresses my tongue.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kelloggs-Honey-Nut-Frosted-Flakes-Cereal-Spoons.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Spoons\" title=\"Kellogg's Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Spoons.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kelloggs-Honey-Nut-Frosted-Flakes-Cereal-Clovers.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Clovers\" title=\"Kellogg's Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Clovers.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kelloggs-Honey-Nut-Frosted-Flakes-Cereal-Honeycomb.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Honeycomb\" title=\"Kellogg's Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Honeycomb.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The puzzles include finding six spoons in the scenery, finding a four-leaf clover in a patch of three-leaf clovers, and going through a honeycomb maze. Plus, there\u2019s this tidbit (or tidbuzz?) on the box: Honeybees visit more than 2,000,000 flowers just to make one pound of honey. Did you know that? I didn\u2019t, but now I do thanks to this box.<\/p>\n<p>As others on the internet have pointed out, Kellogg\u2019s Honey Nut Frosted Flakes seems like it\u2019s meant as payback at General Mills for coming out with Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes last year that featured a font similar to what Kellogg\u2019s uses with its Frosted Flakes. A later box design came with a different font, but it seems Kellogg\u2019s didn\u2019t forget what the Big G did. So here we are with a cereal to compete with Honey Nut Cheerios.<\/p>\n<p>While they both are \u201choney nut\u201d cereals, their flavors are entirely different. Both use real honey, but Buzz the Bee should be jealous because the frosted corn flakes are noticeably sweeter than the whole wheat oat pieces. But what might be helping with that is the natural sweetness from the corn itself.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kelloggs-Honey-Nut-Frosted-Flakes-Cereal-Closup.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Closup\" title=\"Kellogg's Honey Nut Frosted Flakes Cereal Closup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Honey Nut Cheerios may have a lighter sweetness, but it\u2019s much nuttier. This might be because natural almond flavor is one of the cereal\u2019s main ingredients, while the Kellogg\u2019s cereal makes no mention of nuts in the ingredients. This difference is perhaps the reason why the flakes taste, at times, like original Frosted Flakes. Because of that, I slightly prefer Honey Nut Cheerios over its corn flake competition.<\/p>\n<p>But if you want something that\u2019s flavorful and a little functional, then Honey Nut Cheerios is the clear winner. Both are fortified with vitamins and minerals, but because Cheerios is made with whole grains, they provide two grams of fiber per 3\/4 cup serving. As for Honey Nut Frosted Flakes, its box has more fiber than the zero grams the cereal has.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free sample of the product.
