It\u2019s basically medicine to help old people [redacted].<\/p>\n<p>This is a food review!<\/p>\n<p>Giving the flakes a little more flavor was the right move. The clusters however were severely lacking. I guess I expected hearty Honey Bunches of Oats-type chunks but only got sporadic bits.

Granted, the scoops of raisins probably sunk to the bottom of my box, but for this bowl I reviewed, I didn\u2019t get a good ratio. I bet the last bowl will be 75% raisins.<\/p>\n<p>I coulda used some artificial almond flavor if I\u2019m being honest.
