<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Regular readers of The Impulsive Buy will have noticed in recent years the bounty of breakfast cereals based on other sweet confections. Whether it be Twinkies<\/a>, Pop-Tarts<\/a>, or Dippin\u2019 Dots<\/a>, there seems to be no limit to manufactures\u2019 desire to rebrand known properties into something that will fit in a bowl. <\/p>\n The latest is General Mills\u2019 Jolly Rancher Cereal. A hard candy doesn\u2019t seem like a natural candidate to convert to breakfast time (we get these before Ding Dong or Ho Hos cereal?), but let\u2019s see if The Big G can move these from the office candy bowl to the kitchen cereal bowl.<\/p>\n Upon opening, I can tell these are going to be more than a rebranded Trix. There\u2019s a tangy scent that I\u2019ve never encountered in a cereal before. I pour a measured 36 gram portion into my bowl and am once again disappointed at how small a suggested serving of cereal is.<\/p>\n As I pour in the milk, I notice that the cereal pieces are more pillow-shaped than the spherical pieces on the front of the box. The flavor has some of the tang I detected, and that really works to remind me of the cereal\u2019s candy namesake. Each different fruit piece has a distinct flavor, though you can\u2019t really tell in a mixed spoon. The green apple has an especially nice green apple flavor.<\/p>\n I have to admit I\u2019ve never really cared for the original Jolly Rancher candy. It\u2019s amazing how they manage to take an ordinary flavory like \u201ccherry\u201d and make it taste just a little bit weird, like the manufacture gave free rein to the guy who designed the artificial watermelon flavor.<\/p>\n Still, I have to admit this cereal somewhat won me over. Most fruit cereals only manage to be overly sweet and generically \u201cfruity.\u201d These manage to offer a more distinct fruit flavor, at least if you manage to get a spoonful of a single flavor. Which I did. Multiple times. Because I live a full and interesting life. <\/p>\n I\u2019m not going to wake up excited to have my bowl of Jolly Ranchers, but it\u2019s a good option if you\u2019re looking to change things up. I have a feeling that we\u2019re at peak novelty cereal, so I don\u2019t know how long these will last on store shelves. Give them a try.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.64 What is Jolly Rancher Cereal?
