Kellogg\u2019s launched a cute marketing contest in South Korea to decide whether its next flavor would be the safe but predictable chocolate or the unimaginable yet intriguing green onion. It ended up producing the chocolate Chex, but circled back 16 years later to give green onion a shot. <\/p>\n<p>It sounded horrific. I HAD to try it. <\/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\/2020\/12\/Kelloggs-Chex-Green-Onion-3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Chex Green Onion 3\" title=\"Kellogg\u2019s Chex Green Onion 3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>The aroma inside the box was like a sour cream &#038; onion potato chip. The cereal pieces had a shiny glaze. I popped a few in my mouth for a dry run. They were&#8230;not bad! The onion was more subtle than I expected. The glaze was slightly sweet. It was a surprisingly good combo. It gave me hope. If we could, as a planet, make this work, we could do anything! I proceeded to gather milk and spoon for a real trial\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But, when the milk came in, everything went off the rails. I only managed to swallow four pieces of cereal. The combination of onion, sugar and milk was revolting. I have no idea what the science of this was, but somehow the milk amplified the onion and the flavors did NOT mesh. It was as disgusting as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/04\/26\/hot-chicken-wing-oreo-wasabi-oreo-review\/\">Spicy Chicken Wing Oreo Cookies<\/a>, but without the greasy mouth feel.<\/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\/2020\/12\/Kelloggs-Chex-Green-Onion-4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Chex Green Onion 4\" title=\"Kellogg\u2019s Chex Green Onion 4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was shocked that I was shocked because this is the least shocking outcome, right? We all knew this would happen, yet here I was, looking like someone had just peed in my Green Onion Chex cereal. <\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Since these were pretty good when eaten dry, I ventured to make Chex Mix with it. Here, the Green Onion Chex was a welcome and rather unique addition. The onion flavor blended seamlessly and the hint of sweetness added a nice change of pace from the other savory notes. <\/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\/2020\/12\/Kelloggs-Chex-Green-Onion-5.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Chex Green Onion 5\" title=\"Kellogg\u2019s Chex Green Onion 5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Eat it dry.
