But it doesn&#8217;t because I&#8217;m having difficulty tasting the banana and caramel.

That involved me separating the lighter colored banana pieces from the slightly darker caramel pieces, creating a spoonful of only one flavor, shoving that spoonful into my mouth, putting my head into my hands, closing my eyes, chewing slowly, and letting the Cheerios-saliva slurry sit on my tongue before swallowing. But even taking all those extreme steps to eat this cereal mindfully didn&#8217;t help. With both, there wasn&#8217;t anything that made me think banana or caramel.<\/p>\n<p>Cheerios have never had bold flavors, but I can taste what I&#8217;m supposed to taste with previous varieties. But with these, not so much.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Why doesn&#8217;t General Mills mix Honey Nut Cheerios with other varieties? Recently, it seems like the company is throwing various Cheerios flavors, except regular and Honey Nut, at the wall to see which ones stick to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2021\/06\/09\/team-cheerios-cereal-2021-review\/\">make new varieties<\/a>.
