I could fill this Friends The One With The Vanilla Bean Latte Cereal review with references from the TV show if I knew enough about it. I’m pretty sure I watched every episode, but I’m awful at retaining any knowledge about them other than the names of the main characters, and I vaguely recall there was a Tom Selleck arc with Rachel and Monica arguing over condoms. Or was that some vivid dream I had? <\/p>\n
This Walmart-exclusive, limited-time-only cereal features sweetened whole wheat and corn flakes with vanilla bean latte flavor. The box’s backside has a board game that involves helping Rachel, Ross, and Chandler get a couch up a few flights of stairs. I’m sure that’s from the show, but I don’t remember it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All the pieces have a sugary coffee-flavored coating that gives them a sweetness and a protective barrier from getting soggy. These flakes can take a soak, but its crunch will not croak. But the flavor sticks to the flakes so well that it doesn’t run into the milk. <\/p>\n
Sniffing it, I notice a slight coffee bitterness with an equal amount of sweetness, and its flavor is also not overwhelming. So, if you want a cereal with a HEAVY java taste, this is not it. But this cereal is how I like my coffee, sweetened and creamed. At times, there’s a nuttiness that might be coming from the underlying flakes, and at other times, my taste buds thought of Raisin Bran, thanks to the flavoring fading and the whole wheat flakes’ taste coming through. Like actual coffee, the cereal leaves an aftertaste that reminds you that you’ve consumed coffee long after you’ve finished. Even though I wish the flavors stood out a bit more, I enjoyed this cereal immensely. <\/p>\n
Its flavor also got me thinking we could pretend to be baristas with this cereal by adding different kinds of milk \u2014 almond, oat, soy, cow, or whatever your heart desires or your digestive system tolerates. <\/p>\n
Despite its flavor, coffee isn’t a listed ingredient, so I’m sure there’s no chance of getting a caffeinated jolt from this. While it lacks actual java, a serving has enough fiber to give my digestive system almost 20 percent of my daily recommended amount.<\/p>\n
Fine flavor. Fiber. Friends. Who could ask for more from a cereal that makes your breath smell like coffee?<\/p>\n
Smell?<\/p>\n
Oh, Smelly Cat! I totally forgot about that.<\/p>\n
