\"Backflip<\/p>\n

A wise man once said, \u201cI make ya slide, make ya slip, make ya wanna backflip.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wish Backflip Chocolate Sundae Cereal made me want to slide, slip, or backflip, but the only movements it inspires are: make ya take notes, make ya write, make ya wanna say it\u2019s not a delight.<\/p>\n

Backflip Cereal is brought to you by a YouTuber I\u2019ve never heard of, but who has millions of subscribers. Its selling points include less sugar than other cereals, it\u2019s gluten-free, six grams of protein per serving, it\u2019s free from the top nine allergens, no BHT (a preservative), no synthetic dyes, no seed oils, and glyphosate-free. There are also cinnamon, fruity, and strawberry milkshake flavors.<\/p>\n

Organic yellow corn flour, sugar, pea protein, rice flour, whole oat flour, cocoa, coconut oil, calcium carbonate, natural flavors, salt, and monk fruit extract.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You might be wondering why I abruptly included the ingredients list above. I did it so I could type the following line: Not a lot of ingredients. Not a lot of flavor.<\/p>\n

\"So<\/p>\n

With so many chocolatey cereals available, you could create a cocoa cereal spectrum. Cocoa Pebbles at the most flavorful end, Cocoa Krispies at the least, with Cocoa Puffs and others somewhere in between. If I were to place Backflip Chocolate Sundae Cereal on that spectrum, it would create a new low end entirely.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolatey<\/p>\n

While the cereal looks extremely chocolatey, if I fed it to you while blindfolded and tied up because I\u2019ve kidnapped you for ransom money. I\u2019m not sure you\u2019d be able to figure out what flavor it was. You might think coffee, or something slightly fruity. Whatever it is, it\u2019s not a strong flavor. The dark coating seems to provide whatever flavor there is, while the cereal inside appears to have no chocolate and comes in a standard beige \u201ccereal\u201d color.<\/p>\n

\"That<\/p>\n

The coating does wash into the milk, making it look super chocolatey. But as you can probably guess from the cereal\u2019s lack of flavor, the milk also shares the same fate.<\/p>\n

There are some non-flavor positives though. The artwork looks cool, although the style reminds me of what characters in movies hallucinate when they\u2019re on LSD. The artwork extends to the back of the box, where you (or your kids) can \u201ccolor our world.\u201d As you can see below, my kid colored his feelings on the back of this box. Finally, the not-very-flavorful cereal has a great crunch and stays crunchy in milk.<\/p>\n

\"Feeling!\"<\/p>\n

I went in hoping this might be a gosh darn good cereal, since YouTubers tend to make decent food products. For example, Joyride Gummies are hella good. But Backflip Chocolate Sundae Cereal is not, and it doesn\u2019t convince me to try the other flavors. There\u2019s enough sweetness to make it palatable and finishable, but as a chocolate cereal, it make ya yawn, make ya spurn, make ya wanna return.<\/p>\n
