New Product Review:
This corn puff cereal has a very muted fruit flavor - not really citrus and not really berry - something in between. While I noticed the fruity flavor, the cereal reminded me more of Lucky Charms (minus the marshmallows) than, say, Froot Loops or Fruity Pebbles. It's pleasantly sweet, but not over the top.
The pieces are orangish-pink stars and green mermaid tails. They stay fairly crisp in milk for about 5 minutes.
The milk at the end of a bowl just tastes like milk mixed with sugar. It does not change color.
Overall, I kind of liked this cereal because most fruit-flavored cereals hit you over the head with artificial flavor. This one is way more subtle and natural.
My 5-year-old girl (the target demographic for this product) liked the cereal dry as a snack, but did not care for it in milk - likely because the fruit flavor is more noticeable when dry.

In milk, it's C tier at best... but eaten dry, it's amazing.

Cereal was a sweet mixed fruit flavor. Granddaughter preferred it in a cup as a snack.
