New Product Review:

Berry Krispies

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 3/22/2006

Snap, Crackle and Pop just got fruity. Or more fruity if you believe those terrible rumors about the night they spent with Frankenberry. Personally, I think people judge Scientologists too quickly these days.

I dug this cereal. Admittedly, I didn't care for the first bite. I was expecting the usual candy fruit flavor but this was a little different. Once I got a few bites down, the new cereal had won me over. I couldn't help but compare it to Fruity Pebbles. By comparison, the fruit taste here is a tad more authentic.

A lot of cereals these days are making shady claims that they're healthier than they really are. This cereal makes no such claim. It's a sweet and flavorful breakfast treat. I emphasize the word "treat". No matter our age, we should only be treating ourselves to sugary breakfast cereals once or twice a week (Not just for heath reason, but also because of the wide range of breakfast options you screw yourself out of by sticking to one thing everyday).

In the end, Berry Krispies offers all the beauty of original Rice Krispies (sound, texture and taste) with the added twist of fruity flavor and fun colors. It also turns the leftover milk in the into a berry treat. All in all, if you're in the mood to have a fruity kid-friendly cereal, give this one a try.
