Fruity Bits Review.

Well, here we go. I dared myself to try one of the generic, lesser known, poor people-esque cereals made by Giant: "Fruity Bits". Before, Fruity Bits was owned by Tops, and now it's owned by Giant, so excuse me for the early 2000s picture above. Anyway, I was expecting a crappy cereal....and I got a crappy cereal. Most of these cereals are major ripoffs of big name cereals, in this case Fruity Pebbles. Yes, it tastes exactly like the fruity dullness of Fruity Pebbles, but much worse. The taste isn't too far from Fruity Pebbles, but....let's just say it may not be sanitary when a crusty piece of corn flake with a dangled black hair on it falls out. This cereal is the epiphany of unsanitary cereals bought at a local Goodwill, and I have complete disregard for this piece of trash. So much that I threw the $2 box, worth as much as the stuff at a store's $1 bin.

The appearance is exactly the same as Fruity Pebbles! Kind of like small, colorful boulder-like cereal, but...this cereal doesn't try. At all. It's almost disgusting as a cereal reviewer to know that Fruity Bits is a major ripoff of a cereal that tastes pretty bland but has a great advertising campaign- this advertising campaign also sucks. It's just a purple dinosaur, without ANY name, and that's it! And an obvious game on the back! I think you get the idea, but the main idea is that you should never eat generic cereal, ever. And I learned that first hand...

Cocoa Puffs Review!

I'm back from my hiatus, and I can finally taste again! And thank goodness I can, because today's cereal, Cocoa Puffs, is like heaven in my mouth. One of my new favorites, Cocoa Puffs is....very chocolate-y. It's true to its name, and the chocolate is so good. Seriously, it tastes great. I can understand why Sonny is so cuckoo.

The shape is good, especially for a chocolate flavored cereal. You can't expect a chocolate cereal to be filled with color, that's a fruit cereal's job. The cereal is brown and circle-shaped, which is great for a chocolate cereal- better than Krave's unneeded shape.

The commercials, which are classic, is very similar to its fellow General Mills cereal Trix. It follows an orange bird named Sonny who is "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs". This bird usually cannot get his hands off of Cocoa Puffs, and usually tries to get off his addiction to this great tasting cereal. The commercials are actually pretty funny- as long as they are not played to death, which they usually are. But check them out below, and thanks again for reading! Stay tuned for a new review twice a week!

Cereal Eating Hiatus.

Alright guys, I have to take a very short hiatus from my cereal blog, but don't worry. I'll be back with a ton of new reviews, and I might even try to eat limited edition cereals themed after television shows and movies.
Tomorrow, I'm going to Walt Disney World for a week. This is my second time and I really can't wait to go again. I'll try to see if they have any Disney cereals there, because I know that Kellogg's and Disney paired up for a number of different cereals like Magix and Mud & Bugs.
But anyway, I have a cold. One of my many annoying symptoms is that I can't taste anything, so until this goes away I can't do a cereal review. I just wanted to make a very short blog informing you of why I haven't been around. There will be a lot more new cereal reviews when I get back. See you then!

Apple Jacks With Marshmallows Review!

Yesterday I went to the market to find, to my surprise, a new cereal variant I haven't heard of- Apple Jacks with Marshmallows. I didn't expect anything, noting that I hate marshmallows- but it was nothing special at all.
Seriously, it was just regular Apple Jacks with gooey gross marshmallows added in. The marshmallows, for some reason, tasted terrible. I added more Apple Jacks than marshmallows on my spoon, and goodness gracious, this is not profitable. It's pretty much just regular Apple Jacks with marshmallows added in and a cool designed box. That's it.
And the design of the marshmallows are regular marshmallows. Nope, not like Lucky Charms when people take time to go and decorate the marshmallows up- these are boring white marshmallows. The Apple Jacks are colorful, in some way, but the marshmallows have no design whatsoever.
Kellogg's didn't make a commercial for this because it's limited edition (although commercials were made for Apple Clones...), but still, a commercial would have helped this review.

Taste: 1/10
Look: 2/10
Commercial: NONE

Trix Review!

Yup, I've been on a LONG hiatus since my Lucky Charms review, but now expect to see a new review every 3 days. Today I review Trix, another fruity but bad tasting cereal that I've reviewed lately.
Trix is a dumb cereal, in my opinion. Like all of the other fruit cereals I've done, I think it tastes bland and just kinda strange. Yet, knowing this is like any other ordinary fruit cereal, they hype it up with Trix yogurt, t-shirts, tons of Trix spin-offs, and more- it's just cereal! So, yeah, the taste is like what I've said for Froot Loops and Fruity Pebbles.
The design of the cereal is quite pretty, in fact. Most are shaped like colorful flowers or various types of fruit, which is very appealing to look at. The box art is also pretty colorful, too.
The advertising campaign is very simple but also very interesting to look at. It involves a rabbit, simply known as the Trix Rabbit, who simply just wants a bowl of Trix, but these nasty kids tell him it's only for kids. DISCRIMINATION! Most of these advertisements involve the Rabbit going out of his way for a simple bowl of cereal, using disguises and plans of all sorts. In fact, my favorite is a "Got Milk?" advertisement where the Rabbit finally gets his Trix but runs out of milk. It's really frustrating to see that ad, frankly.
Trix tastes like every other fruit flavored cereal- not very good, but the advertisements and look of the cereal is very eye opening and cool.
To end my review, here's a compilation of Trix ads.
