Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a present I got from my friends Holden and Sam on my birthday (yes, they know about the blog, too), is a good cereal. In fact, it's very tasty. But it's got some major flaws to it and it's not as great as some of the other cinnamon cereals I've tried.
The taste is pretty good. You can really taste the cinnamon in it. Almost too much...I know I'm a complainer when I say that the taste is too strong and that it feels too sweet. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's true. It's a little too cinnamon-y.
The look of the cereal is pretty simple. Tan squares with little red swirls representing cinnamon. These squares are just plain simple, but sometimes the pieces are little too big, that you have to open your mouth really wide to just fit the pieces in. Not a major flaw, but it could use readjustments.
The advertising has always been brilliant- until now. The advertisements used to follow a baker named Wendell and his 2 unnamed assistants who made the breakfast cereal- until there was this confusing new advertising campaign featuring Wendell getting stuck inside the TV and the kids who ate the cereal try to get him out. The 2 assistants, strangely, weren't seen again. Then in 2007, Wendell vanished. The new advertising campaign was simply awful, just dumb. An awful lot like the Krave ads, the new campaign featured alive pieces of the cereal trying to eat each other. Yes, you heard me right. So good it is reduced to cannibalism! But who cares about that, it's just plain dumb and not funny. I think the advertisements were great to start with, and nobody should have made the adjustments. This cereal has a few flaws, but it's still a tasty cereal anybody should try out.
