Monsters University Cereal Review!

I'm pretty excited to review my very first "tie-in" cereal, which usually promotes TV shows and movies by giving them their very own cereals for around 2 or 3 weeks. Basically, if you got it, you're pretty lucky, because it may be rare someday. Kellogg's usually teams up with Disney and Pixar to make cereals of their films. Thus, we have a tie in cereal promoting the Monsters, Inc. prequel, Monsters University.
The cereal's pretty good, and definitely very creative just like the Pixar films themselves. The look of the regular bits of cereal is pretty bland, but the marshmallow pieces resembling Mike and Sulley are pretty colorful, even if doesn't capture them quite clearly. The marshmallows taste good, too, and this is coming from a guy who really hates marshmallow cereals but still is willing to do anything for a review.
The taste of the cereal is good. Like I said, I usually don't like marshmallows but it unusually fitted in with the regular bits to make one good cereal. Also, if you wait a little while, the milk literally turns into a shade of light green. How cool is that?
Most tie in cereals usually don't have commercials to fit in (with the exception of the famous Nintendo Cereal System), and this one doesn't have a commercial, either. I'm actually pretty curious to see Kellogg's make a commercial for the cereal, it'd be fun.
Thanks for reading another cereal review. I'll probably write another review tonight, which is ANOTHER tie-in cereal I recently bought. Thanks for reading!

Vrooms Review!

Around a week ago, I went to a Big Lots and found this cereal honoring NASCAR that I never heard of yet: Vrooms. Noting that it was limited edition, I had to get my hands on it and eat it. So, like any promotion cereal, you can guess what it was like. A bland, tasteless, boring cereal. They just attracted viewers with the race car driver whose name I don't know, and then people just bought it. It's not awful, but they didn't try to make this stand out at the least bit.
The taste is just overly bland. It's not a crunchy cereal, so don't worry about it getting soggy. It looks like crap, it is crap. Not much to say, but it's just awful.
The look of the cereal is like a less exciting version of Cinnamon Jacks. They look better on the box, I can tell you that. The box is alright, if you're a NASCAR fan, which I, for one, am not.
There's no commercial that I'm aware of, which makes this cereal even worse than I thought. So, long story short: it's not good at all. Just boring.

Taste: 1/10
