Time to pretend the donuts.
Donuts are in all probability my favourite meals, and the child in me nonetheless will get excited each time I see a brand new cereal on the shelf, however so far as cereals based mostly on donut flavors… Has there ever actually been an excellent one?
Donut cereals are often simply generic “O” formed items with gimmicky branding. It simply looks like a straightforward solution to move off a brand new concept for a fast buck. Look, I nonetheless get that enjoyable jolt of arrested improvement once I see donuts on a cereal field, however the taste at all times finally ends up being lazy. Doncha assume it’s time the Breakfast Gods bless us with a very revolutionary donut-based cereal?
Me too. Ya gotta preserve ready, although, as a result of new Kellogg’s Glazed Donut Gap Cereals ain’t it.
On paper, the thought of turning three of Kellogg’s most outstanding choices into little “glazed” donut bites might sound enjoyable, however dare I say these stands out as the laziest donut cereal makes an attempt to this point?
Of the three flavors – Frosted Flakes, Krave, and Apple Jacks – I’ll be reviewing the primary two.
Frosted Flakes
They’re candy. They’re flakey. They’re iconic. Properly, now they’re bland little balls. They’re ironic? Most likely not, I don’t truly know what irony is, however these are a snoozefest.
I can solely describe the flavour as “sweet-ish.” Not Swedish, “sweet-ish.” You get a primary candy corn cereal style with a texture I’d evaluate to a much less dense Peanut Butter Crunch. The flavour is so mild they nearly style like Kix. They’re missing such a punch that you may’ve instructed me they had been a model of “wholesome” various cereal bought from Entire Meals. They don’t ship on the promise in any respect. They’rrrrrrre GGG-onna want to return to the drafting board on this one.
Krave
I’ve an admission, I’ve by no means had Krave. I’ve liked some “stuffed pillow” cereals prior to now, however they’ve escaped me since their inception for some motive. Whereas I can’t communicate on Krave of their true kind, they make for a good “glazed” donut gap. They’re okay. I wasn’t mad. I wasn’t pleased both, however…
These are basically “Cocoa Puffs Lite.” It’s as if Sonny the Cuckoo Chicken lastly received on meds and simply chilled out for just a little bit. Whereas that sounds boring, they’re simply the higher of the 2. I’m on document as saying most chocolate cereals style the identical, so I don’t thoughts this lighter chocolate taste. The dusty white “glaze” offers them just a little little bit of a sizzling cocoa taste vibe.
The again of every field boasts “Glazed in Genius,” however these are dumb and unglazed. It’s only a faint white coating. Each cereals look comparable, with Krave having a barely darker hue.
Kellogg’s Glazed Donut Holes are, at greatest, “inoffensive.” They took a number of cereals out of their distinctive varieties for no motive. It’s just like the manufacturing facility setting was caught on “ball” someday, and so they simply rolled with it – pun presumably supposed.
Donut cereals do-nut work. Pun not supposed. Donut gap cereals are particularly baffling. There have been roughly 4,389 ball-shaped cereals that we may’ve handed off as “donut holes.” I’m no conspiracy theorist, however I really feel like that is some type of “shrinkflation” ploy the place balls are cheaper to supply or one thing. If donut gap cereals labored, we’d have “Dunkin’ Crunchkins” by now.
If curiosity will get the most effective of you and you purchase these, simply combine ’em collectively. It makes for a barely higher bowl of cereal. Who is aware of, possibly the Apple Jack model slaps, however Frosted Flakes and Krave are duds.
