Frosted Flakes Gold

Usually, I love all cereals. Some taste better than others, and different cereals are ideal for different times.

With Frosted Flakes Gold however, I can't really see a time when this cereal would ever be considered good.

The front of the box describes its contents as "Crunchy flakes made with whole grain and baked with HONEY". Tastes more like poo. Rather, petrified bran flakes covered in candy shells, which isn't what I typically look for in a cereal. Thankfully it becomes slightly tolerable after 5 minutes of soaking up milk and the sugar has washed off a bit. Then again, that's like praising a wild, rambunctious child for eventually getting tired.

My housemate theorizes that when companies make these wild experiment products that mess with the usual formula for success, it's because they came up on a bunch of whatever the extra ingredient is.

I can't really think of any other reason why someone thought this cereal was a good idea. Didn't they focus group this stuff on someone else besides 6 year olds? I guess when you're a refined sugar peddler though, that's the only demographic that really counts.

I can't believe we made it through the whole box.

They'll get tired eventually.
