The new 'crazy' flavors that come out are usually and interesting novelty, but I'll only eat a handful and then never touch again.
Here, I present to you, is The Exception. Right away, I was interested. Sprinkled donut flavored cereal? Put that in the cart! Not long after getting home, Adam decided to try it. He ate some, then handed the box to me… and I never gave it back.
First impressions:
Other than the shape, there isn't much that makes it 'donut', but that's fine by me. A better name might be something like "Sugar-Glazed Vanilla Rings with Sprinkles". They aren't too sweet, and they are delightfully crunchy. The sprinkles add a different sort of crunch, and some pieces have more than others, which keeps things interesting. They are a Cap'n Crunch product, so they will shred the inside of your mouth. They didn't stop me from eating the entire box in less than 2 days (eating ~18 oz of a Cap'n Crunch cereal in less than 2 days did stop me from eating much else until I healed.)
This cereal is so good, I am actually willing to go back to Wal-Mart for the second time in a week. If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will. Go try this cereal.
Please pay no attention to the demon cat at the top. |
Two cents from Hub:
To paraphrase Vera from Harlem Nights, you got my mouth all ready for sprinkled donuts and you ain't got sprinkled donuts. My only real issue here is the name. If they had called it Frosted Cap'n Crunch with Sprinkles I would have been fine, but if you call something "donut" and then don't deliver donuts it's a bit disappointing. To be fair, I've only had a handful of this because I don't have the heart to take it away from the wife what with her stroking the box and referring to it as her "precious".
