New Product Review! Throw Me the Cereal!!!

Just in time for the May 22nd Premiere! Kellogg's presents LIMITED EDITION Indiana Jones Cereal!

So, I'm a cereal connoisseur. The routine was come home from school, get a bowl of cereal, watch YCDTOTV ("You Can't Do That On Television"). I have no idea how many bowls I have eaten in my lifetime but it has to number in the millions.

Now, this one takes me back to Saturday morning serials. Pun intended. The marketing tie-in of course got me but it's a quality product. Chocolate puffs with Marshmallows. Pretty standard fare but the marshmallows are on par with those of Lucky Charms and the chocolate flavor is great.

Initially, I thought the puffs might be too "puffy", if that makes sense. Definitely not like Cocoa Puffs here. Those can get pretty crunchy. The Indy puffs are closer to a 2 or 3 on the 1=puffy, 10=crunchy scale. However, I was pleasantly surprised after the MIM test (Minutes In Milk). Only the part of the puff submerged got soggy so it left a hemisphere still intact. Some cereal puffs lose all their shell if even a portion touches the milk. A tragedy of milk osmosis saturation.

One tiny complaint here though. The marshmallows. I mean, take a look at the photographic evidence. That's supposed to be a skull, a torch, Indy's hat, and the Temple of Akator. Seriously? We can put a man on the moon but we can't get marshmallow technology down? I'm waiting for the day of full-on, 3-D, anatomically correct Marshmallow Men. Kind of gross maybe but I say we do it BECAUSE WE CAN. We may never reach that plateau. Until then, we'll have to stick with what we got.

Indiana Jones Cereal. Gets 4 Orions out of 5. It boosts the anticipation of the movie and was good to eat up to 3 bowls in a row!
