I recall that last year the big trend in snack foods such as chips was sriracha and other super-spicy flavors, and now those are being pulled off the shelves because most people did not want anything so extreme. When it comes to cereal, it's true that many adults often eat it at night, but I don't think it necessarily follows that they want "dinner"-type flavors such as curry. I still think the number-one reason people eat cereal is that they want something sweet.<br /><br />However, I do think manufacturers could do a better job utilizing existing flavors. Case in point: Last night I tried the new PB&Chocolate Cheerios for the first time, and I couldn't believe how wonderful it was -- one of the best cereals I've ever tasted. Essentially, it's the same formula as the Reese's cereal – peanut butter and chocolate. But the Reese's brand is drenching it on a Kix/Trix/Cocoa Puff type of base, whereas this new brand is putting those flavors on Cheerios. Somehow, this makes the flavor much more assertive and substantial. Debbie Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742039819655243069noreply@blogger.com
