Cereal Straws

I've been a little reluctant to post on Kellogg's new Cereal Straws. It's hard to take them seriously.

Cereal Straws were recently introduced as a fun way for children (I presume) to get their cereal and milk. The straws are actually flavored, crunchy tubes, and come in two varieties: Froot Loops and Cocoa Krispies. As I see it, their nutritional value is low and they are relatively more costly.

I doubt Cereal Straws will catch on, especially considering Kellogg's recent conversion to healthy cereals and related marketing. Nevertheless, I give Kellogg credit because they are doing what I have long suggested: focus on innovation. In a highly competitive market this is the only way they can stay competitive.

Who knows? Maybe I'll be wrong and Cereal Straws will catch on like another ridiculous Kellogg product: Pop Tarts.

They are actually good! My grand kids love them. They kinda remind you of sugar wafers, but with flavor, and not as sweet. Good for a little, late night snack. Try em!

What makes you think they live here in the first place? But, yeah, these are very silly and represent some of the things I think are rather sat about my home country. But lay off the HATE, OK?

How did you idiots turn the comment section on a cereal blog into a makeshift social commentary forum? I swear, you're like some kind of retarded accidental MacGyvers.

You hate America because they made these cereal straws? Really? That's it? Listen, I'm enraged by peeps, but try not to blame a nation of millions on a breakfast snack. But seriously, I'm failing fathom the magnitudes of stupid you brought onto this web page with two simple sentences.

Rather sat about your home country? You mean sad? Because... what was the logic you used there? We're represented by these crunchy snacks? I get the feeling that 'delicious crunchy snack' is fairly low on the list of things that represent the United States. I'd worry more about the foreign policy.

And... yes. Yes someone went there. Someone went on a mini-tirade because they can't afford 4 dollars worth of cereal sticks. And angrily lashed out at the middle class. For being able to afford 4 dollars worth of... Man, that's not poor, that's lazy. It's 4 dollars. Cereal sticks. Not an iPod. Unless you're typing that message out of a public library because you live in a cardboard box on the corner, I don't want to hear it. Minimum wage is 7.50. There are some class issues in this country, but when you're getting angry over a box of snacks with a Toucan on it, you might want to consider saving that 4 dollars for some kind of medication.

In conclusion, I hate several of you, because you are the kind of people to throw in your oppinion... where? A political or social forum? No. Not even a youtube video thread. But the comment list on a review for a box of fucking cereal sticks. Thank you for pushing the internet down a notch.

If they get kids to drink the milk from their cereal they can't be all THAT bad.

America runs on cereal....wait hold up! I think that's rather America runs on Dunkin Donuts....either way who cares?! LMAO! I've never seen these cereal straws maybe because I don't look for them but I'm sure my kids would love them. $4 is expensive so I would buy it once in a while as long as they don't have too much sugar.
