YOUR URINE NEVER SMELLED SO GOOD



I am a poor college student. Thankfully there is a company out there called Malt-O-Meal that makes damn good cereal for cheap prices(4 bucks for a 37 ox. bag vs. a 13 ox box for like 2.50). Most off brand foods are not as good as the expensive stuff, but Malt-O-Meal does pretty good. Golden Puffs are the equivalent of Smacks or Golden Crisp..but the mascot is a Kangaroo instead of a frog or a bear. A much needed improvement in my opinion. Now lets get to the cereal. Great taste. Overall Honey is the main flavor, but the smell and initial taste has almost a hint of coffee/mocha, which is a bit different, but i enjoy it. Texture of the cereal is also great. Crispy but without being TOO crunchy and rough on your mouth or some shit like that. Because the cereal is Puffed Wheat it seems likely that it would absorb milk really fast, but Golden Puffs comes with its own bodyguard. The honey on the outside acts like armor to keep soggyness at bay..so it stays pretty crisp for the pretty much the whole bowl. Even once soggyness finally starts to break the front lines, the honey keeps it somewhat crisp, so during the initial bite you have some crunch..followed by a somewhat soggy middle. It sounds weird but the texture is really different and cool and i love the last few bites when it gets like this. So you drink the milk(which by the way is extra sweet and honey-ey tasting) and you wash your bowl, and your cereal experience is done right? WRONG. One weird thing about Golden Puffs is that the next time you take a piss..it will have a honey smell to it. At least for me. And I think this rules. I have some friends who hate this cereal because of this fact. It reminds me of how good my breakfast was, and makes me want another bowl as soon as possible.

FAIL.


There are some good ideas that just don't ever come together the way we would like. It happens. Just Bunches is one of those ideas. I saw a coupon for this in the paper over the summer, and decided since i love Honey Bunches of Oats, this would rule too. Boy was I wrong. I can see these guys sitting around trying to think of a new cereal(which i wish was my job) being stumped..and as a cop out make this. The box was $2.50, and really really small. 4 bowls(average amount) and it was gone. That sucked really bad. Overall taste was fair, but i bit bland, so i tried putting frozen raspberries on it, which made it a lot better. For the price, and the amount given, you would be better off buying a good granola that has raisins or almonds in it or something that would spice it up. Just bunches is the result of a bunch of cereal makers with no good ideas.

Raisin Bran Crunch


AKA RB Crunch AKA RBC.

Over the summer I have become extremely fond of this cereal. Many of you may be thinking "Raisin Bran EWW"..hold your tongues. This is not your typical Bran cereal with dried fruit. While the traditional Raisin Bran is a bit geriatric..RB Crunch is the new, hip, cool version. I would liken it to Obama vs. McCain. Although they are not too different, McCain is the soggy old douche guy, Obama is the hip fresh delicious one. But back to the cereal. No more do you have to worry about soggy flakes..somehow they have the technology to NOT ONLY keep the flakes crisp after the milk is added, but they made the flakes taste 1000000 times better, and like the name states "Crunch(ier)". They also added Oat Clusters. Holy Shit, Right? Crunchy, sweet, honey oat clusters. Hot damn. A 25.5 oz box(family sized) only cost like 3.25. And it fills you up, keeps you regular(the bran d00dz), and it tastes awesome.
