It used to be better a few years ago, but ever since they changed the recipe to become bigger, flatter flakes, Special K lost what little appeal it had in the first place. However, it seems like Special K was designed as a vehicle for fruit, so add a handful of berries and it rockets up the list exponentially.
One of the very few breakfast cereals with actual chocolate inside of it. The first few bites of Nesquik are always great. Mini Wheats are a solid choice as a standalone snack. Where it runs into problems as a cereal is the wheats themselves are too large to get proper milk saturation. In theory, eating a bowl of mini cookies sounds delicious. What they failed to tell you is Cookie Crisp tastes like a no-name version of chocolate chip cookies. Hands up if you ever poured sugar on Rice Krispies as a kid?
Alpha-Bits bring up so many fond memories of spelling things out in milk. Crunchy as hell. The cereal itself is okay, but a positive byproduct is the delicious milk byproduct that comes from French Toast Crunch. On its own, Golden Grahams are kind of a one-note cereal. But there is no escaping that this is mega tasteless, and we may as well be shovelling porridge oats down. Not even strawberries or sugar can make this better. If you want to ruin your day before you even step out the door then indulge in this cardboard like stuff.
A dieters favourite for some reason, but definitely not a favourite of your taste buds. Due to their bright colour unsuspecting breakfast folk are forgiven for expressing excitement whenever they receive a fresh bowl of this, because they unrealistically expect for them not to taste so BLAND. No thank you. Essentially this is just another way to eat a load of biscuits doused in milk. Too sickly, too sweet, and the cereal is quite hard and jaggedy.
Bit like bird food and can always be found lurking in hotel breakfast buffets. And it never really is at one with the milk, and instead floats escaping your spoon. Quite lovely, but sadly a bit bland, and can only be salvaged by pouring a boat load of sugar into the bowl. But not all doom and gloom, as they have a great capability to be made into rice krispy chocolate squares.
Nice bit of chocolate flavour, but are prone to getting quite soggy after a few minutes. Only worth it if you plan on hoovering it up pronto. Sugar frosted, a cool friendly tiger, these are always a good option. Where the cereal is a letdown, however, is in the marshmallow candies themselves. The texture of the charms is bizarre, and it's actively unpleasant when you crush them between your teeth. It's deeply unsettling, like biting through Styrofoam pellets. After a week of embracing American culture, one thing was clear: This stuff is wildly unhealthy.
The sugar is often so intense it's nauseating, and they taste a million miles away from a balanced diet. I found myself naturally gravitating towards the non-fruity options. I'm under no illusion that they're any better for you, but they seemed less insidious than the cereals that boasted of their natural flavors while also being stuffed with sugar. Of the cereals I tried, Cookie Crisp takes the throne. It strikes the right balance between sweetness and flavor, and it didn't leave me feeling queasy.
I even went back for seconds a day later. That said, none of the cereals have convinced me I've been missing out on anything life-changing, and I'm unlikely to change my breakfast habits any time soon. There's still plenty of American kids' cereals I haven't had a chance to try yet I'm looking at you, Count Chocula , so maybe I just haven't tried the right one yet.

Rob Price and Melia Robinson. For this experiment, I decided to try eight American cereals that aren't widely available in the United Kingdom and that I hadn't tried before.
That meant no Frosted Flakes or Coco-Pops, for example. I was to have one a day for breakfast, assessing their flavor, texture, scent, presentation, and overall experience. Day 1: Classic Trix. Oh god, what have I let myself in for? Day 2: Cap'n Crunch. Day 3: Reese's Puffs. Awww yeah, this is the good stuff. Day 4: Fruit Loops. Froot Loops: Not even once. Day 5: Cookie Crisp.
Incredibly unhealthy.
