Follow your nose to the nearest Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s.
Ok, now I want you look past the Thickburger…
Kellogg’s Froot Loops Mini Donuts
Kellogg’s Froot Loops Mini Donuts (Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s)
I don’t know who Carl’s Jr. is and I have no idea what a Hardee is (an erection, maybe?), but you have got to freakin’ kidding me with new Kellogg’s Froot Loops Mini Donuts!
Let me give a little background. Until this writing, I never stepped foot in a Carl’s Jr. or a Hardee’s in my entire life. You see, I’ve spent my entire 32 years living in the Northeast. Check out this map which shows the only portion of the U.S. where these chains are not:
🙁
So when I heard Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s – which sport mostly identical menus – were offering Kellogg’s Froot Loops Mini Donuts, I wanted to cry. The pain only intensified when I began to hear how incredible they were.
It was at this point where I made it my undying mission to get these Froot Loops Mini Donuts, through Hell or High Water.
So I Googled the nearest location, and turns out I’ve been living 15 minutes from one for God knows how many years.
That was easy.
This is the second time in as many years that Kellogg’s Froot Loops have paired with a fast food hamburger joint to offer something that’s not. Burger King got a Froot Loops Shake? F*ck you, say’s Carl’s Jr. and Mr. Hardee. We’re gonna make some donuts!
Retailing at an unbelievable bargain of $1.99 at some locations and $2.99 at others, you get five brightly-colored mini donuts in a beautifully-branded box. Each donut is a dyed cake donut frosted in an identically-colored icing.
The colors are perfectly true to Froot Loops (excuse the absence of orange), but what about the taste?
Perfect. The resemblance is truly unbelievable.
Each donut tastes the same, and they taste identical to Froot Loops with no exaggeration at all. That sweet, artificial fruitiness is unmistakably Froot Loops. Now, this might be a pretty easy feat if they simply borrowed some chemical flavoring, but what’s truly amazing is that I can even taste the corn – in the exact amount I can taste it in the cereal.
Imagine the cereal when it’s been softened in milk, then jack them up in size until they’re donuts. The cake is soft and crumbly with crisp outer edges – especially where the icing rests.
Now dip them in milk and you’re truly eating donut cereal.
Does this make them the best donuts on the market? Of course not; a good Boston Cream is still more enjoyable than gigantic children’s cereal cakes. But never before has a junk food/fast food mash-up been executed so perfectly.
So head to the nearest Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s, get yourself some Froot Loops Donuts, maybe a Hot Ham ‘N’ Cheese… and just appreciate the world we live in today.
…unless you live in the Northeast, or just don’t know where you live like me.
