Kellogg’s Peeps Cereal
Look, I don’t care if this cereal is good or not. I just HATE that I’m staring at a family sized box of Peeps as tall as my head, with two giant Peeps staring directly into my soul.
If Kellogg’s Peeps Cereal has anything going for it, it’s that ALL cereals are scientifically proven to be better with marshmallows. This cereal not only has marshmallows, but is also marshmallow-flavored. Will doubling down on that one thing produce the cereal we didn’t know we needed?
Probably not, because Peeps are the Devil’s trash.
The cereal expires in November 2019, but if the Law of Peeps applies, it will taste better in November 2020.
The corn-based cereal pieces are yellow, pink, and blue with a white glaze and a few little white crunchy bits stuck to them. They draw an instant comparison to Froot Loops if you extracted the fruity flavor and just added generic sweetness, which is exactly what the Kellogg’s Unicorn Cereal tastes.
I can’t say they taste like marshmallows at all, but at least they don’t taste like stale food coloring like real Peeps do.
The marshmallows taste great. There was a huge missed opportunity to coat the marshmallows in sugar crystals to give the type of crunch you’d expect from Peeps, however.
Milk does it no favors. The sweet, non-marshmallowy coating doesn’t really hold up and you’re left with some corn-based loops, with marshmallows. I’ll take mushy corn loops over Peeps any day, but it is not unlike so many other cereals that already exist.
Kellogg’s Peeps Cereal is a lazy, re-branded cereal that just tosses pre-existing parts together with some new dyes.
Basically, f*ck Peeps and f*ck this cereal.
Burning Questions:
- What do you have against Peeps? Everything.
- What did they ever do to you? Exist.
- Why are stale Peeps better than regular Peeps? Because they’re dead.
