Review
A fairly thick, sugary glaze coats these crunchy corn-based flakes. Eaten dry, they’re very boldly and authentically sugary-sweet, with a light corn flavor. Notably, this corn flavor isn’t like other cereals — it’s much more pleasant and, honestly, not too noticeable because the cereal is so sugary-sweet. As a treat without milk, these are good and definitely snack-worthy.
In milk, the cereal itself gets much plainer because it seems to have lost much of its sugary coating; the corn flavor starts to shine through even more, which, again, isn’t a bad cereal corn flavor, reminding me of a sweetened Corn Flakes cereal. On the other hand, the cereal milk does pick up that sugary sweetness, which is a decent trade-off. The cereal as a whole remains fairly crunchy but does start to soften after some time, which I enjoy because of how clumpy and soggy it gets.
Overall, this cereal is, in a way, boring because it just tastes like sugar. However, it’s so tasty because the sweetness reminds me of being a kid–the sugary flavor genuinely tastes like authetic, solidified sugar–and when combined with the non-intrusive corn flavor, it just all works deliciously!
