![]() ![]() ![]() I enjoy eggs, pancakes, waffles, bacon, bagels, etc. Now, I don’t want my tepid reaction to hinder how good this cereal really is I’m just not a huge cereal person generally. I’ll say this about New Kellogg’s S’mores Krave Cereal: it’s pretty good. New Kellogg’s S’mores Krave Cereal: The innards! Today’s junk food: New Kellogg’s S’mores Krave Cereal! DC supposed to hit 60 degrees this weekend! Someone grab me a margarita… So yes, I’m glad that the temps are warming up. “It’s cold out!” “PUT A SCARF ON! KIDS THESE DAYS!”) (Sometimes I feel like I’m becoming more and more of an old man. IT’S DAMN COLD AND YOU RESPECT IT, SISTER. They do this BECAUSE they RESPECT the fact that it’s cold, not because they DON’T think it’s cold at all. They KNOW you need to keep your core warmed with layers, cover all skin at the extremities, wear a hat, etc. They just know how to DEAL with it appropriately. My friend Anne, who is from Minnesota, explained it best to me years ago – it’s not that Minnesotans don’t think it’s cold. Just because I grew up in a place where sometimes we had snow flurries still at EASTER doesn’t mean that I’m some tough guy, able to brave the elements better than any other! When I wake up and put my feet on my cold wood floor, I immediately leapt back into bed and whimper, “Chilly toesies!” I wasn’t running around on Tuesday in the subzero weather with no jacket on, scoffing at people wearing hats saying, “What, a little cold make you scared? PUT YOUR SHOULDERS UP, WIMP.” No, I was wearing three layers of pants and four layers up top. Granted, the area where I’m from had snow plows running like buses 24 hours a day, whereas here in the DC Metro area, there’s like eight snow plows for a 40 mile radius, but whatever.īut when it comes to cold, COLD IS STILL COLD. Usually in the DC area, when schools are shut down for 3 inches of snow, the rest of the country chuckles and says things like, “WE HAVE EIGHTEEN INCHES UP HERE IN WISCOMINSOTA, YOU PANSIES AND WE’RE STILL GOING TO SCHOOL!” And yes, I get it – when there’s literally NOTHING on the ground, it does look a little silly when the entire government shuts down. During the coldest day, Tuesday, when even DC was reading in the negatives, a co-worker asked me if I scoffed at this cold since I was from Upstate New York. NEXT: hopefully you survived the polar vortex that swallowed up a major portion of the United States over the past couple days. Get off your booty and start tweeting me! And enter via Twitter! Literally ONE PERSON has tweeted me a picture, and he’s going to win that MunchPak with NO COMPETITION. Seeing a “Minions” cereal on the shelf just made me think, “Wow, it took that long?” Timing it with the upcoming movie makes sense, but since the characters have blown up so big and long since escaped being tied with the Despicable Me license, it seemed like Universal would have wanted to milk that cash cow a while back.Īs of now, I like the Minions.Junk Food Nation, first things first – if you haven’t entered my MunchPak contest, you need to. They’re harmless, funny, and the humor harkens back to old slapstick more than modern Dreamworks humor. Shrek’s humor always had that not-subtle coating of cynicism and mean-spiritedness, something that made it age very poorly for me. But old school slapstick is timeless.Īnd the fact that these characters literally speak gibberish is fantastic. I’m actually disappointed the upcoming movie has human characters. I would have loved to have seen how far they could take a movie with no dialogue, and survived solely on the lunacy of the characters. Like the first half of Wall-E on amphetamines. I’m not too thrilled with those Minions memes on Facebook, though. It was surprising that the cereal didn’t involve marshmallows in some capacity. Though I was grateful for the respite, given the terribleness of the last two marshmallow-containing movie tie-in cereals I’d had. Instead, Minions cereal goes with a square cereal piece with Minion designs on them. Whether the cereal pieces would be more Golden Graham or Cinnamon Toast Crunch was yet to be determined, but it looked like CTC was the front runner. The box design is good enough – it gives you a giant Minion design and shows some of the cereal, so it gets the point across. Other than that, there’s not too much on the box worth noting. The presence of “berry” in the flavor didn’t do much to lift my spirits. Thankfully, upon opening the box, the banana smell was not overwhelming.
