Curiosity killed the cat and it also made me want to combine Mtn Dew Thrashed Apple with Apple Pie Toast Crunch. The Dew's green apple sourness overwhelms the cereal's sweet apple flavor. The overall flavor isn't as weird as eating cereal in soda.

It's that time again. It's time to play Guess How Much I Paid For This On eBay! Here we have Snicker Peanut Brownie. It won't be available publicly until January 2021. But 1,000 boxes were given away this past summer, and this is one of them. So how much did I pay for it?

The magic in Lucky Charms cereal is the ability to make us eat mediocre lightly sweetened oat cereal we would never eat without marshmallows.

What if next year @Oreo doesn't release any new flavors, but instead brings back one discontinued limited edition flavor every month throughout the year. It's just a dream, but I'd really like to see Cotton Candy, Creamsicle, and Pumpkin Spice Oreo come back.
