IHOP Mini Pancake Cereal - Blueberries & Syrup
This one I was pretty excited for, but to give you a TLDR before the review even begins I would recommend you try it once however this one isn't one you'll want to keep restocking your cupboards with. Opening the box you get some intense syrupy aromas coming through with a touch blueberry. The cereal itself looks like they took something similar to corn pops and just squished them down; similar texture and crunch, just flatter. Adding milk just intensifies the syrup flavours and the blueberries take a backseat. Note: these are table syrup/pancake syrup flavour not maple syrup. After a few minutes of eating the milk takes on a nice blue colour, but it doesn't help the blueberry flavours come through. It begins to get soggy a little sooner because of the larger surface area, but never did they go to mush like something like a mini wheat or the like. If you like syrup then you'll like this cereal. I feel like I've repeated myself a bunch of times now, but the blueberry flavour is faint, but present and another thing to point out is that the poptart style blueberry flecks of sprinkles on the pancake cereal don't really dissolve that well and it's a bit of a tough time scooping them out of the milk by the end of it. Post cereal milk kind of tastes like an overly sweet blueberry ice cream which was the best part of the experience, but not something to look forward to every time you pour a bowl. To give credit where it's due, they did a good job making it look like mini blueberry pancakes doused with syrup and thinking about it now this is very much just a cookie crisp base cereal with different finishes considering they're both made by the same company.
