Kellogg's ICEE Cereal - Cherry + Blue Raspberry

 Kellogg's ICEE Cereal - Cherry + Blue Raspberry

Very special thanks to my friend Matt for gifting me this cereal after I was cooking all weekend for his bachelor party weekend which I insisted on doing before anyone even asked. It was a great weekend and we had a good time with the lads. That being said, lets get to what we're all here for, the cereal.

First off, cracking open the box and opening the bag you're hit with a big blast of fruitiness, slightly sour, but mostly of cherry with it resembling very closely to cherry licorice nibs. Eating it dry the flavours are muted which are to be expected however something unusual occurs after you finish eating it. A cooling sensation wraps around your mouth and gradually gets stronger, but never to the point where you're wondering if you've just brushed your teeth. Adding milk to the cereal the colours really brighten up and the flavours come through much better or at least the cherry flavour is the more predominate flavour forward and blue raspberry can be detected in the background. The cooling sensation is still present and texturally they're very similar to corn pops or any other corn based puff/pop cereal. Cereal stayed crispy until the last bite with some evidence of sogginess beginning to develop near the end, but it wasn't at any sort of accelerated rate. Milk kept more of the cherry flavours over the blue raspberry and cooling feeling was still sticking around. Overall I really liked the cereal, but I kind of wished the 2 bags had separated flavours of ICEE's so that we could choose how to mix it ourselves like we could at the local convenience store or just have straight up 1 flavour. No puzzles for the kids on the box either.
