Pop quiz! Without reading ahead, where was this photo taken?
If you answered “a pumpkin patch,” “my dreams,” or “an idealistic utopia in which Halloween occurs 365 days a year,” you would, unfortunately, be incorrect.
Nope, reader Marc P. spotted these elusive Mini-Wheats Pumpkin at his local Wegmans store and, as any true cereal fan would, wanted to share it with the world. Thanks, Marc!
Personally, I’m equally as interested in whatever amazing Halloween confection the Pillsbury Doughboy is hawking. I want to buy it simply so I can coat random passerby in black and orange sprinkles like the world’s most annoying sandman.
Unfortunately, we here at Cerealously are still desperately searching for a box for ourselves. So Marc, if you’d like to pour a bowl and grab a Ouija board, perhaps our ethereal spirit could consume it in lieu of our corporeal bodies. Or maybe I’ve just been watching too many horror movies.
Kellogg’s has been promoting this cereal pretty heavily, so you may have already seen it carving up your Twitter timeline.
This post ended a little short, so how about we brighten your Friday with a classic Mini-Wheats commercial, from before the entire ethos of the cereal became “anthropomorphized squares help kids get to school on time.” This commercial makes one yearn for a simpler era, when the entire world had a VHS filter draped over it and people could drop When Harry Met Sally references with reckless abandon.

I really like – or should i say love (since i love almost every cereal, except froot loops ^^ – mini wheats, which are btw called “Toppas” here in Germany and always led to a little misunderstanding ^^ (I always thought “Mini Wheats” were refering to the small bite version we call here “Toppas Mini”, but instead this is just the brand name and even the regular ones are called _mini wheats_. The small sized version we call “mini” are probably the “Little bites” xD
Long story short, i really like them from time to time and my favorites are the ones with raisin filling (we only have the classic ones, raisin (they are called grape mini wheats, but it’s raisin flavor ^^) and chocolate in germany), and would like to know how cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and so on cometogether with the “fibrous” and delicious taste of the mini wheats 🙂
Can’t wait for your always so detailed review of them! 🙂
