News: Target Launches Market Pantry Cereal Bowl Ice Cream

Market Pantry Target Cereal Bowl Ice Cream

You know, if it weren’t for the Country Music Awards, we might not be in this mess.

See, the use of “Cereal,” “Cereal Bowl” or any other such noshing nomenclature really needs to be standardized. When a company tries to infuse cereal flavor into a distinctly non-cereal entity, there’s no bottom line for quality control or forced respect for the wild diversity of cereal flavor available. Much like the Food & Drug Administration, I feel we need to establish a similar agency to ensure we don’t grow complacent with plain ol’ cinnamon as the generic stand-in for cerealized snacks.

Such a bureau would have to be called the Cereal & Milk Administration, but who would take our acronym seriously?

Now I’m not knocking on Target’s Market Pantry store brand, but out of all the possible iconic cereal tastes you could choose as the stuff’s ice cream ambassador, the likeness of Cinnamon Toast Crunch—itself an interpretation of a different breakfastuff—seems underwhelming compared to the possibilities presented by Froot Loops, Golden Grahams, or even Crunch Berries.

But hey, if Cereal Bowl Ice Cream sounds right up your aisle, don’t let my mildly lactose-intolerant mewling take your eyes off the prize. I’ll still probably buy it, just to spite my intestines.

They’ve been getting reeeeeal cocky lately. Someone’s gotta put ’em in their place.

News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Swirls Paths with Kith

If wearing the milky dregs of a breakfast’s worth of Cinnamon Toast Crunch as a mustache isn’t enough of a cereal fashion statement to you, you’re in luck.

Launching today in Kith flagship stores and tomorrow in Tokyo locations, Cinnamon Toast Kith is the latest in a long line of licensed partnerships for the streetwear brand. Heck, in 2016 Cap’n Crunch did the same thing.

There are plenty of apparel and accessories in the line, but what really drew my interest was more edible than a purple bathrobe:

Cinnamon Toast Kith itself. A custom-branded box bears a not-so-groundbreaking medley of Chocolate nd Cinnamon Toast Crunch squares, plus CTC Churros to boot. While I would have been probably drawn to shell out for one if CTK tasted like molasses-slathered wallet lining, I’d imagine this unique pairing ot chocolate and cinnamon + noodly and normal textures still forms an interesting mouth climate.

You can learn more about Cinnamon Toast Kith (I’ve almost written Kix, a delicious Freudian slip, several times) here. And if you have a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Kith, or the ice cream x cereal treats they’re serving in store, tweet us a pic at @cerealouslynet.

News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bites are Coming Soon to the Freezer Aisle. And Your Stomach!

(Update: We reviewed Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bites!)

I go nuts, you go nuts, we all go nuts for bite-sized, Cinnamon Toast Crunch-encrusted doughnuts!

General Mills formally announced their new summer product lineup yesterday, and while all the traditional cereals mentioned, like Apple Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Blueberry Chex, have already been on shelves long enough for me to shamefully eat a family of family-sized boxes, one frozen novelty somehow avoided early distribution or online news leakage: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bites!

Coming soon to grocery freezer aisles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch are soft, cinnamon sugar-dusted doughnut holes filled with cinnamon filling that turns warm and gooey when heated. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Cinnamon Toast Crunch doughnut, and it’s not the first time we’ve seen a filled cinnamon doughnut hole—these seem like a spiritual successor to Taco Bell’s Cinnabon Delights.

But it is the first time we’ve been able to savor sweet, doughy cinnamon swirls in every bite within 30 seconds of open packaging. That’s how long it takes to make a Cinnamon Toast Crunch bite in the microwave, an I’m thankful.

Because that’s just enough time to scarf down an appetizer bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in anticipation.

News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch’s #SquadBowls Let You Eat Cereal with Friends!

Do you ever feel lonely snapping pics and snacking on Kix with your Selfie Spoon?

Do you feel your friendships would be stronger if your faces were all smushed uncomfortably close together?

Do you have a need for hashtags at the breakfast table, because hash browns alone just aren’t cutting it?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then Cinnamon Toast Crunch has you covered. After the success of the Selfie Spoon, CTC has introduced their latest invention: #squadbowls. These interconnected cereal bowls are perfect for cereal parties and breakfast clubs, and they’d probably make great skate parks for all your Tech Deck Dudes, too.

You can buy them at squadbowls.com. Depending on how popular you are, they come in 3, 4, 5, and 6 person sizes. But you’ll have to act quickly: the first 10 bowls each day (starting at 10am EST each day from now until 4/17) are only $0.99. After that, even the cheapest #squadbowl will run you back a whopping $59.99.

At that rate, you’ll be filling the bowls with Malt-O-Meal, for sure.

It goes without saying that our fast fingers here at Cerealously already snapped up one of the first 10 bowls. Expect an in-depth look as soon as it arrives.

Now does anyone know where I can buy some friends?

News: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Introduces the “Selfie Spoon”

Riddle me this:

What’s over 30 inches tall, purple, and watches you eat breakfast?

If you said “that creepy guy in the Grimace costume that crashed on my couch after the McDonald’s Halloween party,” you’d probably be right. But that’s not quite the answer we were looking for today.

Perhaps a better question is:

How many times have you dropped your phone in a bowl of milk after trying to take a selfie with your cereal? It’s okay, you can admit it. Multitasking is hard. And so is cleaning 2% out of your iPhone speakers.

Luckily, the 21st century visionaries at Cinnamon Toast Crunch have a solution. It’s called the Selfie Spoon, and via remote, you can now eat and tweet a picture of you with a mouthful of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, all at the same time!

Visit selfiespoon.com if you want to order your own: the spoon itself is free and the buyer only pays shipping. We here at Cerealously already have ours ordered, so expect some Snap, Crackle, Pop snapshots worthy of Golden Graham Instagram any day now.

I guess now we can be thankful that Wendell disappeared from boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch: can you imagine trying to explain to that old guy what a selfie is?
