DESIGNER CEREAL!

I loooooove these, I love when people make designer foods like the Chanel McDonald's. So cute!!!


           
Can't imagine the would-be price of these...

The first...

Cereal! And cereal box prize.

Even though Grape-Nuts was not actually the first cereal which was actually called Granula, they are very similar. Granula was the first cold cereal manufactured in 1863. Read more...



Apparently this book was the first cereal box prize, from Kellogg's. 
It went from 10 cents in 1909, to 60 dollars today! Here is where I found all this out!









Cool! :)

Fruity Cheerios vs. Froot Loops




I've always loved Froot Loops because as a kid what more do you need in your cereal than lots of colors! A couple years ago though I ate Froot Loops for the first time in a while and realized that they weren't that  amazing. They got soggy quick and all the flavor ended up in the milk leaving you with spongy rings...
BUT...I tried Fruity Cheerios and wow!!! They're smaller and cuter and the colors are brighter (not sure if that's a good thing though), and they stay crunchy and flavorful for a while! They're the exact same texture as any cheerio. They also leave the milk tasting way better.


Fruity Cheerios
Calories per serving (3/4 cup) - 100
Total Fat per serving - 1.5g
Total Carbohydrate - 23g

PROS:
- Stay crunchy!
- Keep flavor
- Are smaller and cuter, in my opinion
- Are slightly healthier
- The box lasts longer because theres more O's!
CONS:
- Missing a blue one
- Sweeter, but for me that's actually a PRO

Cant think of anything else! They're so good.




Froot Loops

Calories per serving (3/4 cup) - 110
Total Fat per serving - 1g
Total Carbohydrate - 25g

PROS:
- All kinds of colors!
- Bigger pieces
- Are kind of frosted
CONS:
- Get soggy fast :(
- Lose flavor fast :(
- Make your milk a weirder color
- Too much air in the box, they go quickly!
- A little less healthy

As you can probably tell by now Fruity Cheerios WIN in my eyes! If you haven't tried them and like Froot Loops, definitely try them!!!
