KVTRdMKg3zīITE-SIZED REVIEW: Boy, I don't know how they messed up Cinnabon Jumbo Snax this bad. With how sweet cereal is, I prefer this consistent taste to having filler marshmallows. After all, the amount of time it takes to read a tweet is about how long it takes to finish a Jumbo Snax pouch.īITE-SIZED REVIEW: Kellogg's Smorz Jumbo Snax are good! Spot-on for the cereal and I like combining the graham & chocolate components in one piece. So for these two new Jumbo Snax varieties, I figured I’d just tweet out my fast & furious thoughts. I’ve got a lot of stuff in my pantry, and with the whirlwind that is my life lately, I can’t get around to giving everything 600 words’ worth of reviewing. What do you think? Which would you try first? I thought Fillows were criminally underrated as an uber-indulgent dessert cereal, and any cereal that gives Golden Grahams the spinoff respect it deserves is a must-try in my book. As a test item, it’s therefore unclear when these Filled Bites might hit stores nationwide, nor is it guaranteed that they’ll even get a conventional release at all.Įither way, I sure hope they do. The above photo of two Crispy & Creamy Filled Bites cereals comes courtesy of Michael B., from a Hy-Vee in Minneapolis that is apparently a test store for General Mills-which makes sense, given that’s where the corporation is headquartered. Remember Fillows? The extremely dense and decadent filled pillow duo from 2019 which also got axed before releasing new flavors? Well, it appears they may be back, albeit with much more prominent cross-branding with existing General Mills properties. However, a year later, Tiny Toast was, well, toast-and its two flavors became Strawberry and Blueberry Toast Crunch, both of which were discontinued not long after.Īnd now, this seems to be happening again, at least in some sense. The highest profile case of this occurred with Tiny Toast, which, at the time, got a lot of publicity for being GM’s first truly new cereal brand in over a decade. It seems whenever the cereal behemoth finally gets around to releasing a totally new cereal IP, they end up backtracking and lumping it in with an existing, already well-known cereal family. Which is all to say that, ultimate widespread legitimacy of these Filled Bites aside, I feel a need to review them, if only to uphold the ephemeral legacy of Fillows-a decidedly dank and decadently dense cereal line that deserved way better. That guy lost the youth the minute the similarly glossy Hamburger Helper rhymed him outta relevancy. Plus plus, there’s a landing page out there for a possible Cinnamon Toast Crunch Filled Bites-which, while still apparently in its prototype stage would likely replace Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll here-as CTC no doubt has bigger brand clout with the kids today than portly/chortly ol’ Poppin’ Fresh. The artwork feels more finalized, but it’s just art on both sides, plus the box is a thinner cardboard than regular cereal boxes. Then I got these two boxes (with different artwork) from reader Ryan (thank you kindly!), but they also seem like samples. I first heard about these two cereals via the insider tip of a Hy-Vee worker at a Minneapolis location often used as a General Mills new product test store. Allow me to preface this review with the disclaimer that I honestly have no idea if these Filled Bites will ever hit mainstream shelves.
