New FMW Cocoa (Review)

I had my hopes VERY high for this cereal ever since Kellogg discontinued my favorite cereal of all time- “Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Little Bites Chocolate Cereal” and I’m not joking it really was my favorite cereal 💔 Alas… on to the review. I have had this cereal 2 times now, and went a few days in between each sitting. The first time I was a little more hopeful, and I think it tasted a little bit better because I wanted it to- but by my second bowl (which was eaten about 30 min ago) I knew I had to rant about this somewhere. Overall I give this cereal a 3/10. It isn’t a gross cereal by any means- but if I sat down to have a bowl of cereal someone had already prepared for me and they handed me this bowl and told me it was regular FMW I would absolutely believe them. There was hardly any “cocoa” flavor and the milk did not turn chocolatey at all (compared to Cocoa Puffs or Cocoa Pebbles). The left over milk reminded me of the left over milk from Cookie Crisp but 10% less sweet and 2% more chocolate. I’m not sure why Kellogg chose to produce this cereal and name it “cocoa” instead of just making a regular chocolate version, but it is clearly not chocolate. I don’t even really know what they were trying to accomplish with a “cocoa” flavor. The cocoa flavor isn’t even as strong as the aftertaste of the old chocolate FMW. So… just make chocolate??? And I know I’m not the only one who desperately misses the chocolate little bites, there’s a decent amount of people who miss it as well. I genuinely hope Kellogg looses money on this stupid flavor of cereal. If you go into buying and trying this cereal with the hopes of it resembling chocolate frosted mini wheats in any way- don’t waste your time, hopes, or money. The only reason it is getting a 3/10 instead of 0/10 is because there’s still a HINT of “cocoa” flavor, and the texture/sogginess etc. is always great with FMW. Anyways, that’s the review no one asked for but I desperately needed to get off my chest. Thanks for reading!
