review: Frosted Mini-Wheats -- Maple and Brown Sugar

This is a reliable flavor in my family--my dad has eaten it, my grandma eats it regularly. What is it about Maple and Brown Sugar? I thought about it while eating (a little too much of) it yesterday. Maple on its own--while perfection on pancakes--might be underwhelming on cereal. Brown Sugar might actually come off too strong. But when you put the two together, the balance of flavors keeps you coming back for more. It's one I always look forward to slightly more than the fruit varieties.

Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
