review: *new* Shredded Wheat -- Frosted Mixed Berry
It seems Shredded Wheat has decided to get into the Frosted game. That's good; Mini-Wheats could use the competition. I decided to start with the Mixed Berry so I could compare it to the raspberry-filled Mini-Wheats I already had on hand (did you know they still made this? I never really thought about it until last month).
Anyhoo, as always, I started with the sniff test. I'd call it a "generic berry" scent. Then came the taste test. It took me a second to reacquaint myself with the texture of Shredded Wheat--it's been a while. They're closer to a square-shape than Mini-Wheats and also chewier. I'm sure the berry filling factors in there.
According to the box, the frosting is blueberry--and obviously, the filling is mixed berry--but it all tasted like Fruity Pebbles to me. Maybe I should bite off the frosted half to get a better idea of the flavor next time. I would still rank the aforementioned Mini-Wheats ahead of this (and Berry Fruitful even higher) but I'm still intrigued by the other two flavors (S'mores? Really?) and will definitely try them.
