review: *new* Raisin Bran with Bananas
FINALLY. I told you I wouldn't post again until I had something to review. So let's get to it while it's still fresh. 😃
First, note that it's Raisin Bran, not Raisin Bran Crunch. The banana chips provide all the crunch you need. And yes--in case you were wondering how bananas could get into a box of cereal--it's in chip form. So if you don't like banana chips, then don't bother. I will say this, though: all the chips I had today were edible. Perhaps, like me, you've bitten down on a hard banana chip that wouldn't give and that pretty much soured you on banana chips. Well, Kellogg's has made sure that these banana chips have a nice crisp bite with no brittle issues (although what happens if your cereal goes stale remains to be seen).
Let me back up to the sniff test: yep, there's a whiff of banana. And the bran flakes taste slightly of banana. I've never put sliced banana on a bowl of bran flakes--some combinations are too weird, even for me--so I wasn't sure what to make of this idea. I will say this, though: there were actually too many banana chips. I never thought I'd say that about a cereal add-in. Usually it's "not enough" or "they must be at the bottom of the box." So next I'd like to suggest some nice, fat coconut flakes. I think that could work in a Raisin Bran.
