Live look at Little Debbie and Kellogg’s agreeing to an alliance to save the calendar year:
Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to the latest sugar-coma inducing breakfast cereal: Kellogg’s Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie Cereal:
Mother. Of. God.
Now when I was a kid, some of the greatest sugar-bomb cereals of all time were already on the market. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (still the GOAT), Fruity Pebbles, Trix, Frosted Flakes, etc. But I can also remember a few cereal debuts that blew our minds. This one I couldn’t wrap my mind around when they announced it was going to be a thing in 1993:
Hand to God I think I fainted when I saw the first commercial for this stuff. ‘They’re making one of my favorite desserts into a cereal that I could eat EVERY DAY??’ Then there was this bad boy:
I think Cookie Crisp existed for a while, then went away, then came back in the 90’s. But anyone who has ever had a pulse has at one point or another considered putting a ton of fresh baked cookies in a bowl and just pouring milk over it. Well the creators of Cookie Crisp put that gluttonous day-dream into action with this creation.
Now we can only hope that this Oatmeal Cream Pie effort will be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this relationship. In no particular order, here are a few other Little Debbie snacks that I’d like to see made into a cereal that I can’t eat anymore because I’m old and it doesn’t contain enough soluble fiber:
Get crackin’ Kellogg’s.
PS: Remember those old 90’s breakfast cereal commercials? I think my favorite part of every commercial was the, ‘part of this balanced breakfast.’ at the end, where they showed a FEAST that you should be eating every day for breakfast:
Cereal, toast, bacon, eggs, butter, fruit, sausage. 90’s cereal commercials all assumed you were going to work a 16 hour day on the farm when they pictured your balanced breakfast. Buddy, I’m in 2nd grade. If I’m awake by the time the bus gets to school after this meal I’ll be lucky.
