The Gift That Keeps On Giving TIll It Kills You 5

Month five brought the long lost and feared missing cereal bowl specials. Five new flavors based on childhood cereal favorites -- corn flakes excluded. They were a good batch overall though I must admit the inclusion of the worst of the Captain Crunches was disappointing. I think a good Corn Pops or Honeycomb ice cream could be good. As long as they don't bring back that computer animated manic chihuahua thing. Jeez, what the hell was that??

 

- Off Limits Dash Cold Brew Cocoa Crisps

Scott: I don't really have much to say about this one. It was good. I'll just second what Liz said.

6/10

Liz: Standard coffee, but I like the chocolate swirl.

6/10 

 

 - Peanut Butter Captain Crunch (vegan)

Scott: Ain't ever going to eat no stinkin' peanut butter ice cream.

0/10

Liz: Peanut butter with a bit of a crunch. Kind of boring.

5/10 

 

- Corn Flake Cookies with Merrionberry Jam

Scott: I'll just be honest. I don't want jam in my ice cream. Does anybody?

Nope/10

Liz: Like a plain vanilla with a little bit of cookie any a few big veins of jelly. I like the jelly. Wish it was mixed in a little better. Mmm... 5.

- Snap Crackle Marshmallow Treats

Scott: Tasty base. Kind of creamy marshmallowy and yummy. Rice crispies themselves were more kind of like, "oh, huh? interesting." But, oh, that base!

8.5/10

Liz: Alright the base is good, tastes like milk at the bottom of the cereal bowl. [Editors note: yuck]. Has some rice crispies that are more chewy than crunchy. It's ok, something a little different. 

5.5/10


- Pots of Golden Rainbows

Scott: I liked the Lucky Charm marshmallows except when there were too many Lucky Charm marshmallows when I was, like, "woah! Marshmallows!"

8.5/10

Liz: Also has that milky bottom of the cereal bowl base. [Editors note: still yuck]. I like the colors. The marshmallow treats still have the flavor I remember, but not the melt in your mouth texture that I remember. It's good.
