Special K Strawberries & Crème Cereal

Not to k-hole on main, but it always weirded me out as a kid that there's a drug-named cereal marketed as a health cereal. Of course, I later found out the the cereal came first and the drug name was a play off of it. Kellogg's won the long game by keeping the name, since I don't think anyone really even calls ketamine Special K anymore. Anyway, I wish this were drugs and not cereal. But I'm on that full cereal, no drugs life (for all the good it does me!!). 

Much like frozen brocco, there's way too many similar varieties of Special K on offer. This particular one is not even on Kellogg's's website, or any website, but I have it in my hands so I know that it's real. It's actually much tastier than the 'Strawberry Cheesecake' flavor, since it's less artificial. Here we have flakes (classic), weird yogurt clumps (made me nervous and look kinda gross, but taste like a trail mix yogurt clump), and little bits of oat cluster (good). There is also an essence of dried strawberry, but no real strawberry pieces, and that's quite alright since I'd prefer no essence of dried strawberry at all. Pretty sweet and fatty for a health cereal -- in fact, maybe this isn't even intended to be health cereal and I just assumed it was because it sounded gross to me as a kid. The milk becomes very pink and I like that. It's also pretty filling. Special (bric)K. 

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10 (but like, 6.5/10 though)
