This is a huge box, and it expires in less than a week! Freakin' Target burned me. These are fine. They taste like cheerio -- sort of a mix of the apple cinnamon cheerios (but less sweet) and the multigrain ones (different shades of brown, a bit boring). Not much vanilla, really. They made me a bit nervous due to the appearance, but it reads safe and I lived. It's OK, but there's better cereals!

The reviews for these are quite positive, and for once, I agree with the masses! They are pleasant, lemony indeed, and have the same sweet vibe as the regular frosted cheerios. The lemon vibe does recall Trix, but not in a gross way. I even had a terrible toothache when I tried these but I still enjoyed them!

The oat crunch here does add a certain "heft", a certain "fillingness". So that's good. It smells just like berry flavored oatmeal, though, which isn't particularly tempting. And it has the mystery "vegetable juice" ingredient as well. For something that feels like a bit of a chore, I think it should have fewer carbs, but alas. It's filling and fine but not great.

Hey, these were pretty good! Much better than normal Cheerios, which I never much liked (although the older I get, the better they are). These basically taste like Alpha-Bits cereal, without the marshmallows, and that was one of my most favorite cereals. I only bought the General Mills variety pack because Kellogg's was having strike action, but I think I actually prefer it. Good job, Cheerios.

Gosh, who knew I tried so many hotel snacks on this Ohio trip. Cheerios are a real last-choice item for me, but you know, they weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. They had a little sweetness to them (or maybe that's the milk?) which made them a nice change of pace from the Cinnamon Toast Crunch sugar spree.
