Breakfast Cereal

We brought home a couple of boxes of the Wally World "Great Value" brand cereal the other week.

Usually, I stay away from the generic products that are not commodities like butter or sour cream. Especially the cereals that seem to have such silly names when placed alongside such cultural icons as Cap'n Crunch.

From what I have experienced, the Great Value cereals are fantastic. The Cocoa Puffs WalMart analog actualy tastes to me the way Cocoa Puffs USED to taste. All the chocolate, all the sugar. Yum. Apple Jacks? The Wally World "Apple Blasts" appear to have actual dehydrated apple in them, as opposed the recycled cardboard Kellogs started using at some point in the past. 100% sugar-ness. They, too, taste like the Apple Jacks of old.

If you are into such things, pick up a box of the Pseudo-Cocoa Puffs and give them a try. Along the lines Pepsi Throwback, I swear they are making Sugary Kid Cereal Throwback.

That's a good one!

Ironic. I have found that generics can be very good. Bottom Dollar (Food Lion) brands are all $2 a box, and have the varieties that I eat. Same with Aldi and Wegmans...great prices.

Now for the ironic part....Yesterday while shopping at a Dollar Tree , I came across a box of generic Cocoa Puffs. It was a 7oz. box and it was MADE IN EGYPT?????????

I did, but I have to be honest, being a fan of Cocoa Puffs, I was curious about an A/B comparison.

That is about the last place I'd expect to see "Made in Egypt".
