Lucky Charms Honey Clovers

Name: Lucky Charms Honey Clovers
Variation: Lucky Charms
Manufacturer: General Mills

Review: Here's an intriguing concept - Lucky Charms, but where the plain pieces are flavored with honey. I think there's a lot of similarity between this cereal and Lucky Charms Marshmallow Clusters, as the Honey Clovers add a crunchiness to the cereal, but they don't seem as bulky as the Marshmallow Clusters (which is a plus in my book). The difference is, of course, the honey flavor. I keep expecting these honey cereals to be extra sweet, but it's actually more of an earthy flavor. No wonder it's frequently paired with nuts. Anyway, this cereal is pretty good.

Leftover Milk: A faint hint of honey.

Honey Nut Frosted Flakes

Name: Honey Nut Frosted Flakes
Variation: Frosted Flakes
Manufacturer: Kellogg's

Review: This is a good idea for a cereal; after all, "Honey Nut" did wonders for Cheerios. But it takes a lot to get me to like Frosted Flakes (spoiler: you have to make it chocolate, and add marshmallows). You can smell the nutty, honey aroma as soon as you open the box, but I daresay the smell is stronger than the flavor. Is it better than regular Frosted Flakes? I'd say so. But I can't foresee any scenario in which I'd pick this cereal over just buying Honey Nut Cheerios, and especially not while Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch is on the shelves.

Trix Trax with Marshmallows

Name: Trix Trax with Marshmallows
Variation: Trix
Manufacturer: General Mills

Review: The unexpected appearance of this cereal blindsided me less than a week before the release of the latest Jurassic World movie. It's exactly what you would expect from a box of Trix with marshmallows added, but the branding is a lot of fun. The very colorful fruity pieces are shaped like T-Rex tracks, although the marshmallows are a bit more vague. I like the white dino eggs, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the different-colored two-toned marshmallows are supposed to be. I swear they look like Space Invaders. Anyway, this isn't my favorite Jurassic World tie-in (that would be Dairy Queen's Jurassic Smash blizzard - peanut butter and cookie dough - which they offered when the first movie came out), but it's Trix with a dinosaur theme! Grab a box before they're extinct.

Leftover Milk: Only slightly sweet.

Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch

Name: Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch
Variation: Honey Nut Cheerios
Manufacturer: General Mills

Review: This cereal can no longer be considered a novelty, as it's become a regular fixture both on the store shelves and on top of my fridge, but I remember a time some years ago when it was still new. And while I'll admit that I usually gravitate toward the "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" family of cereals, for a healthy-sounding cereal (I'm not saying it's a health food, but it is Cheerios, and the emphasis on oats and nuts targets a different kind of customer), it's actually quite good. It's got both loops and flakes; the oat and nut clusters provide a satisfying crunch; and the leftover milk has a pleasantly sweet and nutty flavor. Not only does it render regular Honey Nut Cheerios pretty much obsolete (this cereal is like the Super Nintendo sequel to Honey Nut Cheerios), but it has acquired the honor of being one of the few cereals I would consider for the spot of my "Top Favorite". Can you believe that?
