Hocus Pocus 2

This weekend I'm reviewing two cereals that serve primarily as movie promotions - one from this year, and one from last year.

Name: Disney Hocus Pocus 2
Variation: n/a
Manufacturer: Kellogg's

Review: Boasting a "berry brew" flavor, Hocus Pocus 2 smells fruity right out of the box, and looks a bit like Apple Jacks, but in purple, yellow, and orange star shapes, with tiny green and purple flecks. But here's the trick. There's no magic, color-changing milk effect, but the secret of the "berry brew" is that the stars hold almost no flavor, and all that flavor just goes straight to the milk. So you're stuck with a bowl of plain-tasting stars. It's a bit reminiscent of Peeps cereal - but without the marshmallows. The taste isn't unpleasant (it's just plain), and the texture is fine. I think some marshmallows would have really helped. As it is, this cereal is very middle-of-the-road. Given that its primary purpose is to promote a movie, it's actually not terrible like I was expecting, but it's not particularly good, either. I have no strong desire to eat it again.

Leftover Milk: So this is where all the flavor went!
