Name: Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
Variation: Cocoa Puffs
Manufacturer: General Mills
Review: After all of these bland promotional cereals manufactured by Kellogg's and Post that I've been trying, this is a breath of fresh air. It's General Mills, and it's chocolate with marshmallows. You can't go wrong. It's basically Cocoa Puffs with marshmallows. The marshmallows, while adding a nice splash of color (that almost completes the rainbow), are tiny (like hot cocoa marshmallows), and don't add a lot of flavor to the cereal. But the base flavor is a solid cocoa, so I have no complaints. This is how you do a promotional cereal - choose a familiar flavor people will like, and just add a novel twist.
I was wondering why General Mills left out Cocoa Puffs when it emblazoned six of its flagship cereals (including Cookie Crisp, which never gets any novelty attention) with characters from the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but now I know why. I'm just disappointed this cereal disappeared from the shelves so fast.
Rating: 🥣🥣🥣
Leftover Milk: Cocoa-licious.
