Glazed Donut Holes - Original

Name: Glazed Donut Holes - Original
Variation: Glazed Donut Holes, Frosted Flakes
Manufacturer: Kellogg's

Review: This year, Kellogg's responds to General Mills' strategy for marketing novelty cereals - employed with the LOADED cereals last year, and the Minis before that - with its own promotion featuring some of its flagship cereals transformed into a new lineup. And the form they're taking is... Glazed Donut Holes! Gotta say, I'm excited to try 'em. It's interesting that they've chosen donut holes instead of loops. The box says they "did the math" to "deliver more glaze" ("max glaze = max flavor"), but I suspect that they just copy-pasted a couple of formulas from a geometry textbook, because in actuality, a sphere has a lower surface-area-to-volume ratio than a torus (i.e., donut shape)...

Regardless, we'll start with the Glazed Original flavor, reasonably released under the Frosted Flakes banner, since Frosted Flakes is just corn flakes with a layer of frosting. They're crispy - not soft like actual donut holes - but do have that glazed donut flavor. On the other hand, I don't know if it's because it dissolves the glaze, but after adding milk, the taste of the corn flour base begins to impede the "donut-y" impression. Altogether, this cereal is pretty plain. It's okay to eat, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to buy it again. However, I'm still looking forward to trying the other two flavors.
