Is Kellogg’s Unicorn Cereal a Magical Breakfast Experience?

Is there anything more fun than novelty breakfast cereals?

Of course there is... but for the sake of this blog post, let’s go with the notion that loud, colorful, and sugary breakfast cereals represent the pinnacle of daily life experiences. 

My friend C.J posted a picture on Facebook a few days ago of a box of Kellogg’s “Limited Edition” Unicorn Cereal. I said to my wife, “a review of that cereal would make a great blog post.”

It’s so ridiculously pink and girly — pandering to the current unicorn fad — that I had to try it. 

The cereal itself is shaped in “Os” — similar to Kellogg’s Fruit Loops — purple, red, and blue. There are little white crusty frosting pieces on the outside. 

Upon opening the box, you are greeted with a smell similar to processed frosting. So far, so good. 

I’ll bet you’d like to know how they taste...

Imagine — if you will — that a glazed donut and a Fruit Loop decide to have a baby. The resulting offspring is sort of like a fusion of both parents, but is ultimately unremarkable on its own...

... that’s what Kellogg’s Unicorn Cereal tastes like. 

(On the box it describes the flavor as “Magic Cupcake”...)

It’s not going to offend you, but it’s likely not something you’d buy again. 

Keep in mind, though, that this box of cereal offers fun that goes beyond a bowl of crunchy “Os” doused in milk.

There is a “key” on the side of the box that allows you to discover your unicorn name. You use the “first letter of your name” and the “month you were born” to determine this:

It turns out that my unicorn name is “Sunbeam Feather Wind”...

There’s also a “unicorn coloring page” on the back of the box — featuring a unicorn you can decorate all fancy with a box of crayons:

  

I’m not sure I’d recommend Kellogg’s Unicorn Cereal. I’ve heard from a number of our “mom friends” that their unicorn-loving kids didn’t care for the cereal. 

It’s not magical, but it won’t offend you...

But... If you have a blog and are looking to meet your monthly post quota, the $4 price tag is well worth the novelty value.
