Incredible Cereal Review
Another trip to Cub Foods means another cereal purchased and devoured – one more chapter in my never ending quest for the perfect movie/cereal cross promotion. This weeks candidate is the cereal for the movie The Incredibles. The Incredibles cereal is bold and creative. Its anthropomorphic edible bits enjoy the look of hollywood. The base is a magnificent golden puffy star that’s been ornamented with a light dusting of red ambiguous “berry”. I taste raspberries, a faint hint of strawberries, and am left with a subdued and gentle blueberry aftertaste. The cereal is very eye pleasing. So completely original and forward-thinking in design is the Incredibles that if contained in a glass jar, its playfulness will surely have your house guests oohing and aahing with puppy love over your air-tight display. Yet once you taste the cereal you are flooded with a heavy nostalgia for Captain Crunch Crunch Berries. The flavors have a lot in common. Overall, I give the cereal a solid eight stars. The flavor is an old favorite but wrapped up in a striking new package.

Two new posts on McSweeney’s: Pirate Riddles for Sophisticates and another cereal related inquiry entitled David Brooks Also Eats Cereal but probably nothing as good as The Incredibles.
