What was meant to be a pumpkin spike taste test for a couple of items, turned into two store stops and $100.00 spent on *everything* pumpkin spice.
So, all week I’ll be taste testing and blogging the experience. And let me tell you, I’m dreading to taste test some of what I purchased. You’re welcome in advance, I’m taking all the pressure off of your shoulders. Lol.
Today it was cereal/breakfast themed.
My grades: Yay! . . . Ok? . . . NEVER AGAIN.
- Pumpkin Spice Cheerios – I tasted these after the show. Typical Cheerios with a not-so-great pumpkin aftertaste. Grade: Ok?
- Special K Pumpkin Spice – It tasted like classic Special K with a hint of pumpkin spice. Not too bad. Grade: Ok?
- Frosted Mini Wheats Pumpkin Pie Spice – This was the absolute best. Perfect balance of frosted sugar and pumpkin flavoring. No bad aftertaste. I will eat this box empty. Grade: Yay!
- Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Pumpkin Spice – This was the loser of the bunch. I was so disappointed. It just tasted like icky mush. I love Quaker Instant (and non-instant) Oatmeal, but this was a surprising ew. Stick to the other flavors. Grade: NEVER AGAIN.
