Honey Bunches of Oats - observation/problem

[Bugsinrugs]

Holy Cow… Tim Tams!

[KNS]

I love Honey Bunches mixed 50/50 with Cheerios.

I have, a couple times, found a few rock hard "bunches". Not the whole box, though.

Especially the multi grain Cheerios mixed with it.


Those are some nice Tim Tams, why does that picture make me want to go to Mexico?

I think Oreos changed their filling recipe, but in this case for the better!
It used to be kinda crumbly, but I have bought 3 or 4 packs of Double Stuft style over the past 6 months, and the filling is creamy and tastes WAY better than before. I thought the first package was a fluke, but the other ones were just as good.

Great set of haunches there...

Send the cereal company a complaint snail mail. Odds are you'll get coupons for free boxes

I used to love Oreos, then I started reading labels.

I read the label. I still love oreos. They are great for my diabetes especially with milk.

seriously, ive given them up mostly. When I worked in an office the vending machine sold the little packs of oreos and for years I would eat one pack for breakfast every day. bad.

Raisin Bran Crunch is by far my favorite cereal. Never gets soggy in milk.

Then I'd buy another and the center wouldn't splinter - it would be more like a toffee filling and just crunch. They were always a disappointment.

Absolutely. I've also had butterfingers where there were pockets of hard bits in a sea of the softer more crumbly stuff.

Absolutely, I didn't get them often, but the marathon bar, basically just a lattice of chewy caramel with a coating of chocolate. The last time that I remember getting one was probably the late 70s or early 80s at a little store down from my grandparents house.

Just opened a new box. Again, very hard. Tooth shattering hard.

Anyone experience this?

What the hell is going on!!!!!!!

-dont even get me started on Ho Ho's. After 40 years of no Ho Ho's, I recently bought a box. Not even close to what they were. I remember being in 4th grade and being able to peel off the chocolate layer in 1 piece.....no way can you do that now. They don't even taste the same...but this is a topic for another day I guess

Pick your poison - shards of glass or Capt'n Crunch and let the blood flow
