Sugar Crisp

Sugar Crisp Cereal
By Post

I forgot my laptop charger so I didn't get a chance to watch any other movies, so here is a review of Post Sugar Crisp Cereal!

So I haven't had this since I was in high-school. I remember never really liking it back in the day. There's definitely something odd about this cereal. What with all those half-baked Sugar Bear commercials and the strange puffy texture of the cereal, plus its milk-absorbtion quotient, it's a far cry from Cheerios and Frosted Flakes.

Let's start with the mascot. Forget Scoobie-Doo. Sugar Bear should be the icon for stoners everywhere. That motherfucker is high all the time and he never stops smiling. And the song... "Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp..." Clearly a burn-out cast off from the beat generation, all this jive-talking, sleepy-eyed bear craves is quality "sugar" and breakfast cereal for munchies.

Here are some pros and cons.

Pros: Softer, more streamlined cereal morsels prevent damage to the roof of the mouth; non-crunchy texture differentiates it from other cereals; pleasant if unassuming sugary taste.

Cons: Relatively high milk-absorption quotient - cereal can become soggy and inedible after prolonged soaking; lack of crunch renders eating experience less aurally satisfying; odd underlying wheaty taste contrasts with sugary coating; looks kinda weird; disconcerting mascot.

Overall, better than I remember it being, but no equal to stalwarts such as Golden Grahams and Lucky Charms. Better luck next time Sugar Bear!

... THIS JUST IN. Apparently the cereal has been called Golden Crisp for some time due to image concerns with the more sugary title. However, I really can't be bothered to go downstairs and check the box. If this is the case, one further complaint about the cereal is that it's really much more brown than golden. I know that bear used to sing Sugar Crisp.... hmmm...
