Kellogg's Honey Smacks Breakfast Cereal, Made with Whole Grain, Kids Snacks, Family Size, Original, 23oz Box (1 Box)

As a child, I LOVED this cereal!! It was always a thrill to have it. I don't know if the cereal has changed, or if it's me. This was NOT a thrill to eat like it was when I was a child. It wasn't necessarily the flavor of the cereal, but more the texture. It was like chewing on small bits of Styrofoam. That, or the plain "puffed wheat" generic bag of cereal from the 70s. I was truly disappointed!! I have to say that I don't see me purchasing it again. Children might like it....... But as a child from the 70s it was NOWHERE near as good as I remembered; Sadly.

I'm old enough to remember when this was called Sugar Smacks,.. until sugar became a bad word. They are NOT the same as back then. I have been ordering the bagged MaltOMeal brand of the same type of cereal for years. It is much tastier, and retains its crunch longer in milk. It also is less expensive. For some reason, even though I specifically designate another substitution for my preferred cereal, WalMart has insisted upon sending the Kelloggs product when the bagged cereal is unavailable. If I miss the text about substitutions, I'm outta luck. Then it's up to me to return? I have it delivered for a reason. I designate specific subs for a reason. This has nothing to do with Kelloggs, obviously, but it's a note to others.
