Honey Cheerios


It is with a bitter-sweet sadness that I wave goodbye to my more hedonistic days of a croissant, café et clop chaque matin, re-immersing myself back into my former, simpler routine of academic life on the very tip of Scotland's East Fife Coast. It's for this reason that I chose to review Honey Cheerios; a humble cereal with an added flourish on top, a little je ne sais quoi.

Having previously reviewed standard Cheerios, I thought it was time to treat myself to the honey variety. Honey Cheerios take a good few minutes to go soggy, maybe even longer than regular Cheerios as they have an extra layer of honey for the milk to penetrate. The flavour remains bafflingly intact despite the milk tasting strongly of honey towards the end. My one qualm would be that the 'o' shapes were a lot smaller than I remembered. I am not sure whether this is due to Nestlé's cut backs and profit margins after the credit crunch or if I had just romanticised their size in my head...
Here are my ratings for Honey Cheerios:

Crunch Factor: 4/5

Flavour: 4/5


Aesthetics: 3/5


Filling: 3/5


Overall Rating: 3.5/5
