Sugar Free Alpha-Bits
Why would they do this?!? Sugar Free? And the box looks the same! That's just mean!
So I was going to have a bowl of cereal as a little snack tonight and I was pretty disappointed. I don't generally keep sugar around the house so I had to use powdered sugar. It actually worked pretty good, just don't watch anything too funny when you eat it because if you laugh you might accidentally inhale some of the sugar...
Think dry cardboard-ish Cherrios, but still in cool letter shapes.

 Have you tried pouring soda-pop over your cereal? Sugary goodness! |
 OMG, I also bought it without realizing it was not the same cereal. it's vile. bland and vile. Cherios has a sweetness. this is just wrong. |
 Alpha-bits used to be my favorite cereal. Now you couldn't pay me to buy it. |
 Important news regarding Alpha-Bits! The good old sweetened version is BACK...at least temporarily. I just found a "Limited Edition" sweetened variety in a darker blue box at my local Target store. I bought a box, sampled a few, and it's the classic sweet taste and crunch we all remember, at least IMO. The fact that those horrid no-sugar things are off the shelves all but proves they were the New Coke of "improved" cereals. May Post have sense enough to take the hint and permanently keep the classic sweetened version in production and FORGET this earlier mistake. You want to give your kid an unsweetened oat cereal...get Cheerios in the yellow box! |

Gary Said... pinged (on July 13, 2007 10:44 AM): Limited Edition Alpha-Bits: So about 18 months ago I mentioned that Post removed all the sugar from Alpha-Bits cereal. Not only that, they removed all the flavor! They were awful!!! So someone e-mailed me last week about the new "Special Edition" dark blue box that was out. Here'... |
