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’…

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!

Alpha-bits used to be my favorite cereal. Now you couldn’t pay me to buy it.

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.

Have you tried pouring soda-pop over your cereal? Sugary goodness!
