These cereal straws are being hyped everywhere, including on stickers on the sides of the two gallons of milk I bought today. Now I'm a fan of cereal. I'm a fan of milk. I'm even a fan of straws. But these just look nasty.
They're not bad when you eat them plain -- they're like those long chocolate-filled cookies in a tin that you see sometimes.
When you eat them as Kellogg's intended, however, they can get pretty nasty. The outside and ends fall apart in the milk before the frosting interior does, for starters...
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.
