Kellogg's Cereal


Taste

Out of all of Kellogg's cereals, I only ever really liked Just Right. On my most recent tasting however, I've had a change of heart. Sustain now takes out the honour of the best Kellogg's cereal I've tasted. The reason for me is that both Just Right and Sustain are pretty similar (as you can see from their ingredients), but just sultanas are so boring. I don't know what it is with Corn Flakes, it is a bit like eating cardboard. They are bland and not even that crunchy. And they're not even that good for you! Special K is actually better than Corn Flakes, but only just. At least it's actually low fat.

Rating - Sustain - 6.5, Just Right - 6, Corn Flakes - 3, Special K - 3.5

Look

The packaging of each is distinctive of course, but really, there are much sexier packaging out there. And my pet hate is, you can never keep the cereals in the box once it's opened anyway.

Rating - 1.5

C-factor

I never really got why cereals are so expensive. Maybe it's the large amount of processing the ingredients go through? For a large-sized box they cost between $5-6. I'd rather pay more for some wholesome muesli anyday.
