When I was younger I had a strange dream. I had a job as an idea man at a cereal company. My big idea was to put raisins in everything. Raisin Corn Flakes. Raisin Rice Krispies. Raisin Froot Loops. Everyone at the company loved it. I was a big success.
That never happened, of course. Part of the reason is that anyone can put raisins into their cereal whenever they want to. But what about the marshmallows? Not real marshmallows, those don't hold up as well under a barrage of milk. I mean "marshmallows", the kind found in Lucky Charms. (Mmmm... Lucky Charms... OK, I'm back.) What if you want to put them on your oat bran?
Well -- if I may slip into announcer mode for a moment here -- now you can! Thanks to CerealMarshmallows.com!
Here is what the sellers of this product have to say about it (punctuation and capitalization errors left intact):
"Cereal Marshmallows are great tasting Marshmallows Comparable to the leading cereal with marshmallows, But this is 100% Marshmallows only, Give your cereal a great taste and when add them to regular oat bran or wheat bran cereal, They make it taste great and it's a great way to get kids (or adults) to enjoy eating healthier cereal."
It's a little bit like The Sneaky Chef, except that you are putting sweetness onto healthy food instead of the other way around.
My main reservation isn't the idea of putting a sugary substance onto something healthy. I put brown sugar on my oatmeal almost every morning. It's the fact that there are no ingredidents listed on the website. And that you order via PayPal. The possibility exists that some lunatic is simply buying Lucky Charms and pulling the marshmallows out of the box, throwing them in a bag and selling them to you. Which would be gross.
Other than that, you know. Great idea. Sure.
Would you buy these for your kids? Or, you know, for yourself?
