The Cereal Report: French Toast Crunch Returns At Last Pt. 1
Ten years… it’s been almost ten long years since General Mills discontinued one of the greatest cereals of all time. A cereal which not only tasted great, but also had a really fun novelty and gimmick. A cereal which produced exceptional cereal-milk. And a cereal which was pretty good for you as far as sweet ones go. I speak of course of French Toast Crunch…
About one month ago, the big GM announced they had plans to resurrect the long-gone cereal, and at long last, French Toast Crunch is back on shelves. Words can’t express what a glorious time this is for mankind. Naturally, I sought it out as soon as possible because this was going to be one of the most important Cereal Report entries this website may ever see. We live on Long Island, and it took a couple weeks for it to make it here, but now it should be readily accessible in grocery stores like Path-Mark, Shop Rite, Waldbaum’s and others…
The Snack Report: Lance Sprinkled Sugar Sweet Creme Cookie Sandwiches
I saw these cookie sandwiches in the grocery store the other day, and figured since they were seasonal and limited edition they would be a good holiday-time snack report. While I haven’t reviewed them on the blog, I have eaten Lance sandwich crackers in the past and enjoyed them, so I figured these would be pretty good too.
Since I feel like Lance might not be a super well-known brand I decided to do some research on them. The company has actually been around since the early 1900s, though it wasn’t until the 1960s and beyond that they started reaching a wider audience. They now have a wide range of snacks, but most are based upon the sandwich format. Some are savory cracker sandwiches and others, like the ones being reviewed today are sweet cookie sandwiches. So how did these sweet creme cookie sandwiches fare?
The Snack Report: Pumpkin Spice Oreos
Here we are again, another Oreos review. And yet, despite 4 previous Oreo reviews, I still had to pay for these with my own money. When are you going to throw us a bone Nabisco (or more specifically, some free cookies)? But enough of my grumbling.
It’s kind of funny because about a month ago we saw the regular Halloween Oreos that are just the regular flavor but with orange colored cream. I commented on how it’s lame that for Halloween they just have orange colored cream and not pumpkin flavored cream, and we agreed that would be a tasty idea. Well, about a week later in a different grocery store I stumbled upon the pumpkin spice Oreos. I was very excited. But did they live up to expectations?
Well lookie what I found
The Cereal Report: Quaker Oats Real Medleys
The Cereal Report is a column in which PCFG conducts various cereal reviews, of new or limited products, as well as providing brief backgrounds on the cereal. Cereal is delicious and fairly cheap as far as meals go. Everyone should eat cereal!
I started eating Quaker’s Real Medleys oatmeal not too long after it first came out, and I enjoy it. Well, not all the flavors, but most of them. They’re my go-to instant oatmeal during oatmeal season. They have more stuff in them (like dried fruit and nuts) than the regular packets of oatmeal, and I find them to be more filling. However, this snack report is not about oatmeal. It is in fact about the new cold cereal version of Real Medleys that Quaker has released. Considering how much I enjoy the oatmeal, when I saw the new cereal I knew I wanted to try it out. I got the cherry almond pecan flavor, but it also comes in peach apple walnut.
The Cereal Report: Millville Blueberry Crunch

Recently, an Aldi supermarket opened nearby us and we’ve started doing a lot of grocery shopping there due to their super delightful prices. Recently we picked up the following cereal:
Much to my own pleasant surprise, this turned out to be one of my new favorite cereals, and not just because it only cost $2 bucks.
