It's Mighty... funny
I like to try different kinds of foods. In a restaurant I try to order different things each time, and in the store I like to try new products. I was in the Trader Joe’s cereal aisle when I saw Kashi’s attempt at making a kid’s cereal, called Mighty Bites. After checking out the side of the box for ingredient info and other stuff, I decided it was made of good stuff and bought it.
I like the effort to make a kid’s cereal that isn’t dripping with sugar, but this seriously isn’t sweet enough for kids to want to eat it. What I found most interesting was their choice of cereal shape. The box is filled with tiny little cereal people. I personally get a kick out of pretend cannibalism, but I’m not sure about how kids would react, or parents for that matter. They don’t even look like strong people, which would keep in theme with their Mighty Bites name. They look exactly like the little guy on the men’s room sign. Mmmmmm men’s room signs… yummy.
