I went to Target today and somehow landed in the cereal aisle. I’m not really a cereal person btw but I was having an itch for some cereal (or I was just hungry). Immediately I spotted the Banana Nut Cheerios. I thought I was dyslexic or something because I stared at the box for a few seconds without it registering that they were indeed Cheerios. I think I thought they were Honey Bunches of Oats or something, because I kept thinking about how overpoweringly strong and sweet the banana flavor is in that cereal… blah blah blah. Finally it dawned on me that Cheerios came out with a new flavor and I decided to try them out.
Cheerios have always been a favorite of mine. I can eat them plain or with a little tiny bit of milk (just enough to get them a little wet, not enough to make them soggy). Honey Nut is my ultimate favorite, btw.
See the shot of the Banana Nut Cheerios box…
For some reason, I was really excited about trying this cereal. I think it’s because I was remembering the flavor of regular cheerios – crunchy with that oat flavor – and imagining them with a very subtle hint of banana mixed with an even tinier hint of nut (from the honey nut)…
Well, when I got in the car I ripped open the bag and peeked inside. I was surprised to see that the cheerios have gotten very skinny! They looked about 1/16″ thinner than normal cheerios – just a tiny sliver skinnier than usual… but enough to notice!
I threw a handful into my fryhole. Hmm…. they were OK. They were definitely a little more banana-y than I thought they would be (but not as powerful as Honey Bunches of Oats), and when I looked at the ingredients I noticed that they are also made with corn. Now, I never remembered regular Cheerios being made with corn… from what I recall, Cheerios are made from whole grain oats. Now the Banana Nut Cheerios are made with corn? What the heck? Here I thought the different Cheerios flavors were all made from whole grain oats with some flavor. I think it’s the corn that pulls the extra banana sweetness out of these Banana Nut Cheerios… or maybe it’s just cheaper to use corn as a filler? I admit, I was a little disappointed. …not that corn is bad or anything.
Here’s the bowl of Cheerios that I ate when I got home. Please notice and agree with me that the Cheerios are slightly skimpier than normal.
Overall, the Banana Nut Cheerios were just ok. I will eat the rest of the box but I don’t think I’ll be buying them again. I’ll return to Honey Nut or regular Cheerios. So, I give the Banana Nut variety 2.5 fries… but since I don’t do half-fries I’ll be nice and give them 3.

I didn’t start eating these chips until I was finished with my sandwich. They were worth the wait, and to me, this bag of greasy goodness was the perfect ending to my perfect lunch.
I can’t remember the last time I ate Miss Vickie’s chips. In fact, I dont usually pay so much attention to the brand of chips I’m eating if they have the flavor I want… but Miss Vickie’s chips really stood out to me – so much that I wanted to write a review.
So, what makes these chips so great? Let me tell you. Not ONLY are they sea salt & vinegar, but they are KETTLE COOKED as well!! To me, and my roots in good ol’ PA, there’s nothing better than kettle cooked potato chips. I used to eat Grandma Utz’s kettle cooked chips by the bag, and these are just about as close as they come out here in California since they don’t sell Grandma Utz’s here, boo. So, since these puppies are kettle cooked, they have a very subtle extra buttery and greasy crunch than their non-kettle cooked counterparts, making the sea salt and vinegar have a tangy sweetness that the other salt and vinegar chips don’t have. I do sometimes find that other sea salt and vinegar chips are so strong that they make your face twitch a little. These don’t, the salt/vinegar flavor is generous but not overbearing.
Here’s another pic of the chips… don’t they look amazing? These chips have the perfect thickness too with a light crunch. The crunch is not as intense as other chips, and they’re not as “thin” crunchy as lets say, “lays”… you know what I mean.

It took about 3 minutes to heat this puppy up. Hot Pockets only take 1 min 30 seconds.
There was hardly any cheese or ham inside. The outside tasted dry and bland. It tasted like bland uncooked wheat mixed with paper. Oh, what I would’ve given for a REAL ham and cheese hot pocket… I will never “eat right” again! Tell me, does this photo look like the one on the box? …I don’t think so.
