Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Andy, Hi Scott. You look defeated today. No, it's
just him fighting with the mic arm again. This is
serial Killers. It is serial Killers. This is the podcast
We eat cereal. Do you have us coming out of
the Q speaker? No, because it sounds like something's coming

(00:21):
out of a speaker. No, I don't hear anything. Huh.
Our voice is usually this low too on there. Yeah,
no they sure aren't. But uh, you know, I guess
I'll just bump it up a little bit and post. No,
that doesn't do anything. That'll probably just put us on
the radio, which is not good. No, did you switch
over to the other studio? No? No, No, We're good. Okay. Yeah,
so welcome to Serial Killers. Were gonna eat some cereal today.
It's the podcast where we think inside the box, even

(00:43):
if it's in a bag. Exciting you like that? Yeah,
that's good, so creative, I know, I know. So I'm
excited for the first of today's cereals. Andy. It's one
of the ones that I found in Costco that nobody
knew anything about. Even when I posted it online, people
were like, wait, what, this is the one that I
told you you on this podcast A couple of weeks
ago that I saw it and you said, so you
didn't buy it? And I said no, and he said,

(01:05):
why didn't you buy it? Was it this one? Oh?
No it was No, it wasn't. So it's fruit harvestologized.
That's okay. People should apologize when they're wrong. No, No,
it's fine. I really didn't didn't bother me at all.
I think you were talking about vector and we did
that one a few weeks ago and the title was
vector vector Y you forgot all about that one. So
I'm gonna shake it up just a little bit because

(01:26):
this is full of fruit and you're gonna hate it. Yeah,
and like they're going to be sizzily berry's. Yeah. You know,
here's the word that's gonna come in about I don't
know a minute and a half. The word seltzer will
be uttered. If you hear the word seltzer. That's the
secret word of the day. Did we have the Peewe's
Playhouse thing? What? Why do you think I did that? No?

(01:47):
I know, but on pee Wee's Playhouse. That's literally why
when you hear the secret word, that's I I finished
what you were trying to say, because I know what
pee Wee's playhouse is. I grew up with sleep. I
hated pee wee. He terrified me. Cherry cherry was nice,
but peewee scared me. And we buried one underneath our

(02:08):
neighbor's house, a peewee doll. Wait what? We buried a
peewee doll in our neighbors the one we pulled the string? Yes,
we buried it. There was a huge dirt mound that
we used to play on as a kid, and we
buried a peewee in there. I'm assuming it's still there.
I can't even imagine what it looks like now. Oh,
it's like, yeah, buried under the foundation of that home.

(02:31):
I'm I missed those toys where you pull the string
the rooster goes cock a doodle. Do you know they
still exist? We just both don't have children. I do. Yeah,
I have kids that like pull string toys. Okay, hey,
look behind us. Do you like that? I neatned it up.
It looks great now. The sack is up on the table. Nice.
So these are all the ones that I shouldn't be

(02:52):
looking at. Yeah, we gotta do all those so I'm
not supposed to look at Oh. I don't even care
anymore because you don't remember. You don't even know we
did vector, Well I did. Afterwards, I cut in and
said vector Vector. Smell this. Now it's chocolate that's disgusting.
So this is fruit harvest triple berry blend made with
a touch of quinoa and cocoa. That smells like a
lot of cocoa. I'm just gonna say it. It's giving

(03:14):
porta potti smell. I don't like it. I don't want it.
I'm not a fan. I see blueberries and strawberries and cranberries.
This could be good. It's not going to be good. Oh,
you can't judge a box by its smell. I can,
and I'm already just hardcore judging it. There's a lot
of fruit in here, so much it really is a

(03:35):
fruit harvest. Yeah, this is gonna be one of those
cereals where I when I put it in the dispensers
out front, it's really going to shock people, I think,
because they're gonna think it's something and it's not that. Yeah,
you get rid of a box a day, would you say?
I mean, I only get rid of boxes after we
do them. Right now, I'm out of boxes to get
rid of because you put everything in the dispenser because
it's okay, because there's four of them, of them when

(03:57):
we do three, so we're gonna have to do four
from now on. No I think we No, I'm already
gonna shut that down. Now, okay, all right, Well, I'm
not gonna pork up just as other people could eat
or cereals. Well, I'm gonna save your digestive system today.
We're gonna use lactaid two percent. And this is extra calcil.
Let me tell you it's good for the bones. I

(04:18):
oh god, what happened? These are full freeze dried blueberry,
full blueberries. So I'm gonna let it sit for a
second here and let the milk permeate through the ber.
It's not crackling and pop. Yes it is, I swear.
Put your full ear in it, my full ear. Yes,
I don't think it is. It is. I'm hearing it crackle.

(04:38):
The blueberries are staining this up. I'm gonna get a
little bit of everything. I don't want to do this.
The flakes are a nice looking. Oh, it's giving coco pebbles. Hmm.
It is not giving cocoa pebbles. It is the chocolate.

(05:00):
Is I if you did these flakes without all the
fruit in it. See, the chocolate and the fruit is
a strange combination of trying to whether I like it
or not, I get what they're trying to. I get
what they're trying to do. Chocolate covered strawberries. No, maybe no,
they just put chocolate flakes for a reason. But why

(05:21):
do the strawberries chocolate cover? Can make chocolate covered cranberries? Well,
if you let me finish my sentence, that's why I
was gonna go, But instead you had to just cut off. No,
I was saying. They tried to do a chocolate covered
fruit thing. It doesn't work. I don't like the tartness
of the berries. This is way too much. I'm gonna
give this two bowls. See, I'm not sure it's either
really good or really bad. By the way, can you

(05:44):
tell who makes this Kellogg's? How do you know? Because
I saw the k at the bottom where Oh yeah,
But why do they hide it? It doesn't shake Helloggs
on there anywhere? I don't know. Again, this is just
a Canva box aka both side. The graphic designer went
in had a very simple task made this in about

(06:06):
two seconds. So again I found this at Costco I
don't know where else sells this. That might be a
like a warehouse exclusive. This just ain't for me. See
the blueberry now is like a real I gonna say,
you're gonna yell. I'm giving it four bowls. That's this
is what the podcast is about. I like and disagree
the sweetness of some of the berries and the tartness

(06:29):
of the cranberry along with the chocolate. I do think
it's odd with the chocolate. I'd like to try the
cereal without the chocolate. But it's interesting. I think it's
gonna have good milk. Hold on, yeah, it's it's it's
weird because it does taste like, oh okay, it called crispies.
That's the taste, because you know Kellogg's. I yeah, this

(06:52):
just ain't for me. Too tart, too sweet, too chocolate,
or too much, too too much. The fruit harvest that
they brought to the table was just too much, too plentiful,
if you will, It's like a cornucopia of fruits too much.
I hate the whole thing. I've grape I did not
I like it. Yeah, okay, and let me just go

(07:14):
for a berry to let you know if it's zizzles.
It doesn't it. Actually, it tastes like a regular blueberry.
Now it's been sitting in the milk long enough. No,
it's sizzles. It doesn't sizzle. I'm getting sizzles to say,
because I said you'd say it. I'm getting sizzles. No,
say it. It tastes like seltzer. Thank you. It it tastes
like a blueberry seltzer. Are you sure it doesn't taste
like a you know, Cheeto puff. No, because I save
that for the other ones that do taste like Cheeto puffs,

(07:37):
and specifically, I actually say cheese doodles. So for someone
who is all about consistency, maybe you should tap into
that yourself. Who makes cheese doodles free does no wise? Yeah? Yeah,
can you remove that please? GROLs. So, our friend Matt
sent this magic Spoons cereal in Let me tell you

(08:00):
they are going ham on the influencers doing this. They've
got everything now yeah, and they've got Granola's and they've
got other things and stuff and this which just goes
to show you things and you can fail up words, yeah,
and charge tons of money for it. People just think
it's great. Yep. All you need is just a YouTube
channel and a dream. So magic spoon protein cereal, thirteen

(08:23):
grabs protein, no sugar added, five net carbs, chocolate chip cookie.
They are loops and I don't, I don't. I don't
get it. It's got the mad lips on the back.
If this is supposed to taste like cookie crisp, which
it is because Chocolate Shop cookie. Yeah, but I've never
seen a I've never seen a loop cereal of chocol
If they don't even have fake chocolate on the loop,

(08:44):
what are we doing? I don't know. I just can
I see it? Yeah, let me open it up. And again,
the bag is small in this box. Look at that.
That's like ten dollars. That insane, right, people, get it together.
We need out of all the magic spoons. And we've
had so many magic spoons, were like maybe two of
them exactly. And it's frustrating because you hear all these

(09:06):
influencers be like, oh my god, it's so good. I
know they're getting paid. I know we're not getting paid.
So I can tell you they don't eat the magic spoon. Run,
don't walk to your nearest target. I get magic spoon
chocolate chip. Guys, the hottest cereal is Hey guys. Cooper
does that all the time. The magic spoon protein cereal

(09:26):
is what you have to be eating. Also, not gonna lie.
It looks like seaweed instead of chocolate chips. That's crazy.
I'm not do you see that it does? They do
have fake chocolate on it, or maybe it's real chocolate,
but it looks like seaweed. See there any actual chocolate
in here? Ingredients milk, protein, blah blah blah, oil this oil,

(09:49):
that oil, tapioca, starch, chickory. Let me talk. I'm about
to eat crustals actually does a tiny bit of coco
pattern at the end. I'm gonna eat grow if this
tastes have you ever? No, okay, not bad right now,
it's not not bad, not bad, not bad. Here it comes,

(10:12):
not bad, No, no, no, here it comes. I'm getting. I
got the stevia. I got it. It's disgusting. I don't
think I got it. Yep, try again. I might be
eating some grol Hey Magics food if you want to advertise. No, bro,
this is gross because it's got the it has the taste.
Really you're not getting it. No, I'm getting the stevia,

(10:37):
monk fruit sweetener blend it's like a little less than
it usually is for me. I'll let it, I'll let
it have a bowl, but I'm getting that taste. I
didn't have to spit it out, but I'm still getting
that after taste at the end. I don't understand how
they can make the cereal where it's good for like
ten seconds and then all of a sudden it goes
to hell. I gotta tell you, I don't really like

(10:58):
magic spoons. I went on just a whole rant not
even two seconds ago, saying that they don't make a
good cereal. This isn't bad. I'm gonna give it three bowls. WHOA,
I don't hate this. I never got the intense stevia taste.
It's bland enough that it's not offensive in my opinion. Okay,
but I understand that the stevia tastes could come through.

(11:21):
So we were too apart on this one, and we
were too apart on the fruit harvest. Yeah, I don't
hate that. Wow. If not so bash kindash like a
weird like healthy ice cream, I certainly wouldn't buy it. So, Matt,
I'm glad you used a coupon for it and didn't
spend a whole lot of money. Yeah all right, well
then that's cool. We'll be back right after. I don't know, God, Andy,

(11:42):
we need more things this okay, and we're back. How
you doing down eleven fifty four for me? Yeah? Sure, thanks? Oh,
before we get onto the next seer Andrew. So you
know it's been seen in stores, although General Mills has

(12:04):
not shipped it yet. Generally we have it, but not yet.
I'm gonna go search Walmart. So maybe next week can
get the new fall cereals that are coming from General Mills.
Caramel corn checks. Oh, I'm excited for that. Carmel corn
checks yeah, okay. And cinnamon toast crunch Mexican style hot chocolate. Okay,
so it's gonna be your hot chocolate favor with just

(12:25):
a touch of spice. Spice Mexican. Yeah that you know,
the spice so eloquently put. Okay, great, So that will
be coming soon, hopefully next week. I don't know if
I can grab it. I'll grab it. Someone wants to
send it. Great, General Mills. If you get the box
here in time, then we'll certainly review it for you,

(12:45):
both limited edition Andrew for the fall and winter. Yep, sure,
all right, you get that thing out of here. Okay,
Now this one came from another listener. I love these listeners,
Supplied Cereals. This is from Pam and Stonybrook on Long Island.
It's the three you have Whole Food markets. So this
came from Whole Food. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and
guess yes, because it says it, Yeah, honey almond flax,

(13:08):
protein and fiber crunch. Cool, So this would be it's
actually says right there as much protein and fiber as Kashi.
Go honey almond flax crunch. So this is going to
be your ripoff of Kashi. My question is this, Sorry,
there's lots of things in here. Go ahead, question is
this with Kashi? How are they able to say that

(13:31):
on the box? They do it? Great, No, you can't.
Just like the store brands. When you see the store brands,
it says, you know, just the same as Etcron or
tail and all. It says it right on the box,
same same formula as whatever they're allowed. They're allowed to
as long as they do the little trademark see the
little circle rs there. Yeah, you can't just rip it

(13:52):
off without showing that it's trademark. Yeah. But they're allowed
to do that. No room for icky ingredients? Is that
what that says? Yeah? I don't really love that icky language.
It's like, what are we doing? Like to see an
adult like? Okay, so I see granola pieces and almond slivers.

(14:15):
Oh my gosh, there's a lot going on in here.
This is an unholy abomination of cereal. It definitely looks
like Hashi, There's no doubt about it. This is a
Frankenstein cereal. And I don't know how I'm feeling. There
should be chocolate chunks in there. No, maybe they No,
it doesn't need anymore. Okay, I like that. I think
two percents my favorite milk. Yeah, I agree with that.

(14:35):
I like it with cookie dough. Nice. Did you hear
what happened with me with the cookie dough? Oh? Let's
try this and then I'll tell you all about exciting. Yeah, tea,
it's tea. Here we go. Oh god, No, that's a
lot on the mouth. No, absolutely not. Does there's a

(14:56):
little there's essence of cardboard, which brings me to my story.
But no two bowls. There's a lot going on in here.
Maybe it tastes like a pretzel with no salt, just
put some mustard on it. I hate that. You're like
mustard and pretzels. Now, oh I love it. I do

(15:17):
not like. I'm pretty basic when it comes to like dippings,
like hot dogs. I just like plain mustard mustard. No,
I don't like mustard on pretzels. Do you like mustard
at all? If it's hidden? I'm a child yellow mustard
a spicy brown. I don't want to either. Oh god,
So where you grew up in New Jersey? Did the

(15:39):
McDonald's put mustard on the hamburgers? They did? Yeah, to
further north, they don't do it. Oh interesting, we've had
this conversation. We sure have, we sure have. You know
this is not a horrific cereal it is. It's earthy.
It literally tastes like it's from the earth, like I
scooped up some dirt, put it in a bowl on
attitude percent. I want you to try one more small

(15:59):
spoon and tell me if you don't get just a
tiny bit of smacks. I was thinking that. I was
thinking that, but there's so much there's too much other
stuff in there. I understand there's definitely a healthier cereal
than your smacks or your sugar Bear I don't like it. Okay,

(16:20):
what do you like to give it? Andrew? Two balls? Okay,
I tell you If I did this every morning, it's
like going to war. My mouth is so tired from
chewing this. We've had worse, though we've had harder chews.
There's just too much. Like again, how do cereals like
this happen? It's so confusing. Forty two thousand ingredients. You're

(16:41):
about to go to the bathroom because it's thirty two
percent of your daily fiber value in here. Well, thanks
to my relacs, I also got a bedazzled on my desk,
the strangest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, it's money. Gonna
do anyway really quick. You want to hear my cardboard story, Sure,
I'd love to. So you know me, I I don't
really eat cookies, bless you, thank you, But for whatever reason,
my brain tells me that I can eat the cookie

(17:02):
dough so pre baked is fine. But baked no no, no,
But the salmonella no no, it's the safe one. It's
the one. Doble what no ad doble? What's ed dobo edible? Yeah,
but it's a doeble who says that I just make
that up. No, that's the name of the company. You
made a company. No follow along. I don't understand the

(17:26):
edible cookie dough. It's called yes, it's very clever E
d O U G H A B L E no offense.
But everything is edible. It's edible. Every all dough is edible.
You can eat it. But what you were saying, it's
the safe to eat? Do you know what? I can't? Right?
So I got the Pillsbury. Uh, the little circles great,

(17:46):
the pre the thing cool. And we were just eating
them out of the package. So good, Yeah, for sure.
And I was like there was a piece of cardboard
inside of the cookie, like inside not even protruding. It
was in the middle. I'm glad it was me that God,
are not my kids or something like that, or who
would have baked it? Could you imagine baking the cardboard
and eating it like baked? I don't know anyway, So

(18:10):
I ate it. I was like, well, I saved it.
I'll bring it in if you want to see it. Sure,
but you know, look, things happen. I totally understand. Just
like when I was making cream cheese at the bagel
store at that time and I cut my finger and
got blood in the vat. Things happen in the factories.
So I'm not gonna ask any further questions on that continue.
So it's fine. You know, I emailed them. I just
wanted to let them know. Lawsuits, nothing like that. I'm
not that guy. I was just hey, just for quality control,

(18:33):
just letting you know. Here's a little code on the
back and whatever, and this is the thing that was
inside of the cookie. We're so sorry, the whole thing.
And they sent me three coupons for free product up
to eight dollars. So I'm gonna find a store where
it's really expensive and get it. There no three ninety
nine on sale stuff. I want to use the full
value of the coupon. Oh, because I guess it's not
up to eight dollars. It is. It's up to eight.

(18:54):
It's any Pillsbury product up to eight dollars. So I'm
gonna find one that's seven ninety nine and use it
on that nice I'm not going to use it on
two ninety nine stuff. Smart right, I'm getting the full value. Wow,
because they don't give you change. And I also love
that You're like, thank god, I got it. Not my
kids he's a cardboard dude. I know, but they could
have choked. I felt that they might not have found
old are your kids? But the kids will pay, they'll

(19:18):
pay attention. You have a daughter in college. Yeah, I'm
pretty sure she could tell if there is cardboard in
her cookies. She literally just texted me that is the
craziest thing I've ever seen my guitar line. I got. Wow,
that's that's karma any cricket. No, not karma. It is
not karma. Not karma. The thing, the sense is something. Yeah,
sixth sense. That was really cool. So we are going
to text her back now, I say, we were just

(19:39):
talking about let's just talking about you. I thought you
may have choked on a piece of card boats. But
don't worry, daddy. And I got my coupons. Thank god
I saved you. Yeah, and oh I also got the
coupons for the Go Go Squeeze. Great. Remember what was
open and crusty? That's right. They sent me two free packages.
Also nice. If you ever have a problem with a
company or a product or anything like that, send them

(20:00):
an email. They want to make it right, just saying
by the time you find the email, it's still take
you six business days, But what can I tell you?
