Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is an emergency episode. It's not a bonus. I
don't even know what to call it, but it's an
emergency over recording. Hello Andrew, hi Ski. All right, so listen,
I hate you. I love you, but I hate you.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I just want it to be known that when this
is in post production and you didn't hear what happened
and the reason why Scott is laughing, Scott was being
a jerk, that's all.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
No, I'm never a jerk. Yeah you are ever, Yeah,
you are all right. So, like the show was on
vacation for what two weeks? Yeah? Okay, So here's what
happened in those two weeks. Yeah. I got two different
tweets from listeners of the show, and I'm doing my
best to try to find out their names because I
want to give them credit because I do appreciate it.
Pierce Pierce, Yeah, and the other guy was James. They
(00:45):
both pointed out to me that Rice Crispy treats cereal.
The recipe has changed, what what you know and love
is no more what So you're gonna have to go
to all the supermarkets and buy up all the old
old stock before the new stock comes in.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
See what my understanding from the tweet was was that
the old Rice Krispy Treats is still available. This is
a version.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh no, sir, no, sir Bob.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
This isn't fair.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So I know we already did Rice Krispy treat Cereal
a couple of episodes ago. It was actually titled Andrew's Favorite.
It is my favorite, it was your favorite? Ohit, you
know what, maybe hold on, you know what, let's give
it a chance, because I have both the old and
the new in the cereal sack for this emergency bonus.
Must let you know about an episode of Serial Killers.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Brush the moths off of the old Rice Krispy Treats
from bringing it back out.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
No, it's not old. They still have. It's still in
some stores before they restock it with the new recipe.
So I did reach out to Kellogg's for comment. However,
I got an auto reply that said that they're very busy,
high volume of emails, and they were not able to
respond at this time, but they will, so as soon
as I hear back from Kellogg's, I'll keep you posted
as to what they say. Perfect, all right, So now
(01:59):
we all know that Rice Krispy Treats came out in
the nineties. It was in the tealbox, went away for
a bit, came back a few years ago in the
pro box, Snap Crackle, pop everything. It's broken up little
pieces of Rice Krispy tretes. I'm sorry, I'm talking fast
because it's all right. Hold on, I'm gonna go into
the cereal sack. Okay, yeah, I didn't have any sugar
yet today. I'm just letting you know. Hold on, I
(02:19):
went down.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It makes me so sad that they changed it. Like
who it was, you know who it was, Biff. Biff
the intern was like, I don't like the shape.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They probably listened to me and changed it because I
said that marshmallow Crispies was my favorite cereal when I
was a kid.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, I hate that they listened to you. Why can't
I get what I want?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well in any event, So look, here's the two boxes.
So on the old box on the left, Rice Krispy
Treats with snap Crapple Snap no, no, we're keeping this
in Snap Cravele Pop with snap, crackle and pop. The
word treats is actually written out in Rice Crispy.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Treats Altricious Rice Chris's treats.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And look they're tossing around Rice Crispy treats like there's
no tomorrow. They were so good you could crackle, just talk.
He's he's juggling Rice Crispy treats and marshmallow.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm not gonna like this new one. And I'm gonna
tell you why why, Because the beauty of a Rice
Crispy treat is that the marshmallow is already mixed in.
Don't give me some bland ass Rice Crispy. Throw some
marshmallows in it and call it a day.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think before you complain about it, we should try. Yeah,
so we're gonna go. We already did it. We did this. Yeah,
I don't even remember how many bulls we gave it.
So let's redo it anyway for this episode. By the way,
I like I told you, I haven't really been feeling
well lately.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You never feel well.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You're a hypochondria this time, I really think, and I
don't take it lightly.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You never take it. You got poked in the eye
and went to the emergency room and was like, yeah,
my doctor told me it's gonna be a couple of
weeks before I have clear vision again. You got poked
in the eye.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, my corny got scratched.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Can I tell you what I think it is this time?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh? God, I beat us.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yes, sound look, I'm not making fun, but my extremities
are hurting and every time I eat sugar I have problems.
So the podcast will continue on because I love you guys,
so I'm doing it for you. I'm just hoping I
don't have to start giving myself insulin shots at some point.
So between the bowls, I do have a physical on
the way, so I'll let you know how that goes.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That reminds me I actually have to schedule my physical.
I haven't gotten four years.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Really. No, see this this is a fresh box. This
is a it's good till January twenty twenty. So even
though you know this is the old recipe, it's still
on store shelves and some spots. We were alerted to
the fact that some targets and walmarts have the new one.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Targeting has the old one, or at least the one
in Jersey City does.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Okay, well we'll meet you in Jersey City. Here we go.
The rites Krispy Treats old originally to me original formula
or recipe, whatever you want to call.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It is Crapple, the brother that nobody likes.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
If you notice I poured myself a light cup, you
got heavy because this is your favorites, Andy.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Well, I mean, I'm so only gonna have one spoonful
of it?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
But should I do both of them like side to
side so we can inspect before we try? Now I
think yeah, I think we should. This is a different
kind of episode. Well, it seems like it's your episode,
so well the rules. We've already tried these, so oh,
here we go. This one needs the Scottie shake because
there are different things inside.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Pisses me off.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This new recipe is just rice crispies with many marshmallows,
and that's stupid. No, it's not. It is if do
you remember the red box? You know, when you were born, what.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Year nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Right, They may have been discontinued by that, but when
I was a kid, marshmallow crispies was in a red
box and it had colorful marshmallows, and it was just
rice crispies with marshmallows, and it was delicious. This does
not smell that way.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Let's see okay, okay, I don't like the way it sounds.
Rice Crispy Treats has the distinctive like plumbing sound. Yeah,
heavy pieces. This to me is just oh these okay.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
No, hold on. Maybe they figured that you weren't supposed
to eat Rice Krispy treats for breakfast.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, half the things that we eat are eat shouldn't
be had for breakfast. But that doesn't mean you just
continue it. These marshmallows are weak weak in the new
Rice Krispy formula. This is the size of a pencil eraser.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, but that's how they were. They were many. These
are many marshmallows. I don't like it all right, stand by,
here comes the milk going down to the refrigerator. Dumb ass,
pay if andy check it out. It's a two milk
low fat. A two. When you want milk, think a two.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh are we trying to get a sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, they're not gonna pay.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I love the taste of a too milk.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, actually, this is actually kind of cool. It says
it's easier on digestion. It's not lactose free, but for
some reason they like they take something out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
A two.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
A two is a protein A two for me too.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
No oh oops?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, Oh here's your milk.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That sounded good tagline. I'm so sorry, eight milk. Please
consider us for product sponsorships.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Rice Krispy Treats old original recipe first, and then we'll
go into the new man. I want you to go
into this with an open mind.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Andrew, I am, but I'm still gonna hate it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
What that didn't make sense? All right? Rice Krispy Treats
Original and bye boll.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
H m.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't know what I gave it originally, but I
give it four balls? Would you say perfect? Bye ball?
You were qunching so hard I couldn't hear bye balls? Okay, delicious?
Now notice how I only ate one spoonful?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I know, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Just one, just one spoonful. Okay, now here we go,
new recipe. Hold on, Rice Krispy Treats You ready?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah? Come on? No? No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
There's not a lot of flavor. I'm gonna tell you
there's really not a lot of flavor. Is weak? This
is not the same marshmallow Crispies is when I was
a kid. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh, I'm so sad. This is it? Right?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Where is justice in this country?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's not sweet, It's.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Not it's disgusting. The marshmallows have no taste.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's not disgusting, but it's not disgusting. I feel my
arm tangling that beating it. What does that mean, Wilford?
What does it mean? Damn it?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I really hope our listeners are enjoying the diabetes button,
that we install.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It and truly not making light of it. Please don't
think I'm making fun of it, because I know it's
a serious thing and I may have it, so you
know I might be on my way.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
This is not good and I'm sorry, But who's who
makes a cereal?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Kelloggs?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Kellogg's? Please listen to me. I know I am just
one man, but I am one man with a voice,
and I will speak up about the injustice of canceling
the original rice Krispy Streets recipe.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Canceling. Yes, they canceled it, discontinuing whatever.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You're ruining my rant, but it's I'm never gonna be
able to have this again.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
No, why these cereals are completely different? They're not even close.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
There's the same taste is gone.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'll tell you this it's one thing. If you want
to discontinue rice Crispy treats. Yeah, but you can't call
the new recipe rice Krispy treats. You gotta call it
rice Crispies with marshmallows or marshmallow crispies because they are
two completely different cereals completely. I'm gonna give it two balls.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I'm giving it a bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Wow. I was actually really excited for it. When I
saw the picture of it, I was like, yes, they
brought it back and it tastes nothing like it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Are they like health wise? Are they still exactly the same?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm gonna probably say no. Let's see the serving sizes
are the same serving size and I see they change it.
It's too hot. I can't do math. The serving size
on the old one is three quarters of a cup
and the serving size on the new one is one cup. Yeah,
I can't tell.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What's the reason for this. Kellogg's.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Well, as soon as I get the email back from them,
I'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Can like please reconsider?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Let me tell you what the email is gonna say,
Thank you so much for reaching out, Scott. From time
to time we do reevaluate our cereal recipes and found
that it was time for us to revamp Rice Krispy
treat Cereal. Thanks so much for being a valued customer.
We'll send you a coupon.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, I'll go a coupon. Listen. If you were in
the test group that decided that you didn't like the
original Rice Krispy's Treats formula and you voted on this
new one, I have news for you. Your mom's a ho whoa, Okay,
it's a meme.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Oh is it?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah? See that's me coming in with the cool twenty
first century pop culture references.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I gotcha.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's where I contribute to this podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Well, it's just bad.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's not good. Nothing about this is good. They changed
my childhood like the same way that you have cereals
that you love.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, they brought back my childhood, but not the same
as it was.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, I mean alphabets they came back with, and we
hated that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now I'm the bastard child.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well I guess now I am too with this.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
They've ruined both of us.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
This is so sad.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, I was optimistic, but I wasn't. I'm going into this.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
This is gonna be weak because Rice crispies by themselves
have a very dull taste. It's it's nobody will Yeah,
let's face it, it's boring exactly. So just throwing in marshmallows, Well.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Dude, they're not very sweet marshmallows either.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's nothing about this that's good.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Huh. All right, they did have fruity marshmallow crispies back
in the day.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well maybe that would make these better, No, it wouldn't.
All right, Well, we don't do a bonus box here, right,
because this is a special emergency episode. Yeah, I mean,
I could throw something out at you, but it really
wouldn't make sense because this is the Rice Crispy Treats episode.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm just sad.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, I'm going to go right in my journal.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
What that's not very twenty first century of you.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's password protected.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Mine has a key. All right. Well, thanks so much
for tuning in to this special bonus episode. And I
apologize that it was disappointing.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Also, your mom's aren't hoes, I'm sorry for saying. And
it was just trying to be hip, is mine?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Maybe? Oh okay, wonderful. Oh, I'm sure Lenora will appreciate that.
Thank you so much for listening to this breaking Serial Killers.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Podcast and again new focused test group Kellogg's. Whoever you interviewed,
they were wrong. You clearly laced it with something else,
and that's why they gave you this misguided direction.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well go back. I predict that something will happen with
this within the next year or so. I don't think
it'll be on the market in this particular form. They
may change the name, they may get rid of it,
they may bring the old one back. I bet you
down the road you'll see now back original formula.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
So do you think they're purposely jeopardizing themselves, like, hey,
we're gonna make this real crappy. Oh and guess what
it's back?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, that's it. It's a marketing ploy. Yeah, so thanks
