Weird Foods V: General Mills Reese's Puffs

Ah, General Mills, how did you ever convince people your products were breakfast foods? Today we review Reese's Puffs. That's right. Reese's, makers of the well known health foods Reece's pieces and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.

They are described on the box as Hershey's cocoa & Reese's peanut butter sweet & crunchy corn puffs. Awesome. It's like they're not even trying to hide what this food is really like. According to the Nutrition Facts panel, it's 34% sugar. 34%!  Words fail me. No one should eat this for breakfast. No one. It's no wonder kids have trouble concentrating at school after eating this for breakfast. On the plus side though, I'm told a lot of Americans use these kinds of 'breakfast' cereals in party mixes, which I think its a much more appropriate use.

All that being said, they are kind of delicious. I ate them with milk, as suggested on the box.

They taste just like you would expect: like a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup mixed with corn flakes.
