This visually appealing cereal is sure to catch the eye of football fans and breakfast lovers alike. The name "Mahomes Magic Crunch" reflects the quarterback's ability to turn the game around with his impressive plays and game-winning moves. The cereal aims to capture that same sense of excitement and energy in every bite.
Like the Chiefs, Mahomes Magic Crunch has high expectations
In April 2019, Hy-Vee signed an exclusive, three-year agreement with the reigning NFM MVP, Patrick Mahomes to include television commercials, social media collaboration, appearances, apparel and exclusive product launches at Hy-Vee grocery stores. And here we are, with a box of Mahomes Magic Crunch sitting on my table. Much like the Chiefs, the cereal comes with plenty of fanfare and expectations. Unlike the Chiefs, the cereal doesn’t pose quite the same choking hazard threat. (sorry Chiefs fans, I couldn’t help myself with that one)
Aesthetics
Let’s start with the packaging, which is oozing Chiefs. Everything from the colors to the fonts to eight photos of Mahomes on the box. If you’re a Chiefs fan, the cereal had you hooked on appearance alone. Opening the bag and pouring a bowl Mahomes Magic Crunch, you’ll be greeted with a familiar looking friend in sugar coated corn flakes (i.e. generic Frost Flakes). I’m not mad about that, as I am a fan of the Grrrrreat classic cereal. It’s not original by any means, but I don’t think that was the intent of this cereal.
Snackability
When it comes to snackability, Frosted Flakes or anything resembling it, isn’t the move to make. The flakes are just too small and there’s no other contrasting pieces of cereal in it to help, like you get from Honey Bunches of Oats, etc. Am I saying that Mahomes Magic Crunch tastes bad dry? No. It’s just not the most efficient and enjoyable way of eating the cereal.
Structural Integrity
Mahomes Magic Crunch, much like its big brother, Frosted Flakes, isn’t the best when it comes to enduring milk for a long period of time. I find it best to eat the cereal shortly after pouring the milk on it, just so it has a little crunch, as stated in the cereal’s name. The thin corn flakes absorb milk fast enough that if you don’t eat it quick enough, you’re left with a mushy substance that you may be able to build your very own yert out of.
Cereal Concept
I’m giving Mahomes Magic Crunch four spoons, not because it’s original, but because it benefits a good cause. The limited-edition collector’s product is expected to raise $25,000 for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. Those proceeds will be donated to help underserved children in the Kansas City and surrounding area. And when I say the concept of creating a cereal for a NFM quarterback with generic Frosted Flakes isn’t original, I present exhibit A: Long live Flutie Flakes! The OG of limited edition collector’s box sweetened corn flake cereal sold within a region of the country with a popular NFL quarterback on the box.
Flavor
If for some reason you haven’t picked up on it yet, if you like Frosted Flakes, you’ll like Mahomes Magic Crunch. And it’s no mistake that the cereal is based off Frosted Flakes. Mahomes himself said in an interview that “I like Frosted Flakes, so I told them to make it as close to Frosted Flakes and they could. They did it. And it’s a little bit healthier, less sugar.” So it might not be Frosted Flakes Grrrrreat, but it’s not bad either.
Final Thoughts
Mahomes Magic Crunch isn’t bad. It’s actually one of the better “generic” versions of Frosted Flakes I’ve had. I do feel like they missed an opportunity to add some marshmallows to this cereal in the shape of footballs, arrowheads or some other Chiefs-related item. I will also say that $3 a box isn’t too bad for this, especially knowing that some of the proceeds are going to his foundation to help children in the KC area. However, one small observation I had while reading the nutrition numbers, is it weird that this Chiefs cereal is distributed by a company located in Pittsburgh, aka Steeler Country?
Overall, will consumers be disappointed with this cereal? No. Will Chiefs fans be disappointed? Not with this cereal. If any disappointment comes for them, it’ll be late in the season. 🙂
With every spoonful, fans can imagine themselves in the midst of a thrilling Chiefs game. The launch of Mahomes Magic Crunch Cereal is not only a fun addition to breakfast tables but also serves as a way for fans to support their favorite player and team. A portion of the proceeds from the cereal sales goes towards funding children's charities in the Kansas City area. This allows fans to feel good about their purchase, knowing that they are making a positive impact. The cereal comes in a colorful box featuring a picture of Patrick Mahomes throwing a football, further emphasizing the cereal's connection to the quarterback. It is available for purchase at Hy-Vee supermarkets and select Kansas City area stores. In conclusion, Mahomes Magic Crunch Cereal is a limited edition breakfast cereal that captures the excitement of football and the talent of Patrick Mahomes. With its tasty cereal and mini football-shaped marshmallows, it provides a fun and delicious way for fans to support their favorite player while enjoying a bowl of cereal..
Reviews for "Mahomes Crunch Cereal: The Breakfast Game-Changer"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to try Mahomes Magic Crunch Cereal, as I am a huge fan of Patrick Mahomes. However, I was quite disappointed with the taste. The cereal had an artificial and overly sweet flavor that was just too much for me. Additionally, the texture was not enjoyable, as the cereal pieces were hard and seemed stale. I ended up having to add extra milk just to make it slightly more edible. Overall, I was not impressed with this cereal and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. John - 1/5 - Mahomes Magic Crunch Cereal was a huge letdown. The packaging and branding were appealing, but as soon as I tasted it, I knew I made a mistake. The flavor was strange, and there was this unpleasant aftertaste that lingered. The cereal pieces themselves were also quite small and lacked any crunch. It felt like eating a soggy mess. For the price I paid, I expected a much better tasting cereal. Unfortunately, I won't be purchasing this again.
3. Emily - 2/5 - I had high hopes for Mahomes Magic Crunch Cereal, but it fell short of my expectations. The cereal pieces were extremely sugary to the point where it was overwhelming. The taste didn't resemble anything I associate with a breakfast cereal. It felt like eating dessert for breakfast, and not in a good way. The texture was also problematic as the pieces became mushy very quickly in milk. I wanted to like this cereal, but it just wasn't for me. I would advise others to try it cautiously.
