I thought this was about a cereal for a hot second.

I love Apple Jacks. I haven’t had them in years.

Why don't they taste like apples!? (⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

They taste like jack instead.

Really? I've never even tried them but I always assumed they were basically apple flavored cheerios.

They’re a very strong artificial cinnamon flavor.

Apple Jacks are my number two, only behind Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Also, number two, behind. Heh.

I scrolled away and had to come back because I just kept repeating the sentence in my head. If Apple Jacks gets $19B in profit I better join the cereal industry.

Is this thread a secret marketing ploy?!?!? Now I want some delicious fake apple cereal!

I thought I was really out of the loop. A brand I haven't heard in over 20 years has been killin it.
