The Greatest Cereal in the World


Look at that. Just look at it. If that doesn't make you hungry for that very food item, then the readers of TheFlow will tell you, rightly, to go fuck yourself.

I am sure you have guessed right now, unless you were expecting a patented Carmy misdirect, that CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH is the winner of 2012 March Cereal Madness!!!!!!!!!!!

What may be a surprise, to some, is that the championship match was never even close. Frosted Flakes fought hard -- and is a damn fine cereal -- but couldn't overcome an early 13-2 deficit. What's interesting is that from that point on, the two cereals fought to a draw. Our final score was 30-19.

What started as a terrific concept full of potential drama and intrigue turned into this year's basketball version of March Madness, where only 1 team ever had a snowball's chance. The only difference is Cinnamon Toast Crunch leaves with you with a delightful taste in your mouth, whereas the basketball tournament was like chewing excedrin.

Anyway, let's not taint Chef Wendell's victory. Since 1984, his little cinnamon-sugar-dusted squares have been giving children a reason to wake up in the morning -- besides of course, childhood being the only good time of a person's life. It's good to know that I have never lived in world without Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And as long as NBC doesn't buy General Mills, it never will.
