Review*: 

Of all of the classy and alluring cereals displayed in the cereal vault of the local Fred Meyer I was drawn to Chocolate Toasted Oats because it was $1.25 a box. My guess is that it has some kind of addictive quality, and the store is trying to get me hooked cheap and then keep me coming back for more, unable to live without Chocolate Toasted Oats as the price inches up further and further. . .

To be quite honest, I like Chocolate Toasted Oats better than Chocolate Cheerios. They have the same nutrition stats and the ingredients have only a slight variance, but somehow the Chocolate Toasted Oats just taste better. Maybe it's their clever name, or perhaps the way they float like little life preservers and spell out words like "oooooo" and "oooooooooo" and "o," or maybe I just like the color brown (I do, though I'm not partial to the word brown, unlike "grey" i really like that word AND color).

Anyway, they're on sale. And they taste good. So I say, go for it.

*This review brought to you by too much coffee and not enough food. My apologies.
