Review: Meh. It was fine. Lots of chunks. Sugary chunks. Sugary chunks that were suspiciously raisin-shaped and were, in fact, raisins. I found this cereal to be best with milk, but I always eat my breakfast cereal with yogurt (because it has more protein and sticks with me longer) and the muesli was too unyielding in texture to be good with the less-invasive moisture of yogurt. In order to live up to its full potential it really needs to be soaked in milk for a good long while.
Cereal and Toast: everyone eats this, right??

On the positive side of things, I really like that the different components of the cereal were readily identifiable. Raisin. Oat. Date. Corn Flake. Wheat Flake. Etc.

Also, I enjoyed that there weren't a huge number of one type of flake and very little of the, um, more premium ingredients. The diversity and spread of the ingredients was consistent throughout the box.
