I am a cerealaholic. I love cereal! All kinds of cereal, from the junky, kid ones to the healthy varieties, but like most normal people I eat it with milk. Just the thought of eating cereal with orange juice makes me want to hurl, but that’s exactly what Tropicana wants us to do. Maybe they need to sell more orange juice, and this is what their marketing department came up with, who knows?
Tropicana announced on Instagram that they will debut a new cereal next week that is made specifically to be eaten with orange juice instead of milk!
They shared a picture of the new "Tropicana Crunch" honey almond cereal, and they wrote, “15 million people have tried OJ on cereal. So how weird can it be?” They claim it is "the first cereal made for" orange juice. Yeah...maybe there’s a reason for that, because it does not sound like a good idea to me.
The cereal will be released on May 4th which happens to be National OJ Day. Tropicana will give the opportunity to win a box of the new OJ friendly cereal to everyone who follows them on Instagram. I hope they sell this in stores though because, as gross as that sounds, I'm super curious about it, so now I have to try it. Who knows, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised! I thought Flaming Hot Mountain Dew was going to be nasty, but it wasn’t so bad after all!
