Special K with Blueberry Flakes- Come On!!

blueberry-special-kI admit it. I am something of a blueberry addict. Once I took my family to one of those all inclusive family resorts in Wisconsin.  For some reason the buffet had a huge bowl of fresh blueberries every morning (I don’t think Wisconsin is known for blueberries). Anyway, my blueberry gluttony was so obvious that the kids nicknamed me “Mr. Blueberryhead”.  So I was somewhat skeptical when I saw “Kellogg’s Special K Blueberry Cereal (self-described as crunchy, blueberry, rice and wheat flakes with oat and blueberry clusters). I have to say that my skepticism was warranted. There is some kind of blueberry coating on the flakes, and only a hint of blueberry flavoring. I guess in our fast food culture Kelloggs believes that they can get by with sprinkling some blueberry flavoring and a little sugar on some flakes and sell it to us. They think we are too lazy to go to the grocery store a couple of times a week and buy some real blueberries to sprinkle on our cereal.  Unfortunately, they might be right.
