Cah-ooooo-key Crisp, sound it out baby, lol. This has been one of my favorite cereals for the longest time, something about it was always unique, most cereals are fruity, marshmallowy, frosted bites, but the thought of having a bowl of mini cookies with milk is just awesome.
Brief History
General Mills is known for switching up the Cookie Crisp mascots, Why? I dont know. As a youngster, I grew up with the Dogs representing Cookie Crisp to the fullest, some people grew up seeing this guy and for those who don't know, a couple of years ago they changed it to a wolf.Choose your Coooookie
They have several different types of Cookie Crisp to choose from, my 2 favorite are the Original Chocolate Chip and the Vanilla Cookies with Sprinkles (I like to mix these with my Rice Krispies Treats, WIN!). For a very limited time, there was Peanut Butter Cookie Crisp (awesome) and Vanilla Wafer Cookie Crisp, which was more old school, back when the Wizard was on the front of the box, as you can see here.Final Thought
I cant really say anything bad about this cereal, I mean, who doesnt like cookies?! lol, but on a serious note. My main issue with Cookie Crisp is the texture and quality of the chocolate chips, they seem to slide right off the cookies most time and by the time you're done eating, you'll have a bowl full of chocolate milk and little fake chocolate chips that wont dissolve and get stuck to the sides of your bowl, they all slide into your mouth when you drink the milk (and you BETTER drink the milk) feeling slimey and non-chewable. BUT. That's not a deal breaker nor a major issue. Cookie Crisp is still one of the best tasting cereals out, and over the years has managed to keep its patented cookie taste, style, and texture. The miniature cookies have a life span of about 5-10 minutes in milk, enough time for you to set the bowl on the table, turn to cartoons, say your grace, and dig in without the cookies becoming soggy. I give General Mills Cookie Crisp 4.5 Bowls out of 5!
I never ever drink the milk. And I remember the thieving dogs on the box too. Guess that image wasn't acceptable anymore.
