    Over the years, Kellogg's has had some trouble expanding beyond cereal and similar breakfast foods. They've made countless attempts but very few of them have worked out. This video talks what's been happening with the company from its inception until today while focusing on their cereal reliance.
    Plus I prefer unfrosted Pop-Tarts. Be kind.

    It's clear that I'm in the minority with my preference of unfrosted Pop-Tarts but I'm happy to say that my confession has encouraged others to speak up about their love for the unfrosted as well. I like to think this video has brought us one step closer to a world where we could all express our Pop-Tart preferences free from judgement. Aside from all that, I had a lot of fun making this video and I hope everyone had just as much fun watching it.

      I'm not really sure why exactly, but it seems like you had fun making this video. I don't know if it's because of whole poptart tangent at the beginning or you're just getting better at making your videos sound more casual or conversational, but whatever it is it just made me feel a bit more engaged with what you were saying. Anyway, I know its subtle but I just wanted to say I liked the video and to keep up the good work!
      Also unfrosted poptarts are waaaaay better!

    I worked for Kellogg’s of America for five years. You’d be shocked at what’s in the dough. I’m not talking about just white flour and shortening but the amount of insects were in the flour. The FDA passes it through as, “crude protein.” One time we saw a dead sparrow in the flour and the unit supervisor said, “well, would you look at that!” The dough would travel 300ft ovens so a lot of people are oblivious at what they’re exactly eating. I stopped eating Pop-tarts after that.

    Because Trésor had more commercials than Krave, they should bring them to America to promote their new boxes like Trésor did with their's. Maybe, make new ones for Krave's Strawberry and Cinnamon Crunches. Or perhaps, release Trésor's flavors as Krave.

    The problem with the cereal business is that it relies on milk and milk goes bad after a week or so, if you don't use it. The size of the average household has gone down big time in the last generation and milk is more likely to spoil since fewer people are using it per household. That makes milk an unattractive purchase. If Kellogg wants to solve to cereal crisis, they need to think about milk.

  • @Jimsbo
    @Jimsbo 4 года назад

    If your top pick is strawberry, you’re relatively safe being a fan of unfrosted. It’s the nearly the only one you can find in stores. Brown sugar-cinnamon shows up often too. The rest? Not likely. It’s painfully clear that sales have convinced the stores that everyone loves confetti shellac because no other flavors are offered, least not in the NY/NJ region.
    I’m a fan in particular of blueberry, so I just have to put up with the candy paint job they slather on them because you won’t find the unfrosted ones anywhere. I went online to see if they even existed anymore. They do, but you’ll have to order them online to get them, and I’m just not a fan of having food pantry items shipped to me. I like to just pick up this sort of thing when the mood strikes, not place an order and wait for delivery. I’ve been obsessively searching supermarkets for years for them, but shelf space is such a premium that stores just don’t want to waste it on anything but the best movers. You might hope that health conscious habits would have people looking for items that aren’t covered in wildly colored sugar plaster, but it’s still a lost cause unless you want the one flavor they deemed marketable.
    That might be a video in itself - the items that are nearly always excluded from product lines on the shelves. I’m sure there’s plenty more examples.
    Also, I’d love to see a look at what happened to Oscar Mayer Beef Franks. In the late 90s/early 2000s they changed them, and ruined a product I’d been using for several decades. They were never the best all-around hot dog for the regular bun-and-mustard style, but were a favorite for a few other recipes. That’s just gone now. The tangy chew toys that they sell now, even after adding “classic” to the name on the label, just don’t come close and I’d simply like to know what the reason was for changing them when they did after so long on the market with a reliable quality. New manufacturing methods? Healthier ingredients? They dropped the original recipe down a sewer grate by accident? They’ve joined my unfortunately growing list of things they still make but fouled up so badly they might as well not anymore (a list that just welcomed Diamond Crystal salt which is no longer “the finer salt”)
