Burger King Cinnamon Toast Crunch Milkshake!

Long Live the King!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

This is gonna be a quick one, but I was at Burger King with my friend Josh the other day gettin' my veggie burger on. We were just about done eating when he says, "They have a Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake now if you're interested." As you can imagine, my eyes lit up with excitement! So I replied with ,"Hell yeah, I'm interested!" Went up to the counter and got me one before we left.

Look at that! I was actually able to find an advertisement for this one!  

Much like the other two (the Froot Loops Milkshake, and the Lucky Charms Milkshake), this one is a vanilla milkshake with the cereal blended in. Easy enough to make at home, but lazy enough to not.

Lets pack that cup!

Sippin' it in the car this time. Gotta say, if you like cinnamon, it's quite good. Josh choked on his a little bit because of the cinnamon, but as long as you're not a little bitch, you should be fine.

If I were to rank the BK cereal shakes from best to worst, I'd say the Lucky Charms one is still in the lead, followed by this cinnamon boi here, and then last but not least the Froot Loops one. There's nothing wrong with the Froot Loops shake, I just feel like the Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch shakes had a bit more flavor to them.

Mocha Crunch!

They spelled my name wrong on my Starbucks cup!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the most white girl Cereal Blog entry to date (I'd say "of  all time" but we're doing pumpkin spice Cheerios in October, so that may have this beat)!

That's right, folks, coffee flavored cereal! Made to excite my white gurl taste buds! I personally really like coffee. Like, a lot. Well, most of the time, at least. Sometimes my stomach is like "Don't you fucking dare!" but most of the time, coffee and I get along just fine. That being said, I don't usually go for the fancy pants iced-mocha-grande-gelato-skim milk-froyo-Ugg boots-pink sunglasses-Snapchat filter-vitamin enriched (I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore) type of coffee. I just usually drink regular black coffee or regular coffee with like two sugars, one cream kind of deal. Nothing fancy. But either way, I'm pretty hyped to try this out!  

Oh, but before I get any further, I wanted to show you guys some silly thing I made!

Yep. I designed a cereal box. For those of you who know me in real life, you probably know that I can't draw for shit (my creative skills pretty much end at sub-par graphic design and even subber-par memes) so this this creation was sort of a unofficial collaboration with my friend Dani Kassander. She drew the original picture of me eating cereal, and I just went ahead and edited it in GIMP (It's like Photoshop, but free). It didn't exactly turn out all that well as far as GIMP not pixelating her drawing a bunch, but you know what they say, "A good artist blames his tools." Here's the original drawing below.

And while we're still on the subject, check out Dani's official Website (she's an animator!) and her official  YouTube!

Anyway, let's pack that bowl!!

Judging from the picture on the box, I thought they'd be more round, like Cocoa Puffs, but they're more or less flat discs like Cookie Crisp. I gotta say, they actually tasted like a mocha cappuccino! Like, it was surprisingly accurate. Kinda tore up my mouth a bit, but maybe that's because I didn't let the milk sink in enough. Not sure. Either way, I enjoyed it! Giving these an 8/10! If you want to wake up in the morning and want to trick your brain into thinking you drank some coffee because you're trying to cut back on caffeine, then I highly recommend it! 

Anyway, sorry for the lack of jokes, but I wanted to save some of the white girl jokes for October. 

Untill next time!

Cereal Blog OTG and Coheed & Cambria

Eating Dicks!

Hey, folks. Chad Zilch here. Today marks the first ever Cereal Blog On The Go!

I was on the way to a Choheed & Cambria concert in Pittsburgh (more on that below if you're interested.) and we stopped at a place called Dick's Diner.

We were all looking through the menu, and my sister's boyfriend had pointed out that the menu includes cereals. He then said, "You can get some pictures for your blog here." And I was like, "That's the dumbest and greatest idea ever." So I asked the waitress what cereals were available, and Corn Flakes seemed like the best option.

The portion of cereal wasn't that great, but the cereal to milk ratio was on point, so I guess that's all that matters. I mean, I wasn't expecting a huge amount of cereal like I eat at my house, but I was kind of hoping for at least two cups of cereal, and I'm pretty sure this was only one cup. The milk was brought in a small cup and was kinda warm. Not like grossly warm or anything, but it certainty could have been colder.

Overall, pretty good cereal. I'm like 99% certain it was name brand Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Biggest complaint was the milk temperature. 

I'd give it a 8.5/10

See ya, folks.

(Up next is the concert part of the blog, so if you only came here for the cereal, your job here is done.)

Coheed & Cambria LIVE At Stage AE in Pittsburgh

(I wrote a lot of this stuff on the ride home from the show so it could still be fresh in my mind)

Coheed and Cambria: Love em, hate em, or Google em, they're my favorite rock band.

 (And have been since like 2005.)

I'm sure a lot of you probably don't know, but I've never been to a concert before. I've been to bars with musical guests, and open mic nights, but as far as going somewhere just to see musical talent in a large crowd while your feet fall off, I've never done it. Till now.

Coheed and Cambria took my concert hymen and tore it the fuck up. 

They rocked the place. As soon as Claudio started singing, my feet didn't hurt anymore. It's incredible to focus so much on something you forget everything else. 

It's incredible to see a band you've idolized for about ten years just standing on stage like 50 feet away from you. Like, "Wow. They're people, too." Seeing people singing along is quite an emotional experience as well. All these people just shouting their heads off to a song they no-doubt have an emotional experience to. Whether it be a failed relationship, a current relationship, a good memory, a bad memory, it was just magical. When everyone sang the chorus to "Atlas," it's like they're all just telling Claudio's son to just relax because even though his dad is off touring with the band, he still loves his son and can't wait to get home and see him. 

I'm pretty sure only people I know read this thing, so that's as sappy as I'll get. 

In fact to counteract the sappiness, I now know that I said "fuck" at exactly the same time as Claudio and the rest of the band at least three times.

Fantastic experience though. Even if my ears are broken and my voice is wrecked from yelling, I'd totally go again if I ever get the chance. Just gotta wait till my hearing comes back. 

Peace to the mountain.
