There are some things that humanity should have never created: bacon-flavored toothpaste, a certain local trolley that nobody asked for and (arguably) the worst of them all, Sour Patch Kids flavored cereal.
It brings to mind the age-old adage, "just because you can doesn't mean you should." The cereal tastes like Fruit Loops dusted in citric acid.
The "kid"-shaped cereal pieces look more like deformed bow ties than the popular candy.
The Sour Patch Kids Cereal _ a Frankenstein creation of some bored food scientist somewhere _ is the kind of thing that should have a warning on the package.
In fairness, the cereal is not a total disaster. Imagine the horror if Post decided to make a cereal out Gobstoppers or Pop Rocks.
The sour taste dissipates once the cereal is in milk. After a few minutes, it just tastes like Fruit Loops.
There is one silver lining to this abomination of a cereal, however. For $3.98 at a local Walmart, you can get the perfect gag gift. Hang tight for Post's new Twinkies cereal that hits the shelves in late December.
