Is Deep-Fried Cereal Gross or Great?

It seems like every summer, we hear about the latest deep-fried something, whether it’s Twinkies, Oreos or Kool Aid. Well, this summer, it’s … cereal. That's right: deep-fried cereal -- made with Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch -- has made its debut at the San Diego fair this month.

deep fried cereal

The “breakfast” -- or should we call it dessert? -- is drizzled with syrup and topped with a few pieces of cereal. And so far, it’s not exactly a big hit. "Now, when I was trying the deep-fried Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the pool of grease in the bottom of the basket made me clutch my heart a little. The doughy ball of greasy cereal wasn't bad, but it definitely isn't something I'd go out of my way to buy,” one reviewer wrote.

The deep-fried creation du jour comes from Charlie Boghosian, owner of Chicken Charlie’s and creator of last year's deep-fried Kool Aid balls. He also serves deep-fried Girl Scout cookies at his restaurant. We don’t know about you, but we’d say Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch are decadent enough as they are, without the extra grease. Do you think deep-fried cereal is gross? Or great?

    Why post questions like these? I mean, you know the answer. Most are going to say gross. Like the question that asked if you would eat a deep-fried pork blood Popsicle. Obviously...no. deep fried pork blood popsicle

    What a way to take something that is basically good for you and make it bad. Cereals do a lot to add vitamins and whole grains, etc., to make them as healthy as possible, so why come along and fry them? But hey, if you want to eat it - more power to ya!

    Whether or not it's truly gross in appearance,
    I'm definitely not interested in sampling this concoction.

    That's not something I have any desire to try.

    Looks like something a dog would leave behind after eating crayons.

    We should be eating less food that has been deep fried. The funeral directors may have their business delayed, but we will all get there eventually. No reason to speed up the process,

    I'm sure it's good, since it seems everything else that is fried taste amazing. But come on people, do we really need any more junk food. Cereal isn't that healthy to begin with, since it's loaded with sugar, but come on! Unites states is growing in the Obesity level, they should start working on more healthy things.

    Seems pretty disgusting to me, but then I guess one doesn't know how it is until one tries it. It definitely doesn't sit well though.
