Cereal Switch-Up Sparks Sweet Debate
Post Consumer Brands Discontinues Oreo O’s, Introduces Oreo Puffs
A cereal switch-up is stirring up sweet — well, mostly salty — discussion. Post Consumer Brands has confirmed to TODAY.com that it’s discontinuing its beloved Oreo O’s cereal and replacing it with something new: Oreo Puffs.
What’s in Oreo Puffs?
Oreo Puffs features chocolaty cereal puffs and mini marshmallows, designed to create a similar experience to dunking an Oreo cookie into a glass of milk. According to Post, Oreo Puffs are made with real Oreo cookie wafers, which are the cookies that sandwich the creme.
Availability and Price
The new cereal will be available at retailers nationwide, including Walmart and Target, for an MSRP of $4.99.
Reaction on Social Media
News of the swap has hit the crumb-filled corners of social media, with popular snack-spotting Instagram account Markie Devo posting about the new product and its predecessor. As usual, his comments section had thoughts.
Mixed Reactions
Some users thought the new cereal was an upgrade, while others were sad to see Oreo O’s go. "They should’ve kept the rings but added marshmallows," wrote one commenter. "Sooo coco puffs," another said, referencing the General Mills-brand analog to the new cereal.
Conclusion
The discontinuation of Oreo O’s and the introduction of Oreo Puffs have sparked a lively debate on social media. While some are excited about the new cereal, others are disappointed to see a beloved classic go. Only time will tell if Oreo Puffs will become a new favorite or if Oreo O’s will make a comeback in the future.
