Last night, when I had taken enough sleeping pills to take a horse down, I was laying awake in bed munching on Chex Mix. This is a terrible habit, lecture unneeded, problem admitted. Moving forward.
This bag of
General Mills‘
Chex Mix really had me thinking. Clearly the star of the mix are the Chex cereal pieces. They are great, and super salty in the ‘Traditional’ flavor bag (the only kind ill eat). But someone, for god’s sake, please explain to me why the pretzels get second highest billing? The always taste stale, they have no salt and there are actually 2 varieties of pretzels in the bag (the’ o’s’ and the ‘windows’ as I like to call them).
Here is why I am so upset. There is a clear dark horse in this snack grab bag and I just don’t feel the delightful bagel chips (b.c. to make things easier) get the respect they deserve. Yes, there are two varieties of b.c, the pumpernickel and the plain, but still the ratio of b.c. to anything else in the bag is sadly low.
Then it struck me. If
Post can be smart enough to find the best part of their cereal
Honey Bunches of Oats, which is clearly the bunches, and make a cereal dedicated simply to their own deliciousness called
Just Bunches, why can’t Chex Mix do the same for the b.c.’s? They make boxes of just Chex cereal and someone makes both pretzels o’s and pretzel windows. I think it is time for the b.c., specifically the mini variety from the Chex Mix family, to get it’s chance to shine!
Call me General Mills!
