Still haven’t been able to find a good cinnamon oat cereal as good as Kellogg’s Cinnamon Mini Buns. Every once in a while, I see a cereal with the same main ingredients as Cinnamon Mini Buns, but it doesn’t taste the same. But occasionally it does happen, like Bill and Ted’s Excellent Cereal, and Croonchy Stars… Also, why can’t I find anything that tastes like Golden Grahams anymore? That commercial used to be ubiquitous.
