Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereal Review

I received a sample of Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereal in my mailbox the other day. I don't even remember requesting it, but I am the last person who would turn down free cereal, so I popped it open and made myself a typical college dinner. I was fairly impressed by what I discovered.

The whole grain flakes have a little curve to them, and managed to stay crunchy until the last spoonful. The flavor is slightly sweet and the little blueberry flavored crunchy clusters, while adding a bit to the textural essence of the cereal, contribute more to the thorough blueberry flavor - it's a sort of blueberry muffin taste sensation without being too overpowering. But I couldn't detect a speck of pomegranate, although I'm not complaining since this cereal was delicious.

Lastly, I think it is important to mention that the blueberry flavor does not taste artificial (despite the listing of sucralose as an ingredient), which calls for some big props to the General Mills' food scientists because that artificial aftertaste can make or break a product.
