Round 1f has come and gone, with the results being fairly unsuprising given the contenders:
CerealWars Round 1f
In the white corner, with the apples and strawberries, we've got PC 7-grain. And in the yellow corner, with the raisins and oats, we've got GM's fibre1.
The 7-grain had apples. Apples! I'd never had a cereal with apples before. I was excited to try that one out. Little did I know that these apples weren't regular apples, they were ninja apples. They were so good at hiding I couldn't tell that they were even there. At least they didn't shuriken my mouth. The strawberries were slightly less ninja and put in a token appearance. The cereal itself was light and crispy; there were different types of grains (7, I bet) but on the whole it felt like mostly puffy bits of crunchy stuff (kind of like Rice Krispies). Not too shabby overall.
The fibre1 had a lot of fibre. It said so right on the box... 44% of your daily requirement per serving! But who cares? The determining factor in this cereal turned out to be the raisins. Much like the cranberries in Round 1a, the raisins were really chewy and gummed up my mouth. If you grab a spoonful of cereal and it ends up having 4 or 5 raisins in it, it takes a good minute to get it unstuck from your teeth. At least it did for me. Minus the raisins, this cereal would have been about average - it tasted like most other cereals of its kind; after trying so many all the tastes are starting to run together in my head. But the raisins made it worse.
And so, the winner, as you may have guessed: 7-grain with the ninja apples.
