I hate everything about it. The concept of a grain free cereal, the price, the art style, the name. Everything.
What if we were to just... remove the C and the S?

I thought grain was good. Why is this grain free? Isn't that like being vitamin free? Or protein free?

Makes me wonder what it's even made of

Maybe because it's low carb or whatever. Or gluten free. Idk

I'd be interested in trying it, but I am not interested in paying for it.

If that was true Id pay more. but every non-sponsored review Ive ever heard has rated it from bland to horrible.

Of course it isnt true. You cannot change reality, no matter how you market it, or how much you can get idiots to overpay for it.

Its a box of cereal that costs like ten fucking dollars, thats insane for cereal. And they sneakily try and get around the fact that its so expensive by telling you the price per serving.

Its like nope Im good.

I bought 4 boxes years ago for $39 because this podcast I listen to "Pod Save America" was hawking it on their show. I tried the Cocoa and Frosted, and threw both of them right into the garbage. I emailed the owner about how I didn't like the taste and he gave me a full refund. And I threw the rest of it in the garbage because I knew it would not taste good. Is there a certain milk you're suppose to use with this cereal? I used 2% milk.

whole milk. even that wouldn't salvage the cereal to become edible.

not even drinking whole cream or half and half would do anything.

This milk is incredible and makes everything taste better, I put it in my Magic Spoon, my coffee, and my homemade ice cream

Is "grain free" supposed to be a good thing? If anything, "wholegrain" or "multigrain" is the selling point in other cereals. What's it made of if not grain?
Given it's low carb and high protein, probably mostly egg white.

first off this stuff is delicious. If you need a high protein diet, this is good stuff to have. Secondly, its all milk protein so if you are lactose intolerant, dont get it.

Sugar isn't what I crave in the morning. Even if Magic Spoon is a one-to-one recreation of the flavors of cereals that I might have enjoyed as a child, it just isn't the taste I crave first thing in the morning.

Besides, corporate mascots were half the fun. Yeah, I'll admit it.

That's intentional separation though. It's like how they put toys that are meant for adult collectors in the electronics section at Walmart.

I've had it, some flavours are trash and some are great. It is expensive but if you're wanting breakfast cereal but need to be low carb then you don't have a lot of affordable choice available to you as a "cereal" like this costs a lot more to produce in the first place than grains, not to mention they have a much lower production volume than other cereals which also drives up the costs.

Anyways, if I was not married to a woman who loves cereal and didn't have a kid who loves cereal? I'd probably buy the cinnamon magic spoon regularly since it would last me a long time as I'm not much of a breakfast cereal person and thus the price isn't really a concern and I genuinely do like a few of the flavours.

But due to the wife and kid? Costs way too much for something I may not even get a single bowl of before its vanished.

As far as you tuber promotions go at least it's a real product so it's better than "Established titles."

I meant there are YouTubers who promote it talking about how great it is, but Magic Spoon sponsors those channels.

When a YouTuber who is not sponsored by Magic Spoon talks about it they consistently say it is trash.
That doesn't necessarily mean it's trash so much as the people who decide to sponsor it might actually like it. That doesn't mean it's good either, just that someone might like it.

Personally I can't stand artificial sweeteners so that's me right out at square one.

Per oz. it's like 4x as expensive as most cereal.
And of course it's never going to be worth it, it's still fucking cereal, what possible sorcery can they do to make it taste so much better than other cereals?
So no, I've never tried it due to price.
Imagine how much cheaper it'd be if they didn't spend so much on marketing. Like, with any product that's advertised so heavily, I always wonder how much of the price is the marketing cost baked in? I know every company advertises, but some definitely spend far more on it than others.

I've heard it sponsored by a fair amount of youtubers I watch(ed), for a couple years. Haven't really seen too many sponsorships for it since they moved into stores.
Oh I see. Thanks for explaining.
