Speaker 1: Welcome to Serial Killers episode number five. I'm Scotty B
Speaker 1: and I'm Andrew, and we need a theme song, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'll come up with a new one every time.
Speaker 1: This one will be if there's a cereal you like again?
Speaker 1: You want us to eat?
Speaker 2: Call us? We are the serial Killers.
Speaker 1: How are they going to call us?
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: You change her for twenty nineteen and say tweet us
Speaker 1: at serial Killers PC and we'll eat your cereal. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, sounds sturdy. Yeah anyway, Hi, welcome. I can't
Speaker 1: believe we're still doing this, but we're here because I
Speaker 1: guess people like it. I don't know, or maybe nobody
Speaker 1: likes it, but we just like to eat cereals.
Speaker 2: I did check the spreaker because we uploaded all the
Speaker 2: episodes yesterday. Yeah. Four one listen.
Speaker 1: Oh and that was my mom. She listened to all
Speaker 1: four episode doesn't know how to listen. It was definitely
Speaker 1: not her.
Speaker 2: It's cute.
Speaker 1: Yes, So hey, you know what we promised in a
Speaker 1: episode a couple of episodes ago that we were gonna
Speaker 1: do Blueberry Sereal Day. So today is Blueberry Sereal Day.
Speaker 1: It's almost summertime, so blueberry.
Speaker 2: I am conflicted. I'm excited for blueberry, but I don't
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, it's not like they're fresh blueberries. No, I know. Please,
Speaker 1: it's so artificially flavored.
Speaker 2: We are freeze or are there freeze dried blueberries?
Speaker 1: There are? Actually you can get that in a special k.
Speaker 1: They do have a berry cereal that has little blueberries
Speaker 1: in it, which is not terrible.
Speaker 2: This is just artificially flavored blue No, you know what, I.
Speaker 1: Don't think any of this is artificially flavored. It's naturally
Speaker 1: flavored with other flavors. Well, anyway, so today we're doing
Speaker 1: blueberry cheerios, which is brand new, is fresh to the
Speaker 1: market blueberry cheerios. It doesn't say limited time, so it
Speaker 1: could be.
Speaker 2: I love. How excited you get this is fresh to
Speaker 2: the market.
Speaker 1: Well, it is, it is. And blueberry Checks we're gonna
Speaker 1: call that the classic cereal this week because Checks has
Speaker 1: been around forever. I don't know how blueberry around, but
Speaker 1: you know, and both of them are gluten free.
Speaker 2: Oh thank god, I'm godn't beating it without.
Speaker 1: It, Garrett, you can have this cereal, I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: The one thing that kind of disappoints me, though, I'm
Speaker 1: a huge box tops guy. Do you know what box
Speaker 1: tops are like? On the top of certain brands of things,
Speaker 1: there's a little box top that you clip out, you
Speaker 1: send them into the school and you save it.
Speaker 2: You can you give you ten cents in school all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But if you look on the top of the
Speaker 1: blueberry Cheerios, it says no more clipping box tops, just
Speaker 1: scan your receipt and that's lame. I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1: I do like the clipping, but let's get on with
Speaker 1: the cereal. So where do you want to go first?
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to do the Cheerios first, just
Speaker 2: because I'm reading the back mead with real blueberry puree
Speaker 2: and other natural flavors.
Speaker 1: Well, that's good.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say that the box looks great. Cheerios
Speaker 2: marketing team, I love how the box looks.
Speaker 1: Props to General Mills. Okay, yeah, and look at that
Speaker 1: cute little game on the back. I like that.
Speaker 2: I don't really understand it.
Speaker 1: But pour me a cup please while I get the milk.
Speaker 2: Wait can Okay? The back of the box, where do
Speaker 2: you remember and you may not cocoa puffs? Yeah, did
Speaker 2: a box like the back of the box that would
Speaker 2: pop out and it was almost like they meet a mine.
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
Speaker 2: But do you remember I don't. Oh my god. It
Speaker 2: was the craziest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: Must have been in the mid nineties if you remember.
Speaker 2: It, Yeah, it was. And I remember peeling out the
Speaker 2: entire box to create this little mind thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, the cereal is pouring out because it's still full. Right.
Speaker 1: My favorite thing was, and I'm sure you remember that,
Speaker 1: is when there was a free prize inside. Yes, but
Speaker 1: most of the time they just slipped it in between
Speaker 1: the box and the bag, so you didn't even have
Speaker 1: to go to the bottom. So I would just tear
Speaker 1: it open, pull the bag out, and get the stupid
Speaker 1: water gun that was in there. You did that, of course,
Speaker 1: that's terrible. I stole it before my brother could get it.
Speaker 1: You kidding me?
Speaker 2: So sad?
Speaker 1: All right, So here we go. We're using skim milk
Speaker 1: this episode, not that it matters, but just letting you know.
Speaker 1: We flip flop between skim and one percent.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of milk. Okay, that's all right.
Speaker 1: So the smell the aroma is the aroma. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: very hold on, I'm wafting, wafting. Yeah, it's very blueberry e.
Speaker 2: I actually like that, to be honest. Okay, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna say it. I feel like all blueberry things dots
Speaker 2: the same. Well did they all get them from the
Speaker 2: same artificial flavor store?
Speaker 1: But that's the thing. These are not artificially flavored, which
Speaker 1: is cool.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because there's natural pier and.
Speaker 1: There's pictures of blueberries on the box, so they be
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, here we go one, two three.
Speaker 1: I'm a fam I am as well. No good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: from the same company. I bought you Booberry.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't like Booberry because.
Speaker 1: There's nothing real about it. But we may get there,
Speaker 1: probably around Halloween time because that's when they come back out.
Speaker 2: I kind of like that the cheerio taste still remains,
Speaker 2: because I love the taste of just regular cheerios, So
Speaker 2: I not me. You don't.
Speaker 1: That's boring as hell.
Speaker 2: Can I say the one thing that bothers me about Cheerios?
Speaker 2: How can you put a damn blueberry flavor out on
Speaker 2: the market, But you got rid of Team Cheerios. Team
Speaker 2: Cheerios was the best Cheerios.
Speaker 1: Flavor different or three different grains.
Speaker 2: You got your apple jat, you got your apple one,
Speaker 2: you had your glaze.
Speaker 1: That's not what Team Cheerios was.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
Speaker 1: Team Cheerios was like three different grains. No, and they
Speaker 1: were slightly sweetened. No.
Speaker 2: Team Cheerios you had the like the sugary ones, like
Speaker 2: a glazed one. You had your honey nut, and you
Speaker 2: had the apple and you had the regular.
Speaker 1: Do I have to google this live on the podcast?
Speaker 2: Go for it? I know I'm right. Team Cheerios was
Speaker 2: my favorite cereal ever.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of it. I'm pretty sure Bruce Jenner
Speaker 1: was on the front of one of those.
Speaker 2: Shut up, I think, so, don't you mean, Caitlin?
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, that's right. If people are going to get
Speaker 1: mad at me, well not for your mom might because
Speaker 1: she's the only listen, please talk amongst yourself.
Speaker 2: Well I so yeah, Team Cheerios it was great. I've
Speaker 2: tweeted about Team Cheerios in the past. Cheerios actually got
Speaker 2: back to me because I tweeted them and was like
Speaker 2: I missed the cereal and they were like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: we don't actually want to produce it anymore, but if
Speaker 2: we ever do you'll know.
Speaker 1: I feel like they brought it back for one of
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Now that's terribly long ago.
Speaker 2: Not in the past ten years. No, m M, because
Speaker 2: I would have stocked up on it.
Speaker 1: Team Cheerios formerly Team USA Cheerios in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't say what they were favorite. Just no,
Speaker 2: just google the box. The pictures were on the box.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 2: I wonder if people are actually finding this entertaining.
Speaker 1: Nobody is and you.
Speaker 2: Made it six minutes in. Can you tweet us and
Speaker 2: say I got six minut it's in and I'm liking this.
Speaker 2: Let us tell your thoughts.
Speaker 1: But see, this is information that we should all have
Speaker 1: before we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see look click that all right?
Speaker 1: Team Cheerios, Oh hold on, I want to get bigger.
Speaker 2: I hate everything Team Cheerios.
Speaker 1: The ceria was originally called Team USA Cheerios when it
Speaker 1: was introduced in nineteen ninety six. Is a limited edition
Speaker 1: tie in with the Summer Olympics. There's no other information
Speaker 1: about it. Well down, I can't it doesn't open. I
Speaker 1: hate everything.
Speaker 2: This is great and entertaining.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not talking about Team Cheerios. We're talking about
Speaker 1: Blueberry cheerios. So we're gonna need a rating. I see
Speaker 1: that the milk is blue.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give this three bowls in a spoon
Speaker 2: three and a half.
Speaker 1: I like.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: Can we just remind everybody because I forgot already what's
Speaker 1: our rating system? We go up to five balls.
Speaker 2: That it so like a bowl is a full point,
Speaker 2: So we're out of five bowls. Okay, So I give
Speaker 2: this three bowls and a spoon, which is like a
Speaker 2: point five.
Speaker 1: I will actually agree and do the same. It's really good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I could eat it probably every day, but i'd
Speaker 1: go three balls in a spoon. Yes, it's pretty good,
Speaker 1: you know't let me test the milk for you whole.
Speaker 2: The milk is delicious. It's a little sweet, not too overpowering.
Speaker 2: It kind of is like the blueberry cheerio itself. There's
Speaker 2: not so much blueberry that it's overpowering.
Speaker 1: I like it. The milk is disgusting looking. It really
Speaker 1: is nauseating to look at, but it is delicious to taste.
Speaker 2: Cold stone milk that's grayish blue.
Speaker 1: You're right, except not quite as sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why does birthday cake have the same color? I
Speaker 2: don't know that just makes me question the cold Stone
Speaker 2: Cereal even more.
Speaker 1: You know what, that was a really good cereal. I'm
Speaker 1: in I like it cool. Plus it was on sale.
Speaker 1: I got this box for fifty cents, so can't beat
Speaker 1: that perfect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, next Cereal?
Speaker 1: All right, so Blueberry Checks, same company, General Mills, love them.
Speaker 1: Still can clip this box top? So happy.
Speaker 2: I did not know there were that many different Checks flavor.
Speaker 1: There are lots of Checks flavors.
Speaker 2: I had no idea.
Speaker 1: Fantastic chocolate, awesome, love it.
Speaker 2: Checks sounds so good I've never had.
Speaker 1: My kids are all about vanilla Checks.
Speaker 2: M that sounds good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And see the thing I like about this is
Speaker 1: because Life Cereal is similar. I love Life, but Checks
Speaker 1: is kind of coated with the flavoring, whereas Life is
Speaker 1: just kind of it's just in there. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: don't like it. I like I like the sweet coating
Speaker 1: of Checks.
Speaker 2: Now, I just want Life Cereal like I really want.
Speaker 1: We'll get to you a Quaker stand by, so I can't.
Speaker 2: If you've made it eight minutes in this episode, please
Speaker 2: tweet us.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're out of our minds.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh I was wrong. All Blueberry is not the
Speaker 2: same this.
Speaker 1: One smells a little bit more fresh, though, which is weird.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you want to say that, well, I mean.
Speaker 1: If you look at the picture on the boxes, like
Speaker 1: fully sugar like jammy, can.
Speaker 2: I say one thing? The box is very deceiving because
Speaker 2: I thought that's what it looks like.
Speaker 1: Well it does. I'm both. If you got to flip
Speaker 1: it over, what one side has it the other side doesn't?
Speaker 2: No, No, I thought it looked like that, like for checks.
Speaker 1: What are you talking. That's not even real milk on
Speaker 1: that spoon. It's glue.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: I look the blueberries on this box, they're not actual
Speaker 1: blueberry they're drawings.
Speaker 2: It's funny, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. It tastes a little artificial.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1: I wish you could see Andrew's face right now.
Speaker 2: It just it kind of tastes like I'm chewing. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, you know what it tastes like? Tell me
Speaker 2: if you're you know, like a fun dip, like it
Speaker 2: almost tastes like the sugar blueberries not that sweet, I think, so.
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan. This is kind of gross.
Speaker 1: It's not awful. You don't like it. Well, you said
Speaker 1: you're not a fan of blueberry anyway, little gross, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe spit my milk out.
Speaker 2: If this was shark tank, I'm out. Well, I give
Speaker 2: this one a bowl. That's it. Wow, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: That's the lowest rating ever from you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1: Look, I don't hate it. I would eat it again.
Speaker 1: I'd go two balls in a spoon on Oh, because
Speaker 1: I like checks. I don't like any plain checks like
Speaker 1: corn checks or wheat checks or I.
Speaker 2: Think I would like the taste of a regular checks. No,
Speaker 2: the blueberry is not doing it for me, though.
Speaker 1: Give me checks Mix. I'll put milk in that. I'd
Speaker 1: rather have that than just plain checks.
Speaker 2: I feel like an idiotsse. I just realized checks mix
Speaker 2: is a thing. I love checks Mix, and I just realized,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: There's check cereal in checks mix, right, That's where it
Speaker 1: came from.
Speaker 2: That's the connection I just made.
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go. I'll cold beating it.
Speaker 2: Okay, you have fun with that.
Speaker 1: Even when cereal sucks, I'll still eat it. Yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 2: Your standards are very.
Speaker 1: Low, but it's not awful. So Blueberry Day was was
Speaker 1: kind of a bust, I guess mostly for Andrew.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean blueberry cheerios. I if, like, if I'm
Speaker 2: hungry for breakfast and I don't want to order here,
Speaker 2: I will gladly go over and have some blueberry cheerios.
Speaker 2: But you will not ever find me eating blueberry checks
Speaker 2: in my whole life.
Speaker 1: All right, blueberry checks for Andrew fail, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Give me some flavored checks and I'll
Speaker 1: eat it.
