Kellogg's has released three new flavors of its 'Frosted Flakes' cereal line that place an emphasis on childhood and nostalgic flavors. The 'Strawberry Milkshake,' 'Cinnamon French Toast,' and 'Chocolate' flavors are sweet, sugary, and change the color of the milk they are poured in. Many consumers can recall the phenomenon of drinking milk that has been sweetened and colored by a bowl of Kellogg's cereal, and these new flavors perfectly deliver this same sensation.
The Strawberry Milkshake flavor turns its bowl of milk into a vibrant pink with a sweet strawberry flavor, while the Chocolate flavor turns a bowl of milk into what is essentially chocolate milk. The french toast flavor transfers nods of cinnamon sweetness into its dish, creating an ultra-sweet bowl of cereal perfect for consumers with a sweet tooth. The Chocolate Frosted Flakes are flavored with all-natural chocolate, while the other two offerings feature a mix of natural and artificial flavorings.
