The new cereal came about after Kellogg's noticed feedback on social media that adding [cinnamon to Frosted Flakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosted-flakes-shake) is a common breakfast hack. The brand subsequently responded to the overwhelming demand by coming up with a way to incorporate the delicious spice into its ever-popular cereal. The new Cinnamon Frosted Flakes combine the taste of the original Frosted Flakes cereal with real korintje cinnamon, vanilla and notes of both maple and [caramelized sugar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-pops-chocos-caramel) to create a unique flavor profile. The brand also came up with a way to ensure that the cinnamon adheres to each piece of cereal and is not washed off by the addition of milk. The result is a sugary sweet breakfast product that helps to reinvigorate the cereal category. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flavor-infused Cereals:** Food companies can innovate the cereal category through the introduction of new, exotic flavors. - **Social Media Feedback Incorporation:** Brands can leverage social media feedback to create new, customer-driven products that meet consumer demand. - **Innovative Cereal Formulations:** Companies can explore new ways of formulating their cereals to enhance their flavor, texture, and nutritional profile. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Packaged Goods:** The CPG industry can leverage social media and consumer feedback to create innovative products that meet customer demand. - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can explore new flavor combinations and innovative formulations to differentiate themselves and stand out in a crowded marketplace. - **Breakfast Foods:** Brands in the breakfast food industry can create disruptive innovation opportunities by introducing new foods with unique, exciting flavor profiles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Baked Good-Flavored Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-bakery-inspired-cereal.md) - [Crispy Cinnamon-Forward Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-pebbles-cereal.md) - [Chocolate-Flavored Corn Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corn-flakes-1.md) - [Hot Cinnamon Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnafuego-toast-crunch.md) - [Ice Cream Milkshake Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosted-flakes-cookies-creme-milkshake.md) - [Spicy-Sweet Cinnamon Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnafuego.md) - [Cinnamon Sugar Lunch Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rice-krispies-treats-homestyle-cinnamon-sugar.md) - [Glazed Donut Holes Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glazed-donut-holes-cereals.md) - [Waffle-Shaped Cinnamon Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-waffle.md)
