You may remember, last month I blogged about the disappearance of both Golden and Cinnamon Grahams from our supermarket shelves. I was then informed, via a comment left on my blog, that the cereal had been rebranded Curiously Cinnamon.
Despite much hunting, I was unable to find the cereal on the supermarket shelves, until I did an Asda online shop. So excited was I by the discovery and the price of only £1.50 a box, I ordered 4 packets, and this afternoon, following the delivery of my shopping, I sampled the king of cereals.
The cereal’s previous name, Cinnamon Grahams, always confused me – why was it named after a kid I went to school with? The new name, Curiously Cinnamon, was equally confusing.
Even more confusing was the slogan on the box ‘New bonkers taste!’ – I am not sure why they thought need to call the taste ‘bonkers’. After all, the cereal is called ‘Curiously Cinnamon’, which would suggest it tastes of cinnamon. If it tasted of fish and strawberry pizza, I suppose it would be a bonkers taste.
To cut a long, rambling blog short, I ate a bowl of the cereal. It was nice, although I would not describe the taste as ‘bonkers’. There was also no need for the box to use the description ‘the indescribable taste of toasted cinnamon squares’. It tasted of cinnamon – something that can be described and that I was not at all curious about, despite the name of the cereal.
Very silly marketing… If Nestlé aren’t careful, I will be getting Alex Keegan to email them some comments and questions, like he did to Just for Men.

What do you see when you see this image?
According to psychologists, if you see a young woman looking behind her, you're young yourself. If you see an elderly lady facing left, you're old.
That's wrong for starters.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
