special K

Has anyone tried the new special K- WELL its not new theyve changed the recipe- on the box it says made with 3 wholegrains- its pretty awful !!- Have managed to find 5 of the old style at a local co-op as a tick-over.Anyone tried another brand aldi etc that tastes like the original? why change a decent product ?

Have you tried it? its sweeter/ texture is different/yuk- stock up on the old style if you can find it- I searched and only the co-op had some ..........so I cleared the shelves

Hmm, I haven't had Special K for a long time. In fact I hated it when they replaced it before - do you remember the old Special K that looked a bit like Rice Krispies cut in half? Not these large malted flakes. Now that was nice cereal! (Going back a good few years....)

I like special K but will be not happy if new version tastes sweet. Thats the whole point of paying a bit extra & getting something that is better for you. 😉

special K is the biggest con going! sells itself as a suitable cereal for aiding dieting yes has more sugar, salt etc and less fibre than a lot of 'non' diet foods (hence it's not approved by SW as an acceptable cereal to count toward your fibre intake)........

i'm pretty sure i saw the contents of rice crispies were better (think it was in terms of less sugar and salt anyway)....
