nutritious junk

Fiber One should have a myspace page. Seriously, it would have so many friends, way more than me (cause i dont provide you with you daily fiber dose nor am i crunchy and delcious). Fiber one has a number of hits under its belt, their classic cereal is great fiber insurance, their honey clusters are a nice and sweeter take, and lets not forget their new yummy bars. But they have another product to wow us over, their raisn bran clusters. Nutrtionally they are ok, 170 calories for a heavy 1 cup weighing in at 55 gm serving with 11 grams of fiber. But looking at he ingredients, i must say i was quite shocked. Cause guess what, the third ingredient is, yup, sugar. A couple ingredients down is some more shockers like corn syrup, salt, brown sugar, and brown sugar syrup. hmmmm....why all the sweetners? The Optimum Power Breakfast tasted sweeter than this one and it didnt have all these added sugars! Anyhow, taste wise, i must say i was a bit disappointed too. Maybe cause i am biased and dont fancy raisins all that much, but really, these flakes were not something special and actually tasted a little strange. I dont even like raisin bran, but i'd say the raisin bran flakes taste better than these mock ups. I know, its tempting to buy new products especially from a tried and true company like Fiber One, but skip this one. Get the original Fiber One or get Raisin Bran, its like getting a "Prado" bag instead of a Prada one. So dont fall for this silly imitation.
