Strawberry Rice Krispies exist in this world and we need them in our bellies ASAP

Jade Hayden

Giz dem.

Look lads, let’s level here.

Rice Krispies are not the most exciting breakfast cereal in the world.

They’re nice, they’ve got a good texture, they’re a bit of a throwback. All in all a decent enough way to spend your morning.

Still though, there’s something about the humble Rice Krispie that’s just a little bit standard.

Sure it’s got that sweet, sweet snap, crackle, pop, but what else has it got going for it, really?

Not a whole lot, to be honest.

That was, until, now because Strawberry Rice Krispies are suddenly a thing are we are equal parts enthralled and intrigued.

According to Delish.com, this is the first time in 10 years that Kellogg’s have introduced a new flavour – and it’s a good ‘un too.

The publication say that the brand will “[deliver] on one of fans’ top flavour preferences with a simply, naturally inspired strawberry flavour.”

Beautiful.

Just beautiful.

And as it turns out, this isn’t the first time that Strawberry Rice Krispies have been a thing either.

They used to be on sale back in the ’80s, but were eventually discontinued for reasons unknown. They’ll be back early next year though with a whole new (probably nicer) recipe.

The only issue is that they’re currently only launching in the States and that they won’t be available in Ireland.

A modern tragedy, if we ever saw one.
