    The best thing is that Japan has it right with Ziploc cereal bags!

    • @Hawk1966

      Agreed with that. A great idea. I always hated no matter how tightly you rolled or folded the cereal went stale so fast.

      @@Hawk1966 There's bag clips I use for everything from crisps to noodle packages, the good ones clamp it really tight and I had cereal stay crunchy for weeks. (I don't eat it often and it's usually not the crazy American sugar variety, but that shouldn't have too much of an impact)

      @haleyp898 Před 4 lety +4

      In the US I sometimes find cereal in the resealable bags at discount stores like dollar general, and dollar tree. They're not a great value for money because they're $1 and way smaller than standard boxes, but you don't waste any so if you have to throw away stale cereal a lot it might be worth it.

    The description of the donut one sounds like corn pops, especially the texture. That tea one seems really interesting, would definitely try it. My favorite cereals are Honey Bunches of Oats (w/yogurt is the best) and Trix (because I am secretly a 6 year old), but I am that person who buys a box of the newest different flavored cereal because I have to try it. The only downside is I feel wasteful if I don't finish the box, so I have to keep eating it if it's gross.

    Can recommend Weetabix and cini minis. There are lots of Weetabix variants and all I’ve tries taste good. One can add whatever one likes to them and one package lasts lasts very long. Cini minis are delicious and the only cons to them are that they are made by Nestlé, that a package is really expensive for the relatively low content, and that they can be addictive.
    Also I know Ferrero sells Nutella of different recipes depending on the country. Was wondering how Nutella tastes in japan
