Junk Cereals: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros
Tumblr media
So there I sat with Luke Skywalker and a platter of churros, offering him a chance to help me stop the terror, but he responded, "You don't need Luke Skywalker. You think what? I'm gonna walk out with cinnamon sticks and face down a whole army?"
With that, I left alone, not even holding churros but a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros, disappointed that our fit of cultural appropriation couldn't spur heroism. These are idealistic in a cinnamon sugar mission, but not idealized in the sense of other miniature treats turned into cereals.
General Mills replicates the shape of churros in these log pieces, but not the taste. These are hard and crunchy, akin to the dichotomy between Post Donettes cereal and actual Donettes.
Also, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros gives a fuller flavor when dry than when in milk. The cinnamon taste is dulled in milk and doesn't release cinnamon into the milk like regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or the way the leftover milk from French Toast Crunch tastes like syrup.
So, you ask, how do I know if that photo above shows the cereal immersed in chocolate milk?
See, I also ate it in regular milk.

Boom! The knowledge from experience in multiple environments has been demonstrated.
What did I learn from eating it in chocolate milk? Even cinnamon sugar can be made sweeter and richer.
We're afforded the low road in experiencing different cultures. So some of us just enter Walmart and get this cereal to feel good about ourselves.
I've had several churros in my life and will eat several more, at least. First, I'll locate a Mexican bakery and see what they have. You can locate one, too. I know you're thinking, "This will be my next Google search?"
The only thing stopping you is your own inhibitions. And inhibitions shouldn't limit eating delights.
