Coco-pops
Dear Kellogs,
Surely you should know by now that you product ‘Coco-pops’ has a massive following, and not just from young children. You must remember the humiliating climbdown when we forced you to change the name back to Coco-pops from Choco-crispies (really, who the hell came up with that one?), and you may even know about the restorative powers of a bowl of your chocolately breakfast cereal (for cold, flu and other ailments that require bed rest take 1-2 bowls up to 3 times per day in addition to your normal medication for an enhanced healing benefit). Clearly this is a product that you leave the <expletive> alone. But you can’t can you? Now you’re peddling hot milk with Coco-pops. Hot milk? Are you people insane? Coco-pops are for cold milk. If you want something warming then have some Readybrek or something. Don’t come running to me when the backlash hits you.
Lots of love,
Dom Xxx
So it’s not just me that saw the advert and exclaimed:
“Why the f*** would you want hot milk on coco-pops…”
It must be COLD milk! The thought of coco-pops with milk even at room temperature disgusts me!
I do seem to recall a period when they changed the ingredients and made them totally inedible (well to me at least)
The very idea of hot milk with anything is just plain wrong. I mean if it was supposed to be hot it would come out of a cow at 37 degrees rather than a healthy chilled temperature of 2 degrees. Obviously.
Who the hell has chocolate for breakfast anyway? All I can stomach for the first four hours of the day is black coffee.
Happy Christmas!

It’s not Christmas
you know, it *might* not be that bad, I mean, you could like *try* it and see. Worse case it might be unpleasant and you would have lost out to the tune of 1 by blob of milk and one by handful of coco pops…
And it might be a fantastic near hot chocolate combination of soggy puffed rice bits? Or not.
So it’s not just me? #looks relieved I feel so much better now.
Just as an aside anyone betting someone is going to microwave the milk on full power, pour it over some coco-pops burn themselves and then sue on the grounds that the advert told them to do it?
What do you mean it might not be that bad? Have you no imagination man? Ice cold milk. They’ve been telling us that for years, and now they’re backtracking.
Bathgirl, give it time, I’m sure there will be a class action suit in America any time now on the grounds that sme lawyer wants a new yacht.
