Last night as Holly was clipping coupons from Sunday’s paper, she came across one for a new cereal from Kellogg’s called Wild Animal Crunch. The coupon struck me as funny due to the fact that it showed a panda on the box.
My first thought was that a major corporation has finally stopped pretending that they care about the environment and is actually making a panda flavored cereal. Just what I always wanted: a cereal that has more panda than it’s competitors. I hate the fact that there’s just no good breakfast cereals on the market made from endangered species.
I decided that I needed to look into this more and find out what the deal was. Not only is Kellogg’s making panda cereal, they also have dolphin, polar bear, meerkat, and baby seal varieties.
Funny, I always thought that dolphins were only good when mixed with, or substituted for tuna. Now I come to find out that they make an excellent breakfast item as well. This is wonderful news.
And what’s up with the meerkat version? I lived in Africa. These things aren’t endangered. How did they make it into the breakfast mix? I’d much rather see zebra than meerkat because zebra is delicious.
In all seriousness though, I’m sure that Kellogg’s only uses animal flavoring. If they used the real animals, the PETA folks would be all over it.
UPDATE: Holly and the kids went grocery shopping this afternoon and purchased the baby seal variety. Seal tastes pretty good.

Surprisingly, they taste sort of like cinnamon and sugar on a non-cheesy Cheeto.
Hey this is great, I have the meerkat flavored…they’re made of chocolate…amazing!!
What? No marshmallow warthogs for the meerkat cereal?
