The Flash Cinnamon Bolts Cereal

Our local Dillons grocery store accidently got a case of the Flash Cinnamon Bolts cereal. They were never put on the shelf and went straight to the clearance shelf. My sister actually picked up a box for me when she discovered them early in October. Unfortunately, the store did not get any of the other Cap'n Cruch cereals inspired by DC Comics. The cinnamon-flavored cereal are shaped like lightning bolts.

The back of the box features a large pinup of Barry Alan running as the Flash along with some Flash Facts:

One side of the cereal box showcases the Superman Strong Berry and Supergirl Strong Berry (strawberry) cereal boxes:

So how was the actual lightning bolt-shaped cereal? The cinnamon flavor was weak with the milk making it even weaker. They were a little bit better without the milk. I was also disappointed that the box didn't come a cheap Flash lightning bolt toy ring. The store had a few more boxes on their clearance shelf last weekend but I didn't bother picking up another box.

The New Golden Age Ad

Geoff Johns is bringing back the Golden Age of DC Comics in a one-shot special called The New Golden Age coming out on November 8, 2022. This will lead to a new Justice Society of America title and Stargirl: The Lost Children. The new JSA team will consist of Hawkman, Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Dr. Fate, Huntress (Helena Wayne), Power Girl, Wildcat (Yolanda Montez), Dr. Mid-Nite (Beth Chapel), Jakeem and Thunderbolt. I can't wait for the one-shot special and the new titles.

This is a pretty interesting Elseworlds story but you might want to wait until the limited series is collected in a trade paperback.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 31: Kinder Joy Halloween Monsters

Happy Halloween and I hope everyone had fun with this year's Countdown to Halloween posts. Today's post is a look at some of the Halloween toys that Kinder Joy put out this year. I only got four just to see what I would get. I ended up with a ghost, a vampire and two zombies. The little monsters glow in the dark.

Each Kinder Joy monster came with instructions on how to put them together plus where to go to download the app, which I haven't done:

Now a word about this year's Monster Cereals. Boo-Berry was the only one I found this year at the local Walmart's. I'm very disappointed that I couldn't find Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Fruit Brute (I really wanted the latter one). I also found and picked up a box of Halloween Fruity Pebbles and a box of Hocus Pocus 2 cereal. I think that the other three Monster Cereals are missing because the local Walmart's still have tons of the General Mills cereals with the retro toys in them. So far, I have only been eating the Halloween Fruity Pebbles.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 30: McGoblin Bucket

My sister and I both got the McGoblin bucket from the local McDonald's about a week ago. We didn't even try to get the other two since the green bucket was the only one we wanted. To me, the McGoblin bucket looks more like a witch than a goblin.

The McGoblin bucket also came with a circular activity flyer with stickers of costumes for witch and werewolf on one side:

The flip side of the activity flyer has two skeletons that you can put the stickers on to dress them up for Halloween:
