When the dense black box arrived in my mailbox at the Pitch, I mistakenly thought it was a new cookbook I'm expecting. But the package -- which weighed more than a pound -- actually contained Wheaties Fuel (which Fat City noted had begun appearing in area grocery stores earlier this month).
Because I'd been sent a box of the heavily-hyped, athlete-tested brand extension of Wheaties, I did what any reasonable person would do. I filled a bowl with cereal and milk and had at it.
The Good
If you grew up on sugar cereals, you'll like the taste of Wheaties Fuel. It's a surprise only if you consider Wheaties in the company of Corn Flakes on the sweetness scale.
It's the intersection of Honey Smacks and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, leaving your bowl with the same muddied, sweet milk at the end. The texture is extremely crunchy with pieces that resemble Rice Krispies, flakes from Raisin Bran and broken halves of MultiGrain Cheerios. All of these elements clump together and keep the cereal from going soggy before you reach the bottom of the bowl.

Looks like another churched up version of junkfood. Look, athletes eat this kids, so you should too! Kinda like the kids toting Gatorade around at school in the morning. The only workout these kids are getting is, as you said, unscrewing the cap. Thanks for the crack cereal companies, it's good to know that our kids can continue to develop type 2 diabetes and obesity can continue its dominance.
