Kellogg's Coco Pops Straws

I'd have to say this is one of kelloggs worst ideas to date, suck milk up through cocoa pops straws as a breakfast cereal, seriously what were they thinking? Well I don't know but I have bought these before and well I've definitely experienced better breakfasts. The straws are made from a kind of wafer lined with chocolate, the idea is that your supposed to suck up the milk through the straw and the chocolate is meant to make the milk chocolaty and nice. In theory this may work but it just doesn't in reality. First of all when you suck up the milk it just tastes like milk as no chocolate actually gets off the inside of the straw so you may as well ...  Read the complete review

The majority of the time I do try to feed my children wholesome and nutritious food. However, now and again I let my mothers halo slip and they do have a treat. Kellogg’s Coco Straws are really intended for breakfast, but I decided to give them to my family as a quick snack, just to top them up before their dinner. I did not feel the straws could sustain them till lunchtime. Coco Straws are a new concept, only placed onto the market this year. The idea is for children to suck the milk from the cereal bowl using the straws, Kellogg’s are aiming for more children to drink milk and gain from its nutritional qualities. I am not quite sure where my loyalties ...  Read the complete review

According to Kellogg's, "Coco Pops Straws are the yummy way to slurp the milk at breakfast, slurp the milk then munch the crisp cereal straw!" The idea is that you suck the milk through the straw and then eat the straw. If you could design a food that had the sole purpose of ruining kid's teeth then this would it. Kellogg's initially tried to advertise this product but the advert was banned after a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority made by the consumer group Which?. Kellogg's Coco Pops Straws TV advert was said to be misleading and socially irresponsible because it marketed a chocolate straw biscuit as a way to get children to drink ...  Read the complete review

As soon as my 2.5 yr old hears anything to do about food she heads in the other direction she will do anything from hiding in the loo to hiding her face just to avaoid eating...yes there are such fussy eaters in the world . There is however one exception (as exception proves the rule)... mention the word cocopop straws and she will come running in even if she is busy playing in the garden. These are some 10" long wafery cereal in the form of sticks with a lining of chocolate inside that act as straws and milk can be sucked up through them. The hole is just wide enough in diameter for a child to suck up a mouthfull without chocking ...  Read the complete review

Coco Pops Straws from Kellogg’s Of course the whole concept of this product is totally ludicrous and I for one wasn’t going to be trying them let along spending out good money for them. However I soon changed my mind when I saw them on special offer in Tesco’s at the ridiculously cheap price of 69p for a whole box. I thought not only would I be able to try them out for a review but also I don’t think you can judge something until you have tried it out for yourself. How wrong I was and I should of stuck to my first impression. They have been in the cupboard at home for quite some time now as I had never really ...  Read the complete review
