Asda's new product range will bring an American flavour to your breakfast time.
Asda's new product range will bring an American flavour to your breakfast time.
If you like to start your morning with something a little sweeter than a simple slice of toast, then you should definitely hit Asda's shopping aisles.
The supermarkets' new product range includes a range of American-style sweet cereals and easy to make pancakes mixes.
Most of us will recognise some of the items, including Lucky Charms, but if you’re not familiar, the cereal consists of toasted oat pieces, jewelled with multi-coloured sugary marshmallows in various novelty shapes. Perhaps one saved for a weekend treat, rather an everyday staple!
Other cereals in the collection are Marshmallow Mateys; a very similar product to Lucky Charms, and Reese’s Puff, these are chocolate and peanut butter corn puffs inspired by Reese’s peanut butter cups.
You can also buy Kellogg’s Fruit Loops, recognisable by their bright mix of colours. These types of cereals have gained somewhat of a cult following over the years.
Thanks to movies in the 80’s and 90’s where these products were featured, they have been in-demand by UK consumers for decades. We are now seeing a resurgence for American nostalgia with hit shows like Stranger Things; bringing 80’s Americana into modern UK homes.
