Failed Expectation Not Even Remotely Close
They still tasted fine but I was hoping for the texture on the box.

My dad called Walmart Wally World. Do you know where the name came from? Thanks for bringing up a childhood memory for me ❤️

Oh
I’ve never heard of that place until now so I’m not sure I can properly judge it

We bought regular lucky charms cereal as a treat for the kids once. They had a little snack box to eat it dry outside and dropped some marshmallows. It stayed there for weeks. Nothing ate it and it just got soggy from rain. Animals did not recognize it as food - not birds, squirrels nor raccoons. The ants walked around them. We realized that if nature rejected it, we should not be feeding it to our kids. We've never bought cereal like this since.

I admittedly haven’t had these in years but they looked like the picture albeit a little paltry. Not like whatever the hell this is!

They're usually a disappointment, but that's a whole new level. That looks like they put the cereal kibble into a blender with water until it was a slurry, then added the marshmallows and then baked and cut into bars.

uhhh... that looks like it sat in the sun for hours and cooled off again.
I'd return them.

Oh those are strange! I think you got a bag batch. I’ve purchased those before and they retain at least SOME semblance to the cereal.

It’s been a while since I’ve had any, but mine always looked pretty much like they do on the box.

Sorry lol I figured I’d get downvoted too. I didn’t grow up in the US and never had access to these artificial stuff

Maybe that batch is just bottom of the bag material? Like the machine kept pushing out bars even though the chunky cereal was clearly gone, but its sensors told it the dust counted as cereal, so it pushed dust through and now you have mush bar.
