Yesterday, I got a box of Alpha-Bits cereal from the store, opened the box, and was pretty disappointed. They have changed Alpha-Bits.
They made it unsweetened, with the same texture and flavor as Cheerios, and with the educational junk they put on the box about how parents should feed their kids, pretty much turned it into baby food.
WHY?!?

Well, why do YOU think?

Peter:  There's a message in my Alpha-Bits.  It says 'ooooo'!
Brian-the-Dog:  Peter, those are Cheerios.
;D

As long as they turn my Cap'n Crunch into granola with raisins and dates!

Same thing happened to me not that long ago.  I mean WTF?

They're ALPHA BITS for crying out loud.  if I wanted to eat Cherrios, I'd buy a box of those.

A great American product has been desecrated.

crap...I hate when that happens. They always have to go and ruin a good thing. You know what else I hate? When certain restaurants change their signs to live up to the times....like...Pizza Hut for instance, I always liked their little red hut roof logo...now it's all new and modernized...I hate when they do that!! :(



Old Logo...just fine the way it was...

Change isn't always good, sometimes it sucks!!

Exactly. Pizza Hut isn't the same. That's why I always go to the crappy still stuck in 1983 Pizza Hut here in Greensboro. It's not the cleanest and most modenrized Pizza Hut around, but it's real retro and I have many memories there.

Alpha Bits used to be sweet?  I don't remember them being so ???

To me, they were sweet. They had this characteristic taste no other cereal had. That's what I was in the mood for when I got that last box. This is why I'm so disappointed. There's no other cereal that tastes like that.

I thought they were 100% sugar, with a little wheat particles added for flavor.    :)

Otherwise there would have been no "need" to introduce the low-sugar version.  :-X

OK, OK, they changed the red roof, but it's still a red roof.  I mean, as opposed to a Russian Orthodox-style steeple or something.  And hey, just like old times, the service is still incredibly slow, the seats are still uncomomfortable, the salad bar is still a wilted breeding ground of vicious amoebas, they still have rancid Miller Light on tap, the soft drink (both choices--light and dark) are still flat, and the pizza, ahhh, the pizza, no matter what style you choose, it's still saturated in congealed grease and sits in your stomach like a steamship's rusty anchor!

So what R-U gripin' about?
;D

true.  well...to tell you the truth....I never really cared much for their pizza...my little boy likes to go there...but I would prefer other places. I just hate how they have to change things that were ok as they were.

OMG, I'm glad I'm not the only one.  I bought some about two months ago and I was baffled.  I could have sworn that they used to be sweet, but I thought that maybe I was confused.  I'm so glad I saw this thread! ;D

The new Alpha-Bits taste like crap.  All I need is a bottle of piss to wash them down

I don't understand why these cereal companies can't just leave those great tasting cereals alone.  Everything is so health conscious these days.  Look at Cheerios.  Now they got whole grain cheerios, multi-grain cheerios.  What next?  Low sodium fat free no taste Cheerios?  It's like eating drywall for god sakes  ;D

How many Alpha-Bits are ther in an Alpha-Byte?  ;D  :D

Actually, I believe they are made from oats as are Cheerios, same general grassy grain family though.  ;)

Most "sugar cereals" are an oat, rice, or wheat base.  Some people think the over-the-top sugar cereals, such as Froot Loops and Trix, are fabricated from the start in some laboratory in Battle Creek, these folks need to look up the definition of cereal.

They are trying to make cereals more healthier for kids.

Great news!
I saw Alpha-Bits today, and the word "sweetened" was on the box, so I picked it up!
This stuff is pretty good!
Thanks, Post, for re-sweetening Alpha-Bits!

There is a God.

And we now know that He appreciates good breakfast cereal.
