The free market has spoken. There just isn't enough demand for rice grains in the rice crispies. It's simple economics.

Super ka duper mega, to the max El nino will affect grain throughout the world. I'm assuming that's what's happening.

A spokeswoman for Kellogg’s said: “We have updated the Rice Krispies and Coco Pops recipes, which are now made using corn flour and rice flour.

“This recent change helps us maintain consistent quality at a time when changing weather conditions are affecting the quality and availability of some of the rice and grains used in our cereals.

“We appreciate that even small changes to a much-loved product can feel noticeable and that’s why we have approached this with a lot of care and consideration.

How about address climate mitigation with pollution-belching factories and logistics?! 🤯

Back to sawdust?

Holupaminit, I thought this was a figure of speech! They meant "changing weather conditions" literally, as in, the rice grains don't work for them as an ingredient any more due to poor quality? WTF?!

They replaced it with another natural ingredient that fills even more, and that ingredient is wood.

Now they’re just reshaped packing peanuts

Everything will be corn and you'll like it, god dammit.

Uh, so what are they now, just sugar and vitamins?

Oh boy, gluten in another thing I occasionally eat. Fuck yourself, Kelloggs.

Yikes

“It’s the economy, you see? It’s not our fault we have to cut the milk with chalk water again.”

So are they going to just call them "Krispies" now?
