Quaker Honey Graham Oh's Review

I eat a lot of cereal.  I have a few kinds that I prefer, but I'm definitely open to trying something different.  When I was grocery shopping last week, I noticed Quaker Honey Graham Oh's.  The box looked appealing, and at a price of $1.99 for a 12 oz. box, I figured it was worth a shot.

I tried the cereal for the first time today.  It has a great taste.  I tasted far more honey than graham, but that's fine.  The problem I had was with the texture of the cereal.  Crunchiness is typically considered an attribute when it comes to cereal, but this cereal is crunchy to a ridiculous extent.  I ate two bowls, and the roof of my mouth is still sore hours later.  I also noticed that the cereal only lost about 15% of it's crunchiness from the first bite to the last.

I am a very firm believer in the concept that there's such a thing as too much of a good thing.  If I told you that this cereal starts out very crunchy and retains it's crunchiness after sitting in milk, you would think that's a good thing.  Quaker Honey Graham Oh's is actually too crunchy, though.  In fact, as I was eating the cereal, I was thinking that young children probably shouldn't eat it.  That's a rare statement to make about a cereal, but I'm making it here.  I'm going to give Quaker Honey Graham Oh's a lukewarm recommendation because of it's taste and value, but beware the crunch factor.  Next time, I'm going to try letting it sit in the milk a few minutes before eating it.  That might save my mouth.
