Fiber One Caramel Delight is a General Mills cereal. The whole grain wheat squares have a woven pattern on them which reminds your tongue that this is a healthy cereal. (Nothing says “healthy” like a quilted cereal!) The caramel flavoring is slightly weak, tastes more like corn syrup than caramel, but it’s a pleasant taste nonetheless. What isn’t pleasant is the strange slick sensation that coats the roof of your mouth and your tongue while you’re chewing the cereal, which gives the cereal a slight caster oil aftertaste.

The sample boxes did not show this information, but Fiber One Caramel Delight is rated as one of Bob Greene‘s Best Life approved products. Bob is Oprah Winfrey’s personal trainer and fitness guru for her television show. I had no idea that by eating cereal from the Sunday paper I’d inadvertently be promoting Oprah, but I can’t say I’m surprised since she’s everywhere.
