My family was recently sent some samples of the Fruity Cheerios by General Mills to try out. We normally like the plain or honey nut cheerios but we are also fans of sweet fruity cereals such as Fruity Pebbles so I thought this particular cereal would be something we’d like to try.

And the verdict is in: We love them! We’ve eaten 1 1/2 boxes in 2 days. So, yes, they are great and what’s even better is that they have 25% less sugar than the OTHER fruity cereals. You can also taste the corn and oat in Fruity Cheerios which makes it stand out and brings a unique flavor to this cereal.

Overall, our family give this cereal a big thumbs up (from a mom, a dad, and two kids under 7).

And, now for the fun part. YOU can have a chance at trying them out too. I’ve got 10 boxes of Fruity Cheerios to be given away. If you want to try them out and are willing to use them to enter the Modern Mom Family Fun Cheerios Contest our rep will send you a box. All you have to do is try the cereal and enter the Modern Mom Contest (deadline to enter is May 18th,2007).
