If it’s new and improved, I guess Alpha-Bits is now in beta. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)
Oooh! What’s this new exotic bar from Ghirardelli? Dark Chocolate? Never heard of it. (Spotted by Rachel C at Walgreens.)
This is perfect for all you Mickey Mouse ear biter-offers. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Target.)

10 minutes or 60 seconds? Ugh! So hard to choose! (Spotted by Mike F at Stop & Shop and Tom A at Market Basket.)
At first it’s a little hug, but when you’re trying to get the last of the juice in the pouch that little hug becomes a tight squeeze. (Spotted by John W at Walmart.)
Why does the dessert have to be the middleman? Let’s skip the middleman and put these directly into our mouths. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

Alpha-bit is horrible with the new and improved taste. Make two different kinds if you want to make it with less sugar. You’ve ruined the original taste that everybody loved. Shame on you Post.
I agree 100%. Giant letters with a too soft texture. They’ve lost that hard crunchiness. And they taste terrible too! Post has ruined my favorite cereal.
This new version of Alpha Bits contains wheat flour which it did not a few months back. This kills all taste and takes this cereal off the table for anyone with wheat allergies. The cereal used to contain only oats and corn.
I have eaten Alpha Bits nearly every single day for the last 3 years. Now this “New & Improved” version. They just lost a customer of 365 boxes per year unless they get some damn quality control. This may be new, but it is NOT an improvement.
