I’ve got to be honest, if/when Post’s Golden Oreo O’s Cereal gets discontinued, I don’t think there will the same upswell of support to bring it back like there was with the original Oreo O’s Cereal after it disappeared from shelves.
Because Oreo > Golden Oreo.
So no Bring Back Golden Oreo O’s Cereal Facebook pages to like that’ll cause your Facebook timeline to suddenly have more junk food and weight loss ads. And there won’t be folks who will buy boxes on eBay from sellers in South Korea.
But, even though I feel that way, it’s a decent breakfast cereal.
The round corn pieces with white sprinkles look like the bleached version of Oreo O’s Cereal. Taking a whiff of the cereal in the bag, it does remind me of the cookies, but its flavor makes me think of another cereal. I can’t put my tongue on what it is, but there’s a part of me that wants to believe it’s C-3PO’s Cereal. That’s probably not the case, and I’m sorry to anyone whose hopes I got up with the previous sentence.
Although I can’t figure out which cereal it’s similar to, its flavor is what I imagine the textbook taste definition of sweet corn-based breakfast cereal would be. It’s a combination of artificial vanilla, sugar, and the sweetness of corn.
Post’s Golden Oreo O’s tastes as much like Nabisco’s Golden Oreo as Post’s Oreo O’s tastes like Nabisco’s Oreo, which means not a whole lot. But I’m fine with that because I’ve been happily filling my bowl with it over the past few days, mindlessly munching on it as I try to figure out what frickin’ cereal it’s like. Some of the sweetness does wash off into the milk, so expect a treat when you slurp it up.
To be honest, much like my position with the cookies, Oreo O’s Cereal > Golden Oreo O’s Cereal. I’m not saying this belongs on a lower tier by any means, but I prefer the chocolate version. It comes in a family-sized box from Walmart, so if you hate it, although I imagine you won’t, it’ll last you for a while.

Pros: The textbook taste definition of sweet corn-based breakfast cereal. Smells like Golden Oreo Cookies in the bag. Sweetness washes off into milk.
Cons: Doesn’t taste Golden Oreo Cookies. Kind of generic cereal flavor. Probably not C-3P0’s Cereal. Can’t figure out what cereal it tastes like.
Does anyone know if the new Wild Berry Fruit Loops will be available nation wide?
And at what stores?
This cereal tastes almost identical to the Cap’n Crunch Sprinkled Donut Crunch.
These, Sprinkled Donut Crunch, Donut Shop Pink Donut, and Unicorn are all interchangeable to me.
Where is this cereal available?
Walmart
My wife said it taste like yellow cake if it was a cereal.
Just discovered Golden Oreo’s cereal and I love it!!! It has to be one of a few cereals that actually taste the way they say it tastes. Hopefully it won’t go ghost, but you know it’s not bark and doesn’t taste bad and God forbid we eat some sugar!!
I’ve never eaten any of this Oreo O’s cereal and probably never will. I like Raisin Brand Crunch, and at least with it I fill as though I’m getting at least some nutrition from it. But this other junk, I don’t know what kind of death squads are creating it and still more death squads are selling it.
That is, I feel as though I getting nutrition, not fill.
