Update, 8/7/19: I am pleased to inform you that Pumpkin Spice Frosted Flakes are back. Walmart is currently carrying the stuff, which means not only that you can buy it right this very second, but also that it is official: Autumn is nigh and you can no longer fight it. And while the boxes are already basically sold out online, you've still got a good shot of finding the stuff in-stores. Best of luck to you! And we promise to keep you updated throughout the rest of this pumpkin spice journey.
Original post, 6/19/18: When the fall rolls in, people lose their minds over anything that's mapled, spiced, and nutmeged. We live in a world inundated with pumpkin spice and honestly the only reason we can comfortably let go of summer is knowing there will be that sweet artificial taste everywhere. Apparently our boy Tony the Tiger agrees: Pumpkin Spice Frosted Flakes are hitting shelves this August. Time to C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E.
Met Food Market's Instagram account first reported that the new limited edition cereal would be lining shelves this coming pumpkin spice season.
And food instagrammer Markie Devo first posted his take on the new sugar-coated corn flakes. Upon opening the box, they noted it had a "strong pumpkin spice essence" and before adding milk, that it tasted "very sweet with with a hint of pumpkin puree/cinnamon vibe." Yummmm. The blogger did mention that they weren't loving how diluted the pumpkin spice flakes were with milk. But, as you can guess, the cereal's milk as a result was SO delicious—rating it a 10/10.
Junk Food Mom, another food blogger who gave the new breakfast cereal a try, was obsessed. "Same Sweet delicious Frosted Flakes with a touch of pumpkin spice that’s not overbearing but there in every spoonful. These have rekindled my interest in pumpkin flavored Everything," they captioned. OK, now we need these ASAP.
Remember, there will never come a time where we reach peak pumpkin spice, so it's easier to stop being a pumpkin hater. No news yet on an exact release date, but word on the street is that the new flakes will be here by end of August, so get ready to stock up. Check back for sweet updates.
