Sour Patch Kids cereal doesn't sound like my thing, or tbh, the internet's as a whole—The Washington Post called it, "kind of a disaster." But now everyone has the opportunity to form their own opinion. Starting Saturday, grocery stores nationwide will carry the sour candy-flavored cereal whether we like it or not.
But just to be clear...
I do not.

Last month, rumors started swirling about a possible Sour Patch Kids cereal. @CandyHunting posted a blurry picture of a box, and while the food Instagram does often get the first scoop on rumored products, people (Delish included) were still skeptical.
While we've seen junk food-inspired cereal before (looking at you, Oreo-O's!), sour candy and cereal seemed like a weird combo. Post wouldn't comment on it back in October, but now, the secret is out, and it's ACTUALLY happening. What a world.
Per a spokesperson for Walmart, Post's Sour Patch Kids cereal will be sold exclusively at Walmart stores beginning December 26. It's like your very own Christmas present, straight from the sour candy gods. The cereal will retail for $3.98 a box, and come June 2019, will be available at major retailers nationwide (find one near you using Post's store locator).
Now, we haven't tasted the cereal yet, so I have no idea what it will taste like. However, according to Post, "the “kid” shaped pieces have a sour coating and a sweet finish that every Sour Patch Kids fan will recognize." I. am. INTRIGUED.
And since the cereal is multi-colored, like the candies, here's hoping it turns your milk into a magical rainbow mixture. Anywho, we'll most certainly update this once we conduct a proper taste test. In the meantime, if you need some more Sour Patch Kids in your life, our SPK Jell-O Shots are always a solid party addition.
