Cinnamon Toast Crunch launches new flavor
Published: Updated:
But some loyal fans have shown no interest in purchasing the limited-time cereal and are questioning why the 'disgusting' product exists. 'I don't think I could do this one,' a fan admitted on an Instagram post. 'They doing too much ewww not spending a penny on this,' another person commented on a video.
A few social media users admitted they tried the cereal and it did not meet their expectations. 'That bacon burned absolutely horribly because it's literally covered in sugar,' a commenter wrote.
Other fans were furious - not because of the cereal brand's newest product - but because it was sold out, making them claim 'influencers got their hands on them' early. General Mills was inspired to collaborate with Hormel Foods after the company received positive reviews for its limited-time Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored bacon last year.
Both companies had the same goal with this cereal: Rewrite the rules of breakfast. 'Bringing these two iconic breakfast staples and irresistible flavors together gives our fans even more reason why they Must Cinnadust,' said Brandon Tyrrell, senior marketing manager at General Mills.
'After seeing the fan response to last year's collaboration, we knew we had to bring these two breakfast icons back together,' said Aly Sill, senior brand manager at Hormel Foods. 'We're shaking up the way bacon fits into daily routines, and we can't wait for consumers to experience it.'
While the hate was intense on social media, several commenters also enjoyed it, and food blogger Snackolator enjoyed its subtle flavor and 'super smoky' smell. 'Wow these are so delicious I bet my kids would be all over it,' an Instagram user wrote. 'I'm not sure! But I'll always try one thing once!,' another fan responded.
General Mills has a history of surprising fans with unexpected collaborations. Social media users had mixed opinions after Jason and Travis Kelce teamed up with the company to release a new limited-time cereal.
The cereal, a combination of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms and Reese's Puffs, was described as a 'crime against nature' by one X user. Not only is the company known for its unique partnerships, but it also made headlines for quietly discontinuing Cheerios products .

The Beverly Hillbillies legend, 80, is spotted on a VERY rare outing in LA... can you guess who?
This star rose to fame in the 1960s while starring as Betty Jo Bradley on the sitcom Petticoat Junction, which ran for seven seasons on CBS. She was only one of three cast members, along with Edgar Buchanan and Frank Cady, to remain throughout the show's entire run. Petticoat Junction, which was created by Paul Henning, one of the most popular shows of the 1960s. It was part of a trio of hit shows by Henning, including The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres, which all take place in the same fictional world of Hooterville. Her other most notable roles included parts in Rebel Without a Cause, Bus Stop and Gidget. In addition to acting, she was cast as a dancer in the film Bye Bye Birdie and made cameos in High Button Shoes, Brigadoon and The Sound of Music. Can you guess who she is? It's legendary actress and singer Linda Kaye Henning! Earlier this month, the Hollywood veteran, who turned 80 in September, was seen out on a rare sighting as she returned from the vet clinic with her cat. The performer, known for fiery red hair and wholesome beauty, appeared in good health on her latest outing. She has been happily married to actor Leon Ashby Adams since 1994. Her first marriage was to Mike Minor, who played Steve Elliott on Petticoat Junction. The former couple walked down the aisle in 1968, one year after their characters, Betty Jo and Steve, wed on TV. The exes divorced in 1973. Her father was Henning, the television producer and visionary behind The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. She was born on September 16, the same day as her father and is the second child of Paul and Ruth Henning. Her parents met working for a Kansas City radio station. Linda's first TV role was on Mister Ed. In 2024, Linda confirmed to Toluca Lake Magazine that she was living in Studio City and continues to be an active member of her community. In addition to her work at the L.A. Zoo as a docent, she gives back by driving patients to and from treatment as a volunteer with the San Fernando Valley Unit of the American Cancer Society. Linda was inspired by her both own bout with cancer and losing her onscreen mother, Bea Benaderet, to the disease in 1968. While speaking about her upbringing, she told Toluca Lake Magazine: 'I was a very fortunate person; all of us [siblings] were, because we had wonderful parents who as far as I'm concerned had their heads in the right place and cared about people.' She continued: 'I have to say that I am such a fortunate person, because I had the best parents in the world. They were wonderful, and Daddy had this fantastic sense of humor. Almost no matter what was going on, he could come up with a one-liner.'

Former Playboy model Holly Madison steps out with a bandage wrapped around her head in LA
Former Playboy model Holly Madison sparked plastic surgery rumors as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Monday. The 45-year-old Playboy Murders producer-host had a compression bandage wrapped around her head, which are typically worn to manage swelling, bruising, and pain - particularly after surgery or injury. Holly's ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner previously paid for her to undergo rhinoplasty and breast augmentation during their seven-year open relationship (2001-2008), and she recently confessed that she wanted to tighten her jawline. 'I can't think of anything I want surgery for other than like tightening my jawline,' Madison revealed on the June 23rd episode of her podcast Girls Next Level. 'It's not like my jawline sucks or anything. I can just see where it's kind of headed and I kind of want to get ahead of it, so I would like to do that eventually. That's kind of on my wish list.' The Fashion Nova paid partner's belly was stretched after welcoming two children - daughter Rainbow, 12; and son Forest, turning 9 next month - during her five-year marriage to Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella, which ended in 2018 (divorce finalized in 2019). 'I looked like I was pregnant with triplets,' Holly groaned of her second pregnancy. 'I looked like a parody of a pregnant person, so I've got a lot of loose skin a lot of places.' Madison (born Hollin Sue Cullen) continued: 'I would just love if they could figure out some way for like skin tightening or rejuvenation.' The Lethally Blonde host also revealed that the person who injects her Botox recommended that she have C02 laser resurfacing treatment under her eyes. 'It [requires so much] downtime I might do it like right before Christmas,' Holly teased. 'And then [I will] just be like home with family and nobody cares what I look like kind of a thing. He told me to definitely wait until summer's over.' Madison co-hosts Girls Next Level, now in its fourth season, with her former Girls Next Door co-star Bridget Marquardt. Back in 2005, the platinum-blonde pair along with Kendra Wilkinson were paid nothing to star in the 15-episode first season of their E! reality show, which eventually ran for six total seasons. Holly groaned of her second pregnancy: 'I looked like I was pregnant with triplets...I looked like a parody of a pregnant person, so I've got a lot of loose skin a lot of places' The Lethally Blonde star co-hosts Girls Next Level, now in its fourth season, with her former Girls Next Door co-star Bridget Marquardt (L) Holly first moved into the Playboy Mansion in 2001, at age 22, and Hefner went on to control her finances, job opportunities, imposed a strict $1K clothing allowances and 9pm curfews, and pressured her to engage in twice-a-week group sex sessions. 'I definitely thought I was in love with Hef,' Madison recalled in the A&E documentary series Secrets of Playboy in 2022. 'But it was very Stockholm syndrome, very Stockholm syndrome.' The Playboy founder eventually passed away, age 91, in 2017 from sepsis brought on by an E. coli infection. As for her personal life, the Oregon-born beauty ended her on/off six-year relationship with Zak Bagans last March, and she's since accused him of cheating on her with 12 different women.

The Latest: 'Severance' and 'The Studio' lead Emmy nominations
Nominations for the Emmy Awards were revealed Tuesday in Los Angeles. Two categories were announced early on 'CBS Mornings' —the nominees for talk series and reality competition series. Actors Harvey Guillen and Brenda Song later announced other nominees. ' Severance '' leads the nominees with 27, while 'The Studio'' tops the comedy nominations with 23. CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host. The Latest: Kendrick Lamar and 'SNL' earn Emmy nominations Both Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show and the 50th anniversary 'Saturday Night Live' concert earned nominations in the variety special (live) category. They're joined by Netflix's Beyoncé Bowl and rounded out by less musical events: the Oscars and 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special.' Some music documentaries miss Emmy nominations. Questlove's 'Sly Lives!' gets nod It could've been a big year for Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles and the singular composer John Williams in the documentary or nonfiction categories, but they just missed the mark. Though those giants of genre didn't grab nods this year, Questlove's 'Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden Of Black Genius)' documentary did. 'Severance' leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations. 'The Studio' tops comedy with 23 'Severance' leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations, while 'The Studio' tops comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. Need to catch up? Seasons 1 and 2 of 'Severance'' stream on Apple TV+ and would take a total of 15 hours and 29 minutes. 'The Studio' on Apple TV+ has 10 episodes and would take 5 hours and 15 minutes to watch them all. Ashley Walters is a rapper, actor and Emmy nominee Supporting actor in a limited series nominee Ashley Walters first made his name in the U.K. as a rapper in the vast So Solid Crew under the name Asher D — and featured on their iconic hit '21 Seconds' in 2001. But the 'Adolescence' star had been acting since way before that and he's had two long-running roles on either side of the law — as drug dealer Dushane in 'Top Boy' and a police officer in British procedural 'Bulletproof.' Where's 'The White Lotus' ensemble? Don't go looking for the ensemble of 'The White Lotus' in the lead acting categories at the Emmys — they're hanging out in the supporting categories. Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood all get a nod as do Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs and Sam 'monologue' Rockwell. Even Scott Glenn is in the running in the guest category for playing Jim Hollinger. But what happened to BLACKPINK's Lisa, Tayme Thapthimthong or the Ratliff kids — Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola? No love either for Coon's on-screen frenemies, Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb, Rockwell's real-life partner. 'Bridget Jones' is a TV movie? In the U.S., yes. While 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' was distributed theatrically abroad, the latest installment of the Renée Zellweger-starring franchise was directly released on Peacock stateside, making it eligible for the Emmys. How this year's nominees stack up against record holders 'Severance' leads all nominees with 27, but 'Game of Thrones' still holds the record for most nominations for one show in a season — 32, in 2019. The show did break a record for Apple TV+ — previously, 'Ted Lasso' was the streamer's most nominated show for one season, with 21 nominations in 2023. 'The Studio,' though has tied 'The Bear's' 2024 record for comedy series, with 23. Noah Wyle and Adam Scott compete for Emmy No. 1 Noah Wyle and Adam Scott are TV veterans who've never won an Emmy. They're now considered close co-favorites for best actor in a drama after getting nominations — Wyle for 'The Pitt' and Scott for 'Severance.' It's Wyle's sixth nomination. He was up for Emmys five times for playing Dr. John Carter in 'ER' but never won. Now he can get one for playing a very similar character later in life. Scott spent five seasons as a regular on 'Parks and Recreation' but didn't get his first nomination until his starring role on 'Severance.' Does Kathy Bates have a lock on best drama actress? Kathy Bates is considered the runaway front-runner for best actress in a drama. It would be a weird one if she goes on to win for CBS' 'Matlock.' She's the first to be nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, when Viola Davis was nominated for ABC's 'How To Get Away With Murder.' She would be the first woman from a network show to win best actress in a drama since 2015, when Davis won, and the first actor in any drama category to win since 2017, when Sterling K. Brown won for NBC's 'This Is Us.' It's the 15th time Bates has been nominated. She's won twice before. Nominees for talk and reality competition series are released early Two categories were announced early on 'CBS Mornings.' The nominees for talk series are 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,' 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' The nominees for reality competition series are: 'The Amazing Race'; RuPaul's Drag Race'; 'Survivor'; 'Top Chef' and 'The Traitors.'
