(If you've never had pickled mango before ... THANK ME LATER.) Built's "Puff Protein Bars" that are basically chocolate-covered marshmallows that also, by some witchcraft, have 17 entire grams of protein in them?? And NO weird aftertaste.

This sunrise alarm and sound machine works overtime as a touch-controlled smart light, bedtime reading light, and even a wind-down light that helps you get into a healthier sleep routine at night and a much more calm, gradually soothing wake-up in the morning. Other bedside lamps could truly never. A cheery little "Buttercup" butter maker so you can make delicious butter in less than five (!!) minutes and enter a cottagecore era unlike any you've ever known. Time to impress your friends by gifting them with small batch butters in garlic, honey, truffle, and all kiiiinds of flavors you haven't even fathomed yet. A set of reviewer-beloved chocolate bar molds for anyone who dreams of DIY-ing their ultimate dessert. These are great for mix-ins like nuts and cereal, but also have enough depth for you to add fillings like peanut butter, jam, and caramel. Teeccino, the MVP of all coffee lovers who love sleep even more — this caffeine-free, acid-free strong herbal blend steeps like regular tea, but somehow mimics the taste of coffee so brilliantly that you'll get all the flavor and satisfaction without of a late night cuppa any of the insomnia.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch introduces a wild new flavor
As people push toward healthier breakfast options, you might think indulging in sugar-laden cereals is increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Don't underestimate the power of nostalgia, however - more of us miss the irresistible combo of cereal and Saturday morning cartoons than you might think. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The global breakfast cereal market is not only doing just fine, but it's predicted to grow impressively in the next decade. It held a $65.25 billion market value in 2024, and it's projected to hit $95.32 billion by 2032, per Market Research Intellect. Related: Beloved grocery store staple about to get a major price hike With that said, consumers have made it clear they want more nutrition from cereal. It's why you're seeing a lot of brands advertising protein, as more health-conscious customers are seeking it. High-fiber and low-sugar cereals are also gaining popularity. Cereal makers have begun to pivot further into those spaces as well, and it's working to get consumers to buy more of it. But what do you do when your customer still isn't intrigued, despite all the promises to make their cereal experience healthier? You pull out a trick the fast-food industry knows all too well: make it weird. In 2024, General Mills pulled out a fairly unexpected collaboration with Hormel. That collab was called Hormel Black Label Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored thick cut bacon. While it sounds like a heart attack in a pan, this bacon was clearly popular with consumers, as a year later, it's still for sale in select stores. Apparently some people love that candied bacon vibe (and it is delicious, so we can't blame them). Based on the success of that product, now the two companies are collaborating again for a new item: Black Label Hormel-flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Related: Popular Krispy Kreme donut returns after 6 years, but only for one day General Mills Senior Marketing Manager Brandon Tyrrell pulled off an admirable new catchphrase to celebrate the launch of the cereal, saying, "Bringing these two iconic breakfast staples and irresistible flavors together gives our fans even more reason why they Must Cinnadust." The new limited-edition cereal is exclusive to Walmart, goes on sale July 8, and will retail for $5.84 a box. General Mills did not specify how long it will be for sale. The brand also posted a video on Instagram to promote the new cereal, showing a woman eating it out of a bowl made of bacon. This is not the first time Cinnamon Toast Crunch has collaborated with another brand that seems unexpected. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Totino's Pizza flavor made its debut in January as a Super Bowl promotional item, served in packaging inspired by a pizza delivery box. However, it wasn't designed for grocery store shelves. Instead, General Mills limited it to a free giveaway on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shop. You can now find these sitting on eBay, with some priced as high as $100. Significantly less weird but also new to the Cinnamon Toast Brunch brand family is a tres leches flavor, which is based on the classic Latin American dessert of the same name. So if you aren't into the idea of bacon-flavored breakfast cereal, you can always fall back on something that pairs a little better with milk.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Confirms the Cereal Squares are Eating Each Other
Help uncover "The Last Square" for a chance to win a year's supply of Cinnamon Toast Crunch MINNEAPOLIS, June 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cinnamon Toast Crunch has always embraced the absurd. But what's happening right now is more than just absurd — it's unheard of. In an unexpected turn of breakfast events, the crunchy, swirly Cinnadust-covered cereal squares are eating each other. Notorious for their rowdy, chomp-happy behavior, the squares are spiraling further out of control than ever before, and we're still uncovering how far it's gone. Turns out, when something tastes this good, it can lead to… unexpected consequences. There have been reports of mysterious occurrences: muffled crunching from behind pantry doors, swirls of loose Cinnadust, and sealed boxes with just one lone square inside. The chaos escalated when content creators began receiving sealed boxes containing a single surviving cereal square and cryptic clues, fueling speculation and playful sleuthing across social media. After launching an internal search, we traced the source to a limited run where some Cinna-Squares seem to have snacked their way through the rest of the box. We're calling each of these lone pieces of cereal "The Last Square." "Look, we're surprised but not sure the cereal is really to blame here," shares Brandon Tyrrell, Sr. Marketing Communications Manager at General Mills. "Still, this bizarre (but undeniably delicious) development has forced us to act. We're running out of time — and cereal — and we need your help." Cinnamon Toast Crunch is asking our biggest fans to visit to join the search to find these rogue boxes. You can opt in for a chance to get your own box and if yours contains "The Last Square," you'll be eligible to redeem it for a full year's supply of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to help us contain the cinnamon-y chaos. Check out @cinnamontoastcrunch on social for updates, theories and exactly how the squares lost control. And in the meantime, keep an ear out. If you hear crunching… it might already be too late.
