Kellogg's releases new Smacks cereal spotted in Morrisons
Kellogg's is known for a range of different cereal brands, including Corn Flakes, Coco Pops, Frosties, and Crunchy Nut. Now, shoppers have spotted new Kellogg's Smacks in Morrisons stores across the UK. The cereal, which is already available in the US, has been described as the "perfect breakfast" and is made from "delicious wheat and the sweet taste of honey". Kellogg's Smacks are available to buy now on Morrisons supermarkets across the UK. (Image: Kellogg's) Shoppers compare new Kellogg's cereal to discontinued favourite Kellogg's new Smacks cereal has already drawn comparisons to a discontinued favourite - Sugar Puffs. Sugar Puffs, made by Quaker Oats, were discontinued back in 2014, before being rebranded as Honey Monster Puffs. The new rebranded cereal featured a new recipe with less sugar and more honey. Discontinued UK sweets and chocolates Shoppers have taken to social media to share their excitement about the similarities between the two cereals. Commenting on a Facebook post by Snack Reviews about the new Kellogg's Smacks, one shopper said: "Omg sugar puffs! Literally love them!" Another added: "Hopefully taste like they old sugar puffs before the lowered the sugar amount." A third person posted: "I need to go get a few boxes , I love these , used to have them in Spain." While this person commented: "I brought these back from Paris coz they were the nearest thing to sugar puffs I've ever tried, Amazing, hopefully they stick around." Discontinued products that have made a comeback in 2025 Several discontinued Kellogg's cereals have already made a comeback in 2025. Back in May, Coco Pops Straws and Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws returned to UK shelves (at B&M) for the first time since they were discontinued 15 years ago. Both products were initially launched by Kellogg's back in 2005 before being discontinued in 2010. RECOMMENDED READING: A range of other discontinued products have also made a comeback in 2025, including: Kellogg's Smacks are available to buy now in Morrisons supermarkets across the UK for £2.50.

US Kellogg's cereal similar to axed favourite spotted in major UK supermarket
The discontinued cereal was pulled from store shelves in 2014. Kellogg's cereals are a staple in many households. Offering everything for adults and kids, it's difficult to find one that we don't like. One that is popular in the US has travelled across the pond to the UK for the first time, and it is being compared to a fan-favourite that was axed from shelves over a decade ago. Shoppers have spotted the brand's packs of Kellogg's Smacks on shelves at a Morrisons supermarket, with a 330g box being priced at £2.50. A classic in the States, the puff wheat cereal boasts a classic crunchy texture and a honey-sweet taste. Since it is already sweetened, it does not need any extra sugar added for taste. However, on the Facebook Group Snack Reviews, where it was first posted last week, members have commented it seems as though it will taste very similar to Sugar Puffs that underwent an overhaul in 2014. Sharing their thoughts, one member said: "Basically Sugar Puffs then lol." Another agreed: "Definitely Sugar Puffs!!" Echoing the same sentiment, a third wrote: "They'll always be Sugar Puffs to me. They're puffed wheat and sugar." Even better, Morrisons has confirmed to the Daily Record that the US Kellogg's cereal can be found in 300 stores for the next two weeks. After a fortnight, they will be rolled out to all 419. Speaking of the cereal's appearance in UK stores, spokesperson for Kellanova, the company which owns Kellogg's, said: ''As shoppers have started to notice, our Smacks cereal is back for a limited time only. "On shelves in a select number of stores, the treat cereal is only making a brief return and once it's gone, it's gone!'' Sugar Puffs, made by Quaker Oats, was a popular UK cereal that first launched in 1957, although it was pulled off shelves and had to be rebranded in 2014 as Honey Monster Puffs. It came after the cereal underwent a recipe change after the government began to crack down on the sugar content of food products that were marketed towards children. The new recipe was adjusted to reduce the sugar content by 8 per cent and increase the honey content by 20 per cent compared to the original cereal. News of the cereal being spotted at Morrisons in the UK comes after Mars Wrigley brought back the nostalgic White Maltesers to stores earlier this year for the first time in 11 years. Axed back in 2014, the white chocolate version of the airy and crunchy chocolate bites officially made their comeback to supermarkets and retailers from June 16. That's not all, as the beloved Milky Way Crispy Rolls, which were discontinued in 2022, officially returned to store shelves in February, with two new flavours now available - Bounty and Twix. Kellogg's Smacks (330g) are now available in 300 Morrisons stores for the next two weeks before being rolled out to all 419.

Shoppers have spotted packs of Kellogg's Smacks on shelves at Morrisons for £2.50. 1 A savvy shopper spotted the new cereal on shelves at Morrisons for £2.50 a pack Credit: Snack Reviews The sweetened puff wheat cereal is already popular in the US but it's now made it across the pond. It's described as a classic crunchy breakfast cereal with a honey-sweet taste. But shoppers have also pointed out that it looks very similar to a popular discontinued cereal. A picture of the new cereal was shared on the Facebook group Snack Reviews and hundreds of people were commenting on it. Lots of commenters said how similar the new product looked to Sugar Puffs, which were discontinued in 2014. "Basically sugar puffs then lol," one person said. Another wrote: "Definitely sugar puffs!!" A third added: "They'll always be sugar puffs to me. They're puffed wheat and sugar." Sugar Puffs, which were made by Quaker Oats, were rebranded as Honey Monster Puffs with a new reformulated recipe. The new recipe had less sugar and more honey than the original Sugar Puffs. Rice Krispies brings back 'most requested' flavor for first time in 20 years – but fans will notice a big switch It came as the Government aimed to crack down on sugar content in foods marketed at children. Sugar Puffs had been around for 60 years before they were rebranded. Discontinued items that have made a comeback Brands have started a trend of bringing back popular discontinued items recently. One that got shoppers buzzing was the comeback of White Malteasers, which had been off shelves for 11 years. Customers can now buy a 30g pack for £1.05, 74g pack for £2.50 or a larger 126g sharing bag for £2.95. Meanwhile snack fans have spotted another chocolatey treat on supermarket shelves that's similar to a discontinued Cadbury product. The new Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls are said to resemble Cadbury Tasters, which first launched in 1996. Plus, the nostalgic alcopop Bacardi Breezer has also made a return to stores after being axed in 2015. The fruity alcopops were once a rite of passage for teenagers having their first alcoholic drinks or going clubbing for the first time.
