We recently asked our audience to try the new Mahomes Magic Crunch and tell us what they think. The results had us laughing out loud.
Patrick Mahomes is everywhere. From the cover of Madden to appearing on late night television to even partnering to help promote some governmental health care thing, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player is omnipresent at this point.
The latest place you can spot the face of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback at the grocery store, where on store shelves you can find Mahomes Magic Crunch.
Mahomes Magic Crunch is exactly what it sounds like: a breakfast cereal. While there’s nothing marshmallowy or loaded with extra sugar to make it magical, the reality is that Mahomes’s presence alone elevates it to such status—at least per most of our reviewers.
With the emergence of Mahomes new cereal, we thought it would make sense to ask the masses to tell us what they thought. Is it really magical? Are there any special powers gained from consumption? Can you at least improve your no-look passing skills after a bowl or two?
We loved the responses from Chiefs Kingdom, so we thought we’d lay out some of our favorites. It’s also important to note that many people aren’t eating this at all. Instead, it’s akin to having a piece of memorabilia of your favorite athlete—like a Wheaties box with Michael Jordan. So some fans are simply stashing it away for a long time or making money on eBay selling them to fans who live far away from such stores.
For those who have tasted Mahomes Magic Crunch, here are some that made us laugh. First of all, the clear reference point is Frosted Flakes, for better or worse:
Actually I would say pretty decent stuff. Better than Kellogg’s frosted flakes in my opinion. Sorry Tony 🐅

A slightly worse version of OG Frosted Flakes, but let's be honest if they put sugar on hamster droppings with Mahomes on the the box I'm buying three boxes minimum.

From there, we began to laugh at several responses
This one sounds like Uncle Rico ate a bowl from Napoleon Dynamite:
I ate 2 bowls before work and felt like a new man. I felt like I could throw a ball 80 yards. pic.twitter.com/o9w3kd3sUh

We loved the whole narrative wrapped around this one.
Upon picking up the box I smelled the sweet aroma of winning. I then understood amazing as it made my truck look newer. It’s a 2007 model! I braved traffic to get this priceless piece of marketing genius home. Every bite felt like a left handed no look pass to win SuperBowl! pic.twitter.com/nRrtsY3rvW

And of course this one was perfect.
It tastes like a championship season to me.

As for some, we’re still a bit uncomfortable. It sounds like he is, too.
Well, I can’t get rid of this Arrowhead sized boner I’ve had all day so there’s that
