A box of French Toast Crunch

French Toast Crunch is a breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills. It was first introduced in 1996 and is known for its unique shape and flavor, which mimics the taste of French toast. The cereal pieces are shaped like miniature slices of toast and are coated with a sweet, cinnamon-flavored sugar.

History[edit | edit source]

French Toast Crunch was launched in 1996 as a spin-off of the popular Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. It was initially well-received due to its distinctive flavor and nostalgic appeal. However, in 2006, General Mills discontinued the cereal in the United States, citing a shift in consumer preferences.

In response to consumer demand and a strong online fan base, General Mills reintroduced French Toast Crunch to the U.S. market in 2014. The relaunch was met with enthusiasm from fans who had missed the cereal's unique taste and texture.

Ingredients and Nutrition[edit | edit source]

French Toast Crunch is made from whole grain corn, sugar, corn syrup, and a blend of spices that give it its signature French toast flavor. The cereal is fortified with vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and vitamin D.

Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]

A typical serving of French Toast Crunch contains approximately 120 calories, 3 grams of fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein. It is also a source of dietary fiber and contains added vitamins and minerals.

Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]

French Toast Crunch has developed a cult following over the years, with many fans expressing nostalgia for the cereal on social media and online forums. Its reintroduction in 2014 was largely driven by consumer demand and the power of online petitions.

The cereal is often associated with the 1990s and early 2000s, a period when many unique and innovative cereals were introduced to the market. French Toast Crunch is frequently mentioned in discussions about "nostalgia marketing" and the revival of discontinued products.
