Because the cinnamon is so light, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes with Crispy Cinnamon Basketballs mostly tastes like I’m eating regular Frosted Flakes. That’s not a bad thing, but the cinnamon shouldn’t be difficult to find, like whatever Shaq memorabilia I have in my parent’s house. 

DISCLOSURE: I received a free product sample. Doing so did not influence my review.

Reviewer's rating:  5 out of 10.

Kellogg's sez they're all great.
