Rock-Like Pieces
I can't eat this anymore. It used to be my favorite cereal, but for the past few months there have been hard, rock-like pieces that hurt my teeth! It's like the quality control has gone downhill.

Original Special K - higher protein and less sugar
I love the original and buy it all the time although it's getting harder to find. I want a cereal high in protein with less added sugar and the original Special K has been my go-to for decades. Please make it more available. Your specialty flavors are too sweet and lower in protein.

Rock-like bits
The past two boxes of Special K (original) that we have purchased have hard, rock-like bits in it. I almost chipped a tooth. Why is it different?

I have been eating a bowl of special K original cereal for over 25 years. This morning it had several burned looking pieces of cereal in my box. What’s going on?

Hardly any yogurt pieces!
Hardly any yogurt pieces anymore in the purple box (fruit and yogurt)! Used to be so good, but now it’s mostly just flakes which is disappointing!

Where are the clusters?!
There are literally no fruit and yogurt clusters in this cereal. It is a complete rip off and a joke.

Chipped Tooth
I thought it was the norm to have hard pieces of Special K cereal until I started reading reviews. This is my favorite cereal. Last month I bite down and chipped off part of a tooth. So far no toothache.

Chipped a tooth
I recently purchased a box after not being able to find the original at my local stores. I probably should have known there would be issue. The first time I encountered a rock hard piece of cereal, I brushed it off. The second time I was shocked to find a piece of my tooth along with the rock/pebble. Now I get to have a dental bill just from eating breakfast. Safe to say I won't purchase this cereal again.
