Barbara's Bakery Puffins Cereal, Cinnamon, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Barbara's Bakery hyped the new packaging but neglected to mention that the weight went from 12oz per box to 10 oz per box. I use to purchase a 4 pack of the 12 oz old package for 15.57 and that works out to 32.4 cents per oz. the new price for a 6 pack of the 10 oz box works out to 39 cents per ounce. That's a 20% price hike in a period of low to no inflation. Thanks for the nice new package guys. I much prefer the old package at the old price and will be checking out other cereals with the intent of eliminating cinnamon puffins from my diet.

The cereal also tastes different not as good. I looked at the ingredients and noticed that in both the old and new product there is 150 mg of salt. However, in the old ingredient list cinnamon came before salt. In the new ingredient list it comes after salt. Thus, there is less cinnamon in the new cereal. You can really taste the difference. The old recipe was much tastier. Again, my hat is off to Barbara's Bakery. The price went up and the taste is not nearly as good. Great job guys.

January 20, 2011 Update: I have replaced cinnamon puffins with other cereals. Bring back the old taste which I loved so much and I'll buy again, even at the increased price.

I used to LOVE the cinnamon flavor Puffins. Unfortunately, they did indeed reduce the cinnamon flavor totally different while they changed/reduced the packaging. What a disappointment.

(#1 REVIEWER)Puffin cereals used to be one of my favorites. Cinnamon was my favorites among Puffin cereals.

The new Puffin Cinnamon is not an improvement. The size of each individual cereal was reduced. But it appears they reduced not only the size but the formula of the cereal itself. I don't like the flavor as much, it appears to be sweeter and has less cinnamon. The box size was reduced from 12 oz to 10 oz, thus becoming more expensive per oz.

I am attaching two photos: The first photo shows the new packaging highlighting the reduced size. The second photo show the ingredients and nutritional fact from the side of the box. Puffin calories are shown using a serving size of 2/3 of cup, which is a pretty small portion. The box has 9 of those servings. What I use as a serving is larger. For me each box has 4 servings. I noticed that cinnamon moved down on the ingredient list (when I compared it to the old box), which confirms my taste difference observation.

With the new packaging you get something less tasty for more money per oz. Barbara's Bakery please bring back the old cereal!

I've been eating Barbara's Cinnamon Puffins, and I agree they do not taste as good before they changed the package. Also, I wish they were using organic, non-GMO corn for the price of this cereal!!!

I used to buy these all the time. They tasted great, and I used them as snacks. The cinnamon taste wasn't overbearing, and it was great. It didn't have that overbearing corn taste either.

Then they changed. Why? Money grubbing is one of the ways I would explain it. Why?

1) They changed the size from 12 to 10 oz, like everyone else has done everywhere. (Notice that many major brand colas like coke and pepsi are changing to 1 liter to 1/4 smaller and raised the price. It is important to realize a major factor here. Even though the media and government do not report any inflation, that is because they haved changed the very DEFINITION of inflation. All one has to do is go to the store to see this and the gas station. Look at BASICS like Milk. If people believe there is no "inflation", they just don't buy food. Coffee anyone?

Yes I do not like it, but I see their reasons.

2) They reduced the flavor significantly. Less cinnamon taste, starting to taste more like a corn cereal rather then the original reason I purchased it.

So.... They reduced the amount you get, reduced the quality and primary ingredient you bought it for, and raised the price. That is inexcusable.

Unfortunately, other cereals are doing the same thing, so we have to be VERY careful, read the labels carefully, the cost per ounce, etc. The bottom line also, if the kids don't like it, the price is too high, and you have to buy it more frequently. it is now off my list. I recommend finding other alternatives.
