Now they’re just reshaped packing peanuts

Holupaminit, I thought this was a figure of speech! They meant "changing weather conditions" literally, as in, the rice grains don't work for them as an ingredient any more due to poor quality? WTF?!

A spokeswoman for Kellogg’s said: “We have updated the Rice Krispies and Coco Pops recipes, which are now made using corn flour and rice flour.

“This recent change helps us maintain consistent quality at a time when changing weather conditions are affecting the quality and availability of some of the rice and grains used in our cereals.

“We appreciate that even small changes to a much-loved product can feel noticeable and that’s why we have approached this with a lot of care and consideration.

How about address climate mitigation with pollution-belching factories and logistics?! 🤯

Yikes

Uh, so what are they now, just sugar and vitamins?

They replaced it with another natural ingredient that fills even more, and that ingredient is wood.

Back to sawdust?

Everything will be corn and you'll like it, god dammit.

The free market has spoken. There just isn't enough demand for rice grains in the rice crispies. It's simple economics.

Oh boy, gluten in another thing I occasionally eat. Fuck yourself, Kelloggs.

So are they going to just call them "Krispies" now?

“It’s the economy, you see? It’s not our fault we have to cut the milk with chalk water again.”

Super ka duper mega, to the max El nino will affect grain throughout the world. I'm assuming that's what's happening.

Strange times to live through when even your goyslop gets a dose of enshittification.

So it's just gonna be "Krispies" now? How are Snap, Crackle, and Pop taking being fired?
