Terry McLaurin’s Crunch Time Flakes Cereal: More Fun than a Commanders Game?

It’s Week 14 in the 2023 NFL season and given that this is the Washington Commanders’ bye week, I decided to answer a question as old as the season. Is eating a bowl of Washington Commanders star wide receiver “Scary” Terry McLaurin’s Crunch Time Flakes cereal more enjoyable, healthier and a better way to spend a football Sunday than it would be to actually watch a Washington Commanders game?

Let me get the spoilers out of the way first. The cereal is pretty much Corn Flakes™. Oh, perhaps it’s a touch sweeter than the Kellogg’s cereal, but not as sweet and sugary as something like Frosted Flakes. But the style, look, texture and basic taste? Corn Flakes.

Getting into Crunch Time flakes was easy. I didn’t have to wait to start at a specific time. I didn’t have to figure out what streaming service I might need beforehand. I didn’t have to wait to open the box because a play was under review for fifteen minutes. I didn’t need two hours of pregaming to get into the right mindset. I just opened the box and poured it into a bowl.
