Cereal buffs will agree that Liquid Cereal is the next best thing happening to their favorite flakes, or so says the product's inventor, Brain Twist CEO and founder Larry Trachtenbroit, who uses a patent-pending process to create the smooth Liquid Cereal blend. Debuting in colorful and flavorful Fruit, Apple & Cinnamon, Peanut Butter and Chocolate flavors, the 11-oz, shelf-stable Liquid Cereal cans are sold in four-packs.
"Our new beverages package the great taste and timeless appeal of cereal and milk with innovation and convenience that people can enjoy anytime of day," says Trachtenbroit. "We expect Liquid Cereal to be the recipe for an instant classic. It is delicious and costs the same as a bowl of cereal and is lower in calories and higher in protein."
