gotta have my pops

one of my favorite cereals (though i haven't eaten it in years) is this:

you may know these delicious sweet and corny cereal bits; they look like this in the states:

so when i saw THIS at the store here in barcelona, i knew 'i gotta have my pops!'

                               what i didn't notice was the enlarged picture of the pieces, but i sure noticed when i poured it into the bowl. instead of the familiar cereal of my early twenties, i was greeted by this:in case you can't see them clearly, they're oblong mealy puffs of not-corn. biting one open and googling led me to discover that they're hollow and have hazelnut flavoring throughout. they're not bad tasting, just pretty disappointing when i was expecting corn pops (the miel pops seemed like an easy translation). i wonder what 'pops' are like in other countries! ;)
