South Koreans have waited 16 long years for a savory, crispy bite that would satisfy their taste buds. This week, they finally could fill a bowl with the cereal they wanted all along: green onion-flavored Chex.
Kellogg’s Korea’s limited-edition flavor released this week, complete with a catchy ad and an apology for the wait.
In 2004, the company advertised a public vote for a new product: chocolate-flavored Cheki or green onion-flavored Chaka.
Now both flavors are finally available.
South Korean Twitter has been rejoicing by uploading photos of their Chex. Some, feeling adventurous, sprinkled green onion cereal pieces as garnish on South Korean signature dishes including kimchi and spicy ramen noodles.
Like Americans, South Koreans typically eat their cereal with milk, but some say green onion Chex tastes better alone or with a drink like beer or soju.
It has an onion background taste, reminiscent of onion ring snacks that are popular in Korea.
