Snap, crackle, pop! Kellogg’s Rice Krispies are back — at a price

Parents who were outraged when Kellogg's SA replaced its original Kellogg’s Rice Krispies with a far sweeter, multigrain version 18 months ago will be happy to know the originals are back — but at a price.

After a massive revolt, the old Rice Krispies are back – but pricier and imported from the UK
Imports of the original Rice Krispies from the UK started last month. “We are importing the product from the UK because we no longer have manufacturing capability to manufacture the product in South Africa.”

According to a Times Live report, a 510g box of imported original Rice Krispies will cost around R70. A 600g box of Vanilla Rice Krispies currently costs R47.99 at Game.

Kellogs, this miserable line in your statement just does not cut it.
Drop the games, bring back the original and make it here again! Are you completely tuned out to the move towards less sugar??? Of course a test panel will like the new rubbish because it is loaded with sugar! What were you thinking?

“Yes, we have listened to our consumers who enjoyed the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Original cereal; we’ve been working behind the scenes and have now relaunched the product in the market,” Kellogg's SA’s head of external relations Zandi Mposelwa told TimesLIVE.

70 buck?! Feck that.

Packaging is crap also.

 

[Geoff.D]

They would not have had to work behind the scenes at all if they had just left well alone. Marketing idiots!

Woke anti sugar culture would just stop consuming it. I wouldn't try it with or without sugar lol.

Clever move on the part of the local manufactor.
"Have to import original"
More profit off the same amount of sales.
Ripping off customers , so typical of local business.
