This feels VERY out of place, but it is happening and it is a problem. This is a wild ride that is currently unfolding. I will try to return and edit to add further tweets in a spoiler (once I charge my phone). TLDR is Cinnamon Toast Crunch has a HORRIBLE PR response and shellfish allergy and kosher peoples should be very careful. Well now I am following this guy because I'm invested. I am totally grossed out mind you by the shrimp tails, black stuff, and floss but need to hear how this ends

The theory is that the black things are critter droppings and the shrimp tails and other goodies are things the critter collected

CTC USED to be good on vanilla ice cream.
But that was several shrimp tails and a length of floss ago.

And it isn’t some mom & pop store, it is a specific club pack to COSTCO. As a person who worked in this world, yikes for them. Come on in AIB and OSHA.

Seriously, I buy CTC for my kid because he's picky AF and CTC is something he'll reliably eat once in a while. WHAT THE SHIT. *HORK*
Even if it turns out to be someone at COSTCO being a douche, CTC's response is some gaslighting bullshit.

We buy the Wegmans version of almost every cereal. If you have one nearby, their versions are almost identical to the name brands and I know for certain, they make their own and aren’t the same as the name brands.

Ugh. My kid loves to eat CTC at school breakfast. I guess I’ll have to help him learn to identify shrimp tails.

Not sure about the store brands, but Malt-o-meal has their own plant in Northfield, MN. It was quite a lovely smell to wake up to while I was in college.
