Kellogg's releases new cereal in UK stores similar to discontinued favourite
Kellogg's Smacks cereal returns with reduced sugar and honey flavor, priced at £2.50, sparking nostalgia for Sugar Puffs discontinued in 2014 amid health reforms.
In 2025, Morrisons began stocking Kellogg's Smacks cereal in the UK, a product that many shoppers say closely resembles the discontinued Sugar Puffs.
Sugar Puffs, a classic cereal produced by Quaker Oats, ceased production in 2014 and were subsequently relaunched as Honey Monster Puffs with a new recipe that lowered the sugar content and enhanced the honey flavor, reflecting government efforts to improve nutritional standards.
Smacks features puffed wheat sweetened with honey and a crunchy texture, and the launch has sparked widespread comparisons online where many recall Sugar Puffs fondly and describe Smacks as nearly identical.
Shoppers commented that Smacks costs about £2.50 per pack and contains 10g of sugar per 30g serving, aligning with efforts to reduce sugar content in children-targeted cereals.
The release of Smacks suggests a renewed demand for nostalgic breakfast cereals, as brands respond to consumer interest by reintroducing products similar to beloved discontinued varieties like Sugar Puffs.
