Hi MadCabbit--I tried it. My husband bought me a box to try (Special K used to be my favorite pig-out food, and I love it dearly)--but it's NOT the same in any way. Well, maybe the shape of the flakes is the same, but it tastes very different. It's ok, but not my favorite by any means. I'd rather have a little bowl of Kashi or Fiber One, any day. I wouldn't want to tell him this (he was so happy to find something for me that he thought I could have, and would love), so I will eat it a bit at a time, but it will take me forever to finish the box. It has corn syrup in it, I believe--and it has that funky "sweetish" taste that so many of the lc cereals have. You know that weird aftertaste? Anyway, I wasn't too impressed with it--but you never know until you try. If it didn't have that corn syrup in it I might think it was ok....
