Rice Krispies reformulated as rice shortage bites

Original: # ClimateChange has killed Rice Krispies as we knew them. Really Snap and crackle but no pop: Rice Krispies reformulated

Kellogg's has reformulated Rice Krispies and Coco Pops because of a rice shortage, according to a Guardian report. The cereal will still snap and crackle but is said to no longer pop in the same way, and social media users are blaming climate change for changing a familiar breakfast staple.

Why now: A nostalgic everyday product being changed because of a rice shortage linked to climate change gives people a tangible example of climate impacts.
