On Reddit, there was speculation that Magic Spoon may be replacing Catalina Crunch, which has been phasing out over 2023. An April post in r/Costco claimed a “local admin” confirmed that it was gone from every store in the Mideast region. However, it is still available on the Business Center website (you know about the Costco Business Center, right?), but not on the regular Costco wholesale website.
Based on sentiments in the comment section of the Magic Spoon announcement thread, there are mixed feelings about this possibility. Magic Spoon has a die-hard fan base, and some folks are thrilled about the potential trade. One commenter said, “Thank God. Catalina Crunch is so macro-friendly but low-key awful to eat.” The OP unaffectionately called it “Cinnamon Cardboard Crunch.” Plenty of Redditors are thrilled at the prospect of picking up a bigger box of Magic Spoon at a discount.
Others, though, are not so impressed by Magic Spoon: “Of all the weird sugar-free mad scientist experiment alternative keto foods I’ve tried this one takes the cake as being the worst. I found it to have a very unpleasant artificial taste and an odd texture,” one commenter wrote. The potential phasing-out of Catalina Crunch has not been officially confirmed, so there may still be time to stock up if it’s your high-protein, keto-friendly cereal of choice. For Magic Spoon-loving Costco shoppers, the special bigger box might offer even more of an incentive to stock up.
