    One Hundred and Twenty Five

    This is the one-hundred and twenty fifth episode of The Empty Bowl, in which we count down the most delicious and despicable new cereals of 2025. This time, our lists diverge more than ever, a cereal company outside of the Big 4 dominates, and a reliably terrible flavor profile continues its reign of terror.
