Favorite Cereal?

I think it comes and goes depending on the part of the year. For a long time, I was huge into Frosted Flakes and Wheaties. Then it was Frosted Cheerios, but then they went away for a while. Then I got hooked back on Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles, which are pretty much just pure sugar and can't be good for you.

Lately, I've picked up on Honey Bunches of Oats, but they leave an awkward sinking feeling in my stomach. Then I found the joy of Frosted Cherrios again in the store Monday and had them this morning. Incredible.

 

I was making my pasta from a bag this evening, and while the sauce was simmering, I took a handful of Golden Grahams, shoved them in my mouth and filled it with milk. It was like a shot of cereal. I might do that each morning while I'm racing to work.

 

I forgot to add my new favorite: Kashi oat flakes with blueberry clusters...

 

I think I'm a touch lactose intolerant (if there is such a condition), so cereal doesn't sit well with me. Well, the milk doesn't, at least.

 

I'm a Cherrios guy now. But gotta tell two little anecdotes:

1. Anyone remember Quisp? It came out with Quake in the late 1960's. They both lasted a few years -- with Quake dying first -- and then Quisp went underground and was sold under a different name. But Quisp came back a few years ago and is sold at some select stores. (www.quisp.com) Sickeningly sweet, and therefore delicious.

2. I remember flying with a nasty cold one time, thus clogging my ears. The next morning I had a bowl of Cap'n Crunch. Everytime I took a bite of the stuff, it sounded like bombs were going off in my head. Kids, don't try this at home.

 

I picked up a bag of Choc-Colossal Crunch and it's pretty damn good. It's basically a mix of Captain Crunch and Coco Puffs. It's not too sweet, has a good crunch and you get the chocolate milk at the end because of the chocolate puffs. Oh, and it's cheap because it's a bag from Malt-0-meal.

 

Two from the 70s that are long gone.
Buc-Wheats, from General Mills, was Wheaties with a maple glaze (not as bad as it sounds).
There was a Chex cereal that was frosted with powdered sugar and had a tie in with Casper the Friendly Ghost.
On a non-cereal note, Pillsbury, had a round swirl pastry that you toasted, then put on the frosting, a pre-Toaster Strudel.
I lost a loose tooth on one of those suckers back in 1975. But they were great.

 

FROSTED FLAKES.
'end this damn thread. now.

 

I'm a die-hard Cracklin Oat Bran guy -- though I rarely bother with the milk or the bowl -- and I'm having a hard time finding it these days.

 

I've eaten a entire box of Smacks in one sitting ... it's a miracle I've still got all my teeth.

Favorites: CTC, Frosted Cheerios, Smacks, Fruity Pebbles, Wheaties

Dislikes: Anything with raisins

 

I know I already mentioned this earlier, but I still cannot get enough of my Boo Berry!!!

I was so pissed today when I went to my cabinet and saw an empty box of it sitting there. It appears that when my 7-year-old niece spent the weekend with us she decided to wipe out the entire unopened box of the stuff as breakfast and snack.

The little devil. She's lucky it was her birthday!

 

The Crack Cocaine of Cereals.

Should be outlawed.
