you hate cereal, but eat one of the worst there is when you have a multitude of other ways to get more fiber in your diet ?

 

I like it.

it took months of trial & error to settle on that cereal.   i started off with the really high fiber stuff that tastes like you're eating a bowl of twigs...and worked my way down to frosted mini wheats. my lunch & dinner diets are crap so cereal was my only hope to get some fiber.

raisin bran didn't work ? actually, if you're like me, that's like eating a bowl carter little pills.

When I eat frosted mini wheats, I eat them one square at a time with the frosting side making contact with my tongue!

I'm a fan of cereal. First thing I bought with money I made cutting lawns, i spent on a box of Captain Crunch and a gallon of milk. I had to buy milk and hide the cereal - house with 5 kids. Nothing was safe. My mom bought Grape Nuts and Shredded Wheat. Cheerios if we were lucky.

Grape Nuts. A cereal that no amount of milk will let you eat a bowl of.

I've ate probably 30 different cereals in my life. Capt Crunch has always been the most trash of any of them. If like they've scientifically designed it to get soggy and disgusting in under 30 seconds.

I don't think I've ate it since I was around that age. Never will go back. 

Recently dipped the toes back in. While Fruit Loops are still amazing, they destroy the F out of the inside of your mouth.

Currently we have Honey Nut Cheerios and Raisin Bran in the house. I miss Buckwheats? Maple wheat flakes. They were good.

I saw Quisp in a store, that was my favorite from childhood. We literally begged my mom because we wanted Quisp to beat Quake. I bought it was it was disappointing.

I had raisin bran today... it just sort of... was.... wish I got the raisin bran crunch. I think I tried that once years ago and the texture/consistency of adding the crunch makes or breaks the eating experience imo.

I thought it was me, but the bran flakes seemed really lame.

Well that's why you hate cereal isn't it?   I don't even know what those factory floor wood shavings with a half coating of rat poison are even doing in the cereal section.  They should be sold in aisle 14 at Home Depot.

I'm way past the really old school cereals.  Last time I bought a box of Fruity Pebbles I pooped neon lime green for 2 days.  The only one I still respect from the bunch is the grand pinnacle of sugary cereals, the T-Rex of kiddy breakfast;  Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

 

Nowadays if Im in the mood for cereal it's Honey Bunch of Oats or Special K Red Berries.

The wife likes the red berries and they are pretty good. I'm just glad that Kashi twig fetish cereal crap didn;t last long

 capt crunch is by far the worst when it comes to ripping up the roof of your mouth.

 

 

When I was a kid, I loved this short lived cereal

 

 

 

I feel like my 80s or early 90s short lived cereal was maybe ninja turtles that came with a green pouch of some kind of edible??? ooze/gel in a packet that you could squeeze out. Like wtf

S/Mores were solid.

My wife loves cereal - I can usually take it or leave it.  

It is a good vehicle for banana slices, though.

I typically have 3-4 boxes of cereal above the fridge.  2 healthy but not really healthy, and 2 sugar-filled future root-canal cereals.  Right now we've got Special K Red Berries, Raisin Bran, Corn Pops, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  

I haven't seen anyone mention Cooooooookie Crisp.  

Don't eat cereal much, but when I do I try eat something low in sugar and somewhat healthy 

not a breakfast person in general, and I go through milk unless i need it for cooking or I have some cookies/cake.  But every once in a while when I feel the need to not throw away another carton of milk, i go out and grab some cereal (cap'n crunch, honey combs, or honey bunches of oats)
