IF one was poor, can they play too ?
it was considered a treat if a box of LIFE arrived for christmas but my cousins (or someone in the family if i remember correctly) got those packs of mini cereal  boxes. of those, I enjoyed applejacks the most. 

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Golden Grahams

Raisin Bran

Cocoa Pebbles 

Fruit Loops

and everything else 

I haven't had a bowl of cereal in over a decade probably. If my wife doesn't make me a hot breakfast she gets the hose.

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.  

same deal on my fridge. (minus any healthy aspect) right now we have honey combs, corn pops, raisin bran & fruity pebbles.

thing is for me, I rarely eat cereal in the morning. mainly at night for a snack.

apple jacks

i could put a hurtin’ on some apple jacks right about now

I used to eat loads of cereal when I was a kid and even into my 20s.  Ish, after I would eat some juicy burgers or steak I would follow it up with a bowl of cereal.  Felt like my body demanded the milk and grains to offset the juices of meat.  I've tried an ish load of them over the years, the more sugary ish when I was a kid and getting into the more healthy ones as I got older.

I recall the Count Chocula, Boo-Berry and Franken-berry cereals when I was still aged in single digits.  Yeah, The Captain.  If you didn't let that ish sit in milk for a while it was like eating stalagmites, puncturing the roof of your mouth.  Though, The Captain with Crunchberries was pretty good.  Of course I'd pick out the F'ing Crunchberries and eat them first.  Cookie Crisp.  Remember F'ing Cookie Crisp?  Frosted Flakes, MFers!  They're Grrrrrrrrreat!  Lucky MFing Charms.  F the cereal and eat the damn colours marshmallows.  Right?  Pink hearts, yellow moons, orange something?, green clovers, blue diamonds and purple F'ing horseshoes (why the F are they purple?).  Fruity Pebbles.  Fruit Loops.  Sugar F'ing Smacks!  Friggin puffed rice coated with copious amounts of sugar.

Here's one, Shredded Wheat.  Break those bricks up into a bowl then drown them in sugar and milk, eat the cereal and then sip most of the milk out and you'd be left with that diabetic coma inducing glucose quicksand you'd snort like crack.  

I graduated to Raisin Bran and Honey Nut Cheerios.  When I got into my 30s and 40s I would look for healthier cereals with interesting flavours.  Banana Nut something, Coconut Vanilla something, etc., with organic cane sugar instead of sugar.  Also switched from regular milk to almond/coconut milk.  

I'm kind of in a mood today.  Had a long rough day and trying to smooth it out with alcohol right now.  So I'm hype up with frayed nerves, but mellowing off the negative high.  But I am a former cereal w h o r e so this thread tickled my fancy.

So by "hose" you mean your 1 inch peen?

pillowcase with a couple oranges in it (no bruises), my friend. I've never burnt another one of Chickie's bowls of jello again since she first 'reeducated me'.

No, she doesn't get rewarded for it. Then I'd never get hot breakfast anymore.

I like this one, phone books are getting harder and harder to come by nowadays.

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.

Same story in my house.  We loved Quisp.

So it has grown ehh?

Just had to go look and see what's in the pantry.  Honey nut cheerios,  cookie crisp, apple jacks, golden grahams, and coco pebbles.  I don't even eat it.  Ukn kids.....

Couldn’t tell you the last time I had cereal. If I’m going to have it it’s something like Frosted Flakes or cheerios with strawberries cut into it. 

damn I forgot about count chocula and booberry cereals. I do find them once in a while but they don't seem to be in constant stock in my area.

Ok sorry tell us about your favorite gruel and porridge.  As far as I know cereal is exactly what poor kids eat, they just tend to buy generic brands instead of Kellog's & post.  If your parents didn't buy you any maybe they were just arseholes?

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.

That's child abuse.  I hope you sought out the help you needed to heal.

Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, and Corn Pops.

Anything with lots of food coloring (as someone referenced earlier) means lots of green crap for days.

If I'm running late, chocolate pop tarts on the go.
