The Breakfast Cereal Roundup

Post by Adam54 »

Since it's been made apparent Dalty hasn't had the pleasure of eating Fruity Pebbles in his lifetime, I thought it might be fun for both him and us to discuss favorite breakfast cereals, both from now (if you still eat them) and your childhood.

For me, I don't really eat a lot of them anymore since I have no self-control with such things and will eat two or three bowls instead of one, but when I do indulge it's usually with Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Frosted Mini Wheats. Oh, or Honey Bunches of Oats. I think the most recent cereal I went through a lot of was Cracklin' Oat Bran.

But the all time favorite, which they inexplicably don't make anymore, was Oreo-O's. So sweet, so delicious, I miss them more each day.

I eat these every morning with a sliced-up banana on top:

I used to eat Honey Bunches of Oats a lot, but because I eat cereal pretty much every day, I decided to look for a healthier option without corn syrup or genetically modified corn (the one above is granola and doesn't contain corn at all) and with a moderate amount of sugar. For a healthy option, it's actually really good.

They also have a chocolate version with almonds, but I think the sugar content is higher. I get that every once in a while.

The Germans know their granola.

I mostly prefer the classics, and I tend to go generic. I like it when oats are pressed into a torus-like shape and toasted. I like bran flakes. I like corn flakes. I like crisped rice cereal. I like farina.

If we're talkin' childhood favorites, of course, there's this:

You're SUCH a Dalty-troll, Goiter.

Keep up the good work.

I was also a big fan of Crunk 'n' Chronic Crunch.

I used to love Grape-Nuts when I was a kid. I would probably still love them if it weren't for this dental work-filled mouth of mine. These days, I'm terrified to eat anything harder than an apple.

Now I want some grape nuts.

I'm having fun picturing what image "grape-nuts" brings to Dalty's mind.

Looking at the Reese's Puffs box with its kosher label, I realize that, while the candy is off-limits, the *cereal* appears to be milk-free....

Might I recommend Cinnamon Toast Crunch with vanilla almond milk? There are few things better.

Now you are just putting vaguely foodie sounding words together.

I'm incredibly tempted to ship you a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch now. Or Fruity Pebbles. Or a breakfast cereal buffet!

Oh! Good point! I hadn't thought of that. You mean the ones with 5-10 tiny boxes?
