The Breakfast Cereal Roundup
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

The Breakfast Cereal Roundup
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.

Re: The Breakfast Cereal Roundup
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.

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.

Re: The Breakfast Cereal Roundup
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....

Re: The Breakfast Cereal Roundup
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.

Re: The Breakfast Cereal Roundup
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?
