I love cereal, which is weird because I hate milk and never drink it, but I like it in cereal. Also, I don't like cereal for breakfast, but instead as a midafternoon snack.

s: Chex, Life, Honey Bunches of Oats (w/Almonds), Bran Flakes, Grape Nuts.
d: Lucky Charms, Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes, most kiddy cereals.

I can't find any of the wonderful monster cereals like Count Chocula anymore, so I will have to go with Cocoa Krispies. I sneer at your healthy cereal choices! Give me a cereal loaded with sugar and chocolate, I accept nothing less.

Marshmallow Safari roXor u r all gay.

I have found the ghetto bagged fancy-cereal analogues to be all-around excellent but Mrshmllw Sfri is the shit. I think I have posted extensively about this before but... the little oat chunk things are much crunchier than in Lucky Charms (the posh equivalent) and the marshmallows are not quite as wave-of-insulin sweet. Also it has a safari theme which is imperialist in a different and more entertaining way than LC's tired Irish-sploitation.

Suzy, I never took the tour, not even in school. However, I did briefly work for a woman who was opening a (turns out short-lived) downtown Mpls restaurant who'd been "Betty Crocker" for awhile.

Oh I'm not calling you a liar, I'm not that rude (well, I can be but not now) Sorry if you got the wrong impression. I thought you meant that she had been the face of Betty crocker.

I see what she was doing there though.

I work for her myself you see.

My favorite cheap German Cinnamon Toast Crunch/Cinnamon Grahams substitute is called Zimties, which is tastier if you pronounce it improperly.

Lucky Charms is awful. I remembered it as good, and so I bought some last summer when my GF went away. I couldn't eat two spoonfuls.

I swear, I swear, when I was a kid, there was a bag in the cereal aisle of marshmallows only by the cheapo generic bagged cereals. IIRC they were called "Cereal Toppers" or something like that, conveying they weren't meant for just eating straight. I wanted to buy some for my sister for her birthday, but that was several months later, and the store no onger sold them. I was pretty obsessed with checking for them at every new grocery store and I never found them. This was probably 17-20 years ago.

~~fascinating tales~~

Do they still sell the 8-packs of mini-cereal boxes which have perforated sides so you can pour milk in and eat the cereal right out of the box?

four years pass...

Something about the times we're living in has made me want to try some new cereals I haven't had before. So I've been browsing the aisles lately, scoping out the cereal scene. (The thing I notice most is that every popular cereal now has a number of spin-off flavor varieties. Seems kinda lame tbh). Anyway I've taken a chance on these:

All-Bran Buds (Kellogg's): This is an adult cereal. More to the point it's adult in the contemporary sense, i.e. for ages 50 and older. It contains an incredible amount of fiber, and actually a lightly sweet taste that is very pleasing. Just a small quantity of it really fills me up. Probably a good choice if your goal is to have a decent adult poo.

Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries (Quaker Oats): I like this a lot. I've always respected the Cap'n Crunch line of cereals, and while this one offers absolutely nothing of nutritional value, I know there are times when all you want is a blast of refined carbs. So this is that.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch (General Mills): Purportedly one of the top selling cereals in America, this '80s era product is something I've somehow managed to avoid for decades. Eh.... it's fine, but I can't imagine looking forward to eating a bowl of this. Like why not make actual cinnamon toast?

Other cereal-related thoughts:

*Was disappointed to hear that Product 19 was discontinued about five years ago. That was quite flavorful, a serious flake.
*It seems that Quisp has become a legendary cereal that many people pine for. It's one of those strange products that appears on the shelves only periodically; no one knows when or where it will show up. Anyone here tried it?

Re: Cap'n Crunch

"I know there are times when all you want is a blast of refined carbs..." and the risk of carving a gash into your upper pallette with every chomp.

Hideous Lump, Friday, 11 March 2022 08:07 (two years ago) link

Knowning that most cereals are far from nutritious, I try to stick with the marginally-better high fiber & protein cereals. But every time I try one of those off-brand "natural" cereals, they are inevitably awful.

Except Kashi--I've liked pretty much every one I've tried.

Hideous Lump, Friday, 11 March 2022 08:17 (two years ago) link

My favorite cereal used to be Cracklin' Oat Bran, but then they went and changed the recipe. Now it doesn't absord as much milk as it used to, so it's like chewing through wood chips. They tried to improve perfection and screwed themselves.

Can't go wrong with Honey Bunches of Oats.

Sam Weller, Friday, 11 March 2022 08:35 (two years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Honey Bunches of Oats (Post): Let's ignore the ridiculous, borderline offensive name. I have to say, this is a good flake, and augmented with almonds it's almost irresistible. It's got a considerable amount of sugar - though less than Honey Nut Cheerios, which would be a fair product to compare it to. I could see keeping this in my cupboard.
