What's your favorite cereal?
I'm bored with my regular choices (raisin bran, honey nut cheerios, captain crunch)...

Suggestions?

1. Post Toasties
Edited on Mon Jun-16-08 04:48 PM by BurtWorm
Do they still make those?

How about Crispy Critters? Rice Krinkles?

2. Lately I've been digging this generic choclate/vanilla granola cluster cereal I picked up.
But my standard answer is Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Count Chocula. (Vampire themed cereal = unfuckwithable.)

5. Hahaha... Count Chocula was my all time favorite as a kid.
As a result, I'm burned on it. :(

I'm thinking maybe Honeycomb.

9. Is it real banana flavor in that?
Cause ever since dentists' offices started using that banana flavored whatever it is... fake banana flavor is tinged with trauma. It's ruined banana now-or-laters for me forever. :(

25. Well I don't think that
they've starting making fake banana chips yet, so I'll try it!

I like cutting up fresh bananas and putting those in raisin bran. Mmmmm...

21. It's a bit pricey for my tastes, but when it's on sale, I pick up a box
Once in a while they have a buy one get one free sale and %50 off is my kind of bargain.

Glad you have WIC - it's a great program. :hi:

It's so delicious and crunchy, and you can get it at CostCo!

I never remember the name of it though, and call it Optimus Prime.

32. The trick...
...is to pour the milk over them, and then let them sit for a few minutes before you start eating them. Softens them up just enough, and it's cereal perfection. :9

34. Do multiple cereals
use three or four different cereals in the same bowl. For example, a couple of Shredded Wheat, Frosted Flakes and All Bran. Top generously with raisins.

40. Peace Cereal's Maple Nut Clusters
It's really yummy.

Trader Joe's used to make a good cheaper knockoff of it, but then they added dairy because they're lame, so I'm back to paying full price.
