[Radii]

Frosted Mini-Wheats. Dry, as a snack, not for breakfast.

[jeff061]

Crispix. That's pretty much all I eat. It just works for me.

Though I do partake in the Frosted Mini-Wheats on occasion, I guess that would be my "kid's".

[JPhillips]

Frosted Joe's Os

[sabotai]

My favorite "kids" cereal changes a lot. Sometime it's Lucky Charms, sometimes it's Count Chocula, sometimes it's something else.

Healthy: Kashi's Cinnamon Harvest.

Man, I love cereal. My favorite healthy one right now is Kashi Honey Puffs (http://kashi.com/products/kashi_honey_puffs_original). I also like the Honey Almond GoLean Crunch (http://kashi.com/products/golean_crunch_honey_almond_flax).

For kids cereals, I'm a fan of Corn Pops, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, Berry Berry Kix, regular Kix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch...well, all cereals, really. :)

[Sublime 2]

Kashi GoLean Crunch

[Pumpy Tudors]

My favorite is a Lucky Charms knockoff called Marshmallow Mateys. And I don't even like marshmallows.

[MikeVic]

Honey Bunches of Oats with Cinnamon Clusters, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, and Oatmeal Crunch or whatever it's called.

[sabotai]

Glad to see I'm not the only fan of Kashi on this board.

[Buccaneer]

Glad to see I'm not the only fan of Kashi on this board.

Even my 11 yr old son is a fan of Kashi.

[Pyser]

lucky charms
cheerios with sugar

[ISiddiqui]

Even my 11 yr old son is a fan of Kashi.

Healthy and tasty... who can resist?

[Karlifornia]

kids: Men shouldn't be eating sweet things..they don't build character

[jeff061]

Grape Nuts. That shit will build some character. Ugh. False advertising at it's worst.

[Julio Riddols]

Sugary: S'morz or Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[RendeR]

Favorite Cereal?



Umm....YES?


=) I love me some cereal. Unfortunately with my sugar issues I can't partake of a box at a time like I used to ;)

[Taur]

Frankenberry followed closely by Cap'n Crunch.

[Thomkal]

I must still be a kid at heart then cause my favorite is maple and brown sugar frosted mini-wheats.

[Lorena]

Kids - Cap'n Crunch
Healthy - Grape Nuts

[boberot]

Damn, lots of love for Lucky Charms.

Too many "mystery" super-hard bites of something I need to spit out in Lucky Charms. Like once per box. Anyway, my two:

Kids: Count Chocula, by a wide margin
Healthy: Special K with Strawberries

[TCY Junkie]

Kellogg's raisin bran, keeps me from getting headaches.

[Fonzie]

kids: Lucky Charms (with Cinnamon Toast Crunch a close second)
healthy: Frosted Mini-Wheats*






*I can't get enough Frosted Mini-Wheats, but for the love of god can somebody PLEASE get those Kellogg's people to maintain some level of consistency with the amount of frost featured on their mini-wheats? Some boxes contain cereal with barely a whisper of frost, while other boxes have a 1/2" thick layer of rock hard frost.**




**If you're actually going to get those Kellogg's people to do something about this, please ask them to lean towards the 1/2" layer of frost. Thanks.

[-apoc-]

Kids: Count Chocula or Lucky Charms pretty much tied
Healthy: Post Great Grains: Raisin, Dates, and Pecans with slices of banana and some raspberries which I eat regularly for breakfast.

[Oilers9911]

Kids: Count Chocula
Healthy: Frosted Flakes.

Yes, I am a child.

[MrDNA]

Oatmeal. DADGUMIT.

[Danny]

I can't eat lucky charms unless they have soaked in milk for 20 minutes. The marshmallows give me that scratching a chalkboard feel when I bite into them.

[Danny]

Kids: Fruity Pebbles / Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Healthy: Honey Bunches of Oats

Mine too! Though I also like Kix, Cookie Crisp, Applejacks, Special K with Strawberries, Honey Nut Cheerios, Banana Nut Crunch, Oreo O's, Quaker Oatmeal Squares, and Rice Chex

[hawk4669]

Kids: Cap'n Crunch (no crunch berries)

Healthy: Multi-Grain Cheerios

Cheers!

[Mustang]

Kid - Quisp, Life, Golden Grahams

Adult - Any of the Basic 4

[DaddyTorgo]

I don't really do much cereal anymore. I used to love Life. The non-cinnamon kind.

Now if I do cereal it's Raisin Bran (or any knockoff thereoff). Quaker Toasted Oatmeal is also quite tasty.

For dry-snacking, nothing beats Cheerios. Hot damn yes!

I'm curious if anyone's tried the new banana nut cheerios. Seems like it combines a bunch of my favorite things. Could be real good, or a real disaster.

[Butter]

Kids: Golden Grahams
Healthy: Cracklin' Oat Bran (is that even healthy... fuck it, for purposes of this thread it is)

what about Horkin Fiber Chunks??

(credit Dennis Leary)

Because you gotta have goals. Because everybody in this room knows everybody who's quitting. You all have that friend who's quitting it. You know what I mean? The guys quitting it, "I quit smoking. I quit drugs. I quit drinking. I quit meat, and I feel great. I get up in the morning and have a nice big bowl of oat bran. I go to the bathroom for three and a half hours. I have another bowl of oat bran. I go back in the bathroom for six more hours. All I do is eat and shit, I'm gonna live forever! My colon is the strongest muscle in my body right now. I could pass Elvis through my colon right now."

And all these cereals they have, Cracklin' Oat Bran, and Horkin' Fiber Chunks, you know? Cereal used to come with a free prize. Now it comes with a free roll of toilet paper in every box. Guys get up on Sunday morning, "Forget about the New York Times, I'm gonna need the Bible. I got a big one brewing here." "Dad, there's a phone call!" "I'm on Genesis, dammit! You tell 'em to call back after the creation!" People checking their own feces for fiber. You have too much free f'ing time on your hands, ok.

Red meat, white meat, blue meat, meat-o-f'ing-rama. You will eat it. Because not eating meat is a decision. Eating meat is an instinct! Yeah! And I know what it's about. "I don't want to eat the meat because I love the animals. I love the animals." Hey, I love the animals too. I love my doggy. He's so cute. My fluffy little dog.. He's so cute- There's the problem. We only want to save the cute animals, don't we? Yeah. Why don't we just have animal auditions. Line 'em up one by one and interview them individually. "What are you?" "I'm an otter." "And what do you do?" "I swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands." "You're free to go." "And what are you?" "I'm a cow." "Get in the f'ing truck, ok pal!" "But I'm an animal." "You're a baseball glove! Get on that truck!" "I'm an animal, I have rights!" We kill the cows to make jackets out of them and then we kill each other for the jackets we made out of the cows.

You will eat the meat folks, because this country was founded on two things. Meat, and war. You eat enough f'ing meat, you wanna kill somebody. That's the way it works. That was the ultimate American dream. During that Persian Gulf War, I was sitting in my living room, naked, with a can of Budweiser and a three inch steak watching the war, live, on TV. I had a six foot erection with a giant cheese burger on the end of it. I ate so much meat during the war that by the time the war was over three weeks later, I was like, "No no no. We need to keep fighting. Make a couple of stops on our way home from the Persian Gulf. First stop! Vietnam! Surprise the f'k out of those people, huh?" "You make a movie?" "Not this time, pal!"

The wife and I tried it and didn't like it. The kids liked it.

For me, it was just too much psuedo-banana flavoring for a whole bowl. In small amounts, it's ok.

[Mustang]

When I eat Lucky Charms, I eat all the toasted oat cereal bits first and leave all the marshmallows for last.

Either I'm on my own on this one or 90% of you do the same thing.

[DaddyTorgo]

Thanks. Yeah I'd imagine as a whole-bowl I'd prolly barf (and would much rather just use real bananas sliced on top). For snacking-handfuls though...hmm.

[sabotai]

I did that as well.

[MizzouRah]

My mood changes week to week.. but in my usual rotation:

Frosted Flakes
Frosted Mini-Wheats
Fruity Pebbles
Honey Nut Cheerios
Pops
Apple Jacks
Crunch Berries

Oh.. and I'm the only one who loves the Reeces cereal.. so I don't get that as much.

[MizzouRah]

Thanks to my 9 year old daughter, I'm addicted to this cereal:

[RendeR]

Whats my favorite cereal?




umm..





Yes?

[britrock88]

Surprised I haven't put my two cents in already.

Frosted Shredded Wheat, hands down.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I have got to try this.

[CrimsonFox]

I'd have to go with Frosted MiniWheats.

Fruity Pebbles is another thing I'm totally addicted to as well.

[Grover]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Reese's PB Puffs as a dry snack.

Cheerios or Rice Krispies on the healthy side.

[Autumn]

All right, all right, we get it, you like cereal. ;-)

[Autumn]

The only cereal I eat at the moment is Go Lean Crunch. My wife will only buy it at this one store where it's cheap so we usually have a dozen boxes of it on top of the cabinet, which draws some odd comments from visitors.

Where's the dynasty?

[MJ4H]

How I didn't come up with this idea myself I have no idea.

[Passacaglia]

All right, all right, we get it, you like cereal. ;-)

If it were socially acceptable, I would drape myself in cereal!

[MJ4H]

excellent

[Autumn]

If it were socially acceptable, I would drape myself in cereal!

First they will mock you, then they will hate you, but finally they will embrace you. While someone pours milk over you both.

[digamma]

MJ4H's list looks pretty sharp. I might switch Honey Nut Cheerios and Honey Smacks, but that's quibbling.

[Marc Vaughan]

Alpen, Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Crunchy Nut Cornflakes ..... not a huge cereal fan really, prefer toast, muffins or something like that tbh.

[QuikSand]

I am trying to wean myself away from breakfast cereal, but I still have Cheerios in the rotation, as well as Barbara's Shredded Spoonfuls (http://www.barbarasbakery.com/cereals/), which are more or less a healthier variant on Life cereal.

[cuervo72]

If I still ate cereal (I haven't had a bowl in 5 1/2 years), I would probably go with Life (both Cinnamon and regular), Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Oatmeal Crisp - Raisin.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I misread step 3, spent like 6 hours updating my panties, and then I re-read step 3. Shit.

[TRO]

Cereal = good reason to drink milk. I love milk. Especially Shatto (local dairy).

[Julio Riddols]

I'm a big fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, plain Cheerios with a little honey on em, Frosted Shredded Wheat, Ohs, Honey Bunches of Oats (honey or peach), Cinnamon Life, Crunch Berries, Lucky Charms, Pops, Golden Crisp, Trix, and Raisin Bran Crunch. I'll also get into some Chex or Crispix on occasion. The top of my refrigerator usually has 6-10 boxes of cereal on it.

[MJ4H]

I'm stunned that adults eat most of the cereals listed here.

Not a fan of delicious foods? My doctor tells me these "kid" cereals are still good for you, so there is really no reason not to. Yes, they are sugary, but not terribly so.

[cuervo72]

Yeah, HBoO and Raisin Bran Crunch are also good. Even before going all anti-sugar I preferred those over the mega-sugar offerings like Pebbles, Cap'n, etc. Ok, maybe I did have a weakness for Frosted Flakes. But at least there were flakes in there somewhere.

[RendeR]

All right, all right, we get it, you like cereal. ;-)



You know, I had completely forgotten I had already posted =)

[MizzouRah]

I have got to try this.

Box #3 just bought. :eek:

[FBPro]

Fruity Pebbles

[Matthean]

I'm stunned that adults eat most of the cereals listed here.

I actually eat a lot of Raisin Bran these days. Frosted Mini Wheats is a nice sub. Growing up I ate a ton of Lucky Charms to the point it was kind of a joke at school. I even ate the 40 boxes required to get a blueish phone from all of the proof-of-purchases we got from the boxes. Last time I tried it, my stomach felt horrible afterwards.

[molson]

I'm such a slave to convention - I haven't enjoyed any kids' cereals for many years....just because, not even thinking about it. That's all over now. It's gonna be a lucky charms weekend!

But generally, I still love Cheerios, sometimes with bananas.

[StrangeWay]

Boo Berry for me.
