1. Spelt Flakes (from the econo-bag) add your own raisins (Red Flame if you're flush $$).

So he likes mediocre sweetened cereal. Whatever...

No Cinnamon Life? No Barbara's Bakery Puffins? Bullsh*t, man.

I know. No Capt. Crunch. No Honey Combs. No Cookie Crisp. No independent cereals. This list sucks...

3rd grade was the year I refused to eat any breakfast other than Peanut Butter Captain Crunch.
It is also the year I decided that teeth-brushing was an invention of "The Man" to keep me from enjoying myself.
Completing this trio of 3rd grade events, it is also the year that I got all 6 of my cavities.
Brush your teeth, kids. Especially if you like sugary cereals...

No Frankenberry. No Joe's Os, No Crunchberries. No Honey Nut Cheerios. Seriously.

Count Chocula got me through some difficult times...

Aside from the glaring omission of Cap'n Crunch and Clusters, I think it's a pretty good list. Most of them were staples for me when I was a kid, except for Fruity Pebbles, which I absolutely LOVED, but my parents only bought maybe once or twice (they didn't approve of it for some reason...maybe it was too multicolored and unnatural looking). They'd buy Lucky Charms a lot, which I loved for the marshmallows. Honey Bunches of Oats does not deserve to be numero uno. Cinnamon Toast Crunch does not deserve honorable mention - it doesn't taste at all like its namesake!

Where are the bricks of shredded wheat? Where are the plain cheerios with wheat germ sprinkled on tip? Where are the Post Brand unsweetened raisin bran?
jeez.
I have to admit-- sometimes we would get these cereals on Christmas.

It may or may not be a good list of cereals - but it is a great spark for conversation you must admit.
I liked Quaker™ cereals as my Grandpa used to work for a subsidiary - we used to have a big ceramic Quaker cookie jar that Im convinced the world's best oatmeal cookies came out of. Puffed Wheat, Puffed Rice, Life, Oatmeal, etc.

You sound like you need a hug...

Corn pops.

This morning I awoke at 3:30AM and I ate a bowl of Corn Chex mixed with Honey Nut Cheerios, helped me go back to sleep.

We all need hugs.
This list isn't that good.

We only got sweet cereals for the first and last week of school.
Posted by ConorClockwise on 2008-07-12 06:08:03 +0000
Damn good stuff.

Not tasting like cinnamon toast notwithstanding, still a great cereal.

Fruity Pebbles and Boo Berry were my two faves.
Fruity Pebbles tastes so awesome, you can eat like 7 bowls of it and not even know that your milk has gone bad enough to cause you to vomit the rest of the morning. I've done this twice.

this morning, Golden Grahams.

A damn fine cereal that tastes exactly how it sounds.
