Attack of the bored: Favorite Cereal?

The3DGuy · Aug 2005

As i sit here bored and eating a bowl of cereal, i ask you...

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?

My all time fav was Kelloge's Product 19, but they stopped making it i think. so i have moved on to Post Toasties.

Rhinokey · Aug 2005

golden grahams, no contest

aesir · Aug 2005

Man, I fucking LOVED this cereal called "Just Right." I cant find that shit anywhere anymore though... Tasted so damn good..

oXYnary · Aug 2005

Nutty Granola Bulk with Apple Juice.

PaK · Aug 2005

No Shreddies in America. It's teh reason i don't eat cereal here cuz honestly it's the only one that's both tasty and healthy to me.

If anyone knows whereto find shreddies in teh bay area lemme know.

r13 · Aug 2005

your momma's choco o's.

flaagan · Aug 2005

that's a toughy.. i havent ate cereal in ages (usually a bagel and coffee for me over that past few years), bust i still love honey nut cheerios!

MoP · Aug 2005

Cinnamon Grahams are realllllly tasty, but I can't eat a lot of them or I start to feel weird.

Lucky Charms are awesome!

Weiser_Cain · Aug 2005

I hate cereal.

Sett · Aug 2005

I grew up eating Sheddies. My mom wouldn't buy the sugary cereals.

Honey Nut Cheerio's goddamm that stuff is pure crack! If there is some milk left in the bowl I'd fill fill the rest with HNC and start eaten' again.

ElysiumGX · Aug 2005

Frosted Mini-Wheats or Honey Nut Cheerios. I mix in others now and then so I don't get bored of my favs. Fruity Peebles when I'm feeling crazy.

PfhorRunner · Aug 2005

Big Glass of Orange Juice and a muffin for me... Cereal just doesn't cut it.

Rwolf · Aug 2005

I need some Rasin Bran! (handen't had that in ages)

danr · Aug 2005

do Rice Krispies rip apart the roof of anyone else's mouth? I hope it's not just me, and it's not syptomatic of some serious medical condition that's everso slowly destroying me.

Or are you supposed to slop so much milk over them they just become pointless? "Rice floppies"

Daz · Aug 2005

Alpen all the way. Best Muesli evAr. Man, I would love to know where I could get some over here. I used to love that stuff as a kid.
PaK, I'm sure I've seen shreddies in that British food store on El Camino in Redwood city. Probably absurdly expensive though as everything in there is. No Alpen though

KDR_11k · Aug 2005

Plain cereals*. I don't like the fruit or chocolate mixtures. And that sweet junk they try to sell you as "a complete breakfast" doesn't even count.

*=That's what LEO returns for "Müsli".

Weiser_Cain · Aug 2005

I don't know about rice crispies, but captain crunch always turned my mouth into a bloody mess.

Rwolf · Aug 2005

if your getting "rice floppies" your not eating fast enough

KDR_11k · Aug 2005

No, he's saying if they're not floppy they're like chewing on razorblades to him.

Rick Stirling · Aug 2005

Harold Shipman. The UKs best and favourite.

Sean McBride · Aug 2005

Pak: That looks like chex. @_@ Its also dosn't have any added sugar I don't think.

Not much of a milk and cereal kind of guy. "Life" isn't bad though.

sal_manilla · Aug 2005

It's Golden Crisps for me followed by the new Vanilla Special "K".

ironbearxl · Aug 2005

CooOOOkie Crisp!

PaK · Aug 2005

I've heard of this british store in Redwood City, i bet i could find some decent tea there too. Our lead programmer got me some curry paste from there one time.

favorites as a kid:

jzero · Aug 2005

Hey, 3DGuy: Buy it by the case!

Most of my faves are extinct now, like a Kellogg's one called Kenmei Rice Bran, big fat flakes of exactly that, and supremely milk-spongey. Then there was Quaker Corn Bran, which also soaked up the milk like nobody's biz. But both of those are gone now, so I have to be happy with corn flakes or raisin bran.

Now-forgotten sugared cereals of my childhood:

Baron Von Redberry / Sir Grapefellow
(Chocula-Frankenberry precursors featuring 'Stop the Pigeon'-era WWI aero rival mascots)

Pink Panther Flakes
(turned the milk pink, yes sir, and nigh inedible as well)

Grins, Smiles, Giggles and Laughs
(Yes, that was one cereal. A big bowl of smiley-faces. Don't remember what the hell it tasted like.)

I tell my kids now that the next sugar cereal will be Birthday Cakes, with little multicolored wedge-shaped sugary nuggets. Mmmmm, high blood sugar, let's go!

POP TARTS CRUNCH

TNSLB · Aug 2005

If I have it in the house, I could eat an entire box of Kashi Go Lean Crunch in a single day. Then spend all night doubled up from the MASSIVE fiber ripping through me.

Honey Nut Cheerios is the BOMB! Raisin Bran Rules! My all time 'classic' go-to cereal is actually All Bran. Loved it since I was a kid and we HAD sugar cereal! Lucky Charms are awesome as well when I want sugar cereal.

ETA - Pak, you can find Shreddies online at britishdelights.com to order. I love them, ukgoods.com and goodwoods.com and of COURSE britishbacon.com

Joshua Stubbles · Aug 2005

Growing up I liked Honeycomb and Applejacks.

Nowadays I like Banana Nut Crunch, plain Cheerios and Grape Nuts.

swampbug · Aug 2005

Yo Leah, Kashi Go Lean... I eat that sometimes.

I want NERDs cereal to return. 2 seperate bags each containing a differnt color nerd.

Neo_God · Aug 2005

I used to eat corn pops all of the time, I still do love corn pops, but now I seem to be eating more of this Paul Newman blueberry cereal.

AstroZombie · Aug 2005

Kashi Heart to Heart with vanilla soy milk or oatmeal.

sledgy · Aug 2005

/me ^5's Tins, Lucky Charms 4evar.

adam · Aug 2005

I'd have to say Crispix followed by Life.

But for sugar cereals its Golden Gram's all the way.

Wells · Aug 2005

Count Chocula.

but after reading swampbug's post, I want nerds cereal. That shit was good.

MoP · Aug 2005

Count Chocula sounds like my idea of the perfect cereal, but it's impossible to get in the UK, I think manufacturers regard it as too massively sweet-overkill to sell well here. Anyone know where I might get some?

Tully · Aug 2005

MoP, I'll get you some for xmas :P

Aesir, I'm pretty sure they have that here! I've never had it though. Is it seriously that good? I could give it a whirl.

Personally, I go through cycles with my cereal buying. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is always a great favourite, but at the moment I'm with the All Bran Strawberry Bites. They're even sorta healthy! I also really like Special K Vanilla Almond, but only dry.

MoP · Aug 2005

Roll on xmas, then!

Wells · Aug 2005

Anyone else notice when a year or two ago a lot of companies switched their recipes for more healthy ones they killed the taste? Seems like now I can actually taste the corn-starch or whatever the hell they're really made of. And thats no fun.

Joshua Stubbles · Aug 2005

That's why I'll only eat cereal when I'm pressed for time. It's much better to have a few eggs and a fruit bowl in the morning

killingpeople · Aug 2005

all this cereal talk is making my utters hurt.

Wells · Aug 2005

but how do your udders feel?

Ruz · Aug 2005

I loved porridge with treacle in it, frosties( there grrreat) and kellogs cornflakes.

sugar puffs are gorgeous too.

PaK · Aug 2005

I love Honey Nut cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and there was this one cereal I got when i was a kid that ruled the world, Honey Nut Corn Flakes.

I read somewhere that these sugary cereals are not the greatest things ina diet. I try not to buy things that will make me fatter.

r13 · Aug 2005

wth is treacle?

Wells · Aug 2005

whatever it is, the doormouse loved it.

Ruz · Aug 2005

wth is treacle?

golden syrup r13. Do you not have that in the states?

MoP · Aug 2005

Ruz: Golden Syrup is VERY different to Treacle! Treacle is much darker, thicker, and with a nastier taste. It's almost like halfway between Golden Syrup and Liquorice... but Golden Syrup on porridge is where it's at!

Ruz · Aug 2005

well we always called it call it treacle where I come from( I am from peaasnt stock)

but yeah whatever its really called I love it on porridge.
Kind of drip it off your spoon in little swirls.

I was always a bit concerned about the logo though, a dead lion with flies buzzing aorund it WTF?

GRAPE NUTZZZ in the house!
