OT: Best Cereal

[Dove]

I had a girlfriend in Towers who tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

So that.

I hate to tell you this but that was a dude named Todd Callahan. From Rockville, I think.

Raisin Bran turns to sludge four seconds after milk contact.

That's why the "Crunch" version

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Honey Bunches of Oats w/ almonds and some 2%- most underrated cereal.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios, Reese's Puffs are my classic favorites as a kid.

 

[Northbound]

Reflecting on those amazing variety packs. Do they still do these anymore?

And adding to my Chocolate Cheerios...Sugar Pops!!!! F'in loved those when I used to eat them. Then one day a large, black beetle crawled out of a box I bought and I was done.

Yes they do. I think I got some a Duane Reade recently and loved the Apple Jacks.

And Frosted mini wheats are great and whoever slandered them needs to just shut their whore mouth.

I've loved them all at one time or another, from the most plain to the most sugary and all points and textures in between.

Except one: Grape-nuts.

Wtf.

"Hey, let's make a cereal that recreates what it would be like to eat a mouthful of gravel!"

I had a phase where I liked that stuff. Haven't tried it in 20 years tho.

What did you move on to, razor blades?

 

[BugsyCT]

I hate to be a buzzkill, but cereal is total garbage. I mean from a health point of view. It tastes wonderful, but it should never be eaten. Also, milk is filled with estrogen and designed to make babies fat. So don't drink milk either.

"wait . . . what?"

Phil Hartman was a freaking genius. I get so pissed off about his untimely death every time I am reminded of him.

Oh how I miss Lionel Hutz & Troy McClure.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Cap'n Crunch
Frosted Flakes.

 

[StoweD210]

Count motha-duck_kin-chocula ftw!

It only comes out around halloween now tho. An absolute travesty.

That's why you've got to stock up in October and have a supply to last a few months.

 

[StoweD210]

Before Captain Crunch there was these better tasting originals:

If the Quaker Oats site is to be believed, you can still buy Quisp at Shop Rite.

 

[Mr. French]

I'm not even gonna start because I will literally write an essay on this topic. It's a combination of my two favorite things: Cereal and lists/rankings.

Grape nuts ice cream is surprisingly good.

It just occurred to me. When I was a wee kid I never asked..."Who the flock is Euell Gibbons?!?"

he's a famous gravel muncher of yore.

Not a carpet muncher? Hmmph.

Sounds like you just don't have the stamina to be a Grape-Nuts fan.

I had to soak those things for a while to soften them up, when I was young. Was that the correct way or just eat them like jawbreakers with milk?

 

[BIGMAC]

Grain berry Honey Nut -Much better than Cheerios
Grape-Nuts ,
Shredded Wheat

For the Sugar
Cap'n Crunch
Frosted flakes
Apple Jacks
Fruit Loops
Puffa Puffa Rice

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

My standby is Honey Bunches o'Oats. Just the regular. With blueberries and whole milk.

I used to love Cracklin Oat Bran as a couch snack, but it's not the healthiest thing and these days is pretty expensive.

If you can't get enough of cereal milk and are looking for more ways to enjoy it, I'll share this from my buddy Jay in Baltimore: a recipe for Fruity Pebbles cappuccino.

I was at the ready to bring up Momofuku's ice cream and then decided to first click on your link even though it's not of interest.

 

[meyers7]

Captain Crunch variations can do that too.


Anyone remember King Vitamin?

Have breakfast with the King.

I have a container of pre-cooked McCann's steel cut Irish oatmeal in the refrigerator. I'll add raisins, maybe almonds & a splash of half and half, or just almond milk to a lightly nuked bowl.

Though I'm on extended hiatus, my sugar delivery system of choice has traditionally been bulk candy, two bags, one fruity & one chocolate-y, eaten in random order and eventually mixed together at the end.

I nonetheless enter this thread at my own peril and discover a few things:

I like the company.

I've eaten all the cereals up through when Cap'n Crunch was introduced, and less than a third thereafter. I can still recall picking mashed clumps of Cap'n out of my molars not long after all my baby teeth were replaced.

Being here for the discussion is not unlike how I'm up-to-date with the Tournament thread but haven't watched a single game yet. And I like the name Raphael Chillious; it'd be great in an urban graphic novel set a few years into the future.

Ultimately, I feel as out of place in this thread as Lady Hans felt last Sunday at a screening of "Repo Man," which I still love. Might as well blame society.

 

[Deepster]

Not a carpet muncher? Hmmph.

Based on your question, I'm not sure you know what that term means.

ha ha...guess not. Assumed it was all-inclusive.
