I like Cereal.

[LongestHorn 759]

I always have a few boxes of something.  Discovered HEB has an "artisan" line of cereals that don't suck.  Morning Sunshine was so good, I have tried others.

Do you dig cereal?  Recommendations?

 

[futureman 22565]

I had to stop buying cereal because I’ll eat multiple bowls a day if it’s in the house.  have many that I like but if you put a gun to my head I’d say grape nuts with lots of sugar.  

[Hank_Hill 19001]

Housed that shit when I was kid/through highschool. At this point I doubt I'll ever have another bowl.

[Sam Lin 3566]

Who remembers Boo Berry and how it would change your poop blue?

[Jimbaround 978]

I rarely eat cereal but last week I had some Cheerios with bananas and blueberries and it was glorious. What few are a shot ton of Cinnamon Toast Crunch when she was pregnant.

[abuelo gringo 323]

We generally do cereal every other day, alternating with a cooked breakfast.  Wife does most of the cooking, so I'm good with whatever she wants.  We usually doctor it up with fruit, fresh strawberries or peaches, frozen blueberries from Sam's, etc.  In Winter, we often have instant oatmeal, to which we add apples or other fruit. 

I love a good breakfast of sausage and eggs, breakfast tacos, pancakes, or mcmuffin type breakfast sandwiches, but the quick and easy cereal is good. When we have grandkids over (often during summer) they always get a cooked breakfast, so I eat less cereal.

I would probably eat more cereal if I was doing the cooking.

[TwiceHorn 31699]

I like it but don't eat it.  One carb I have successfully cut.  I will eat oatmeal in the winter, because it's a fairly good carb.

[Tylerocks 2557]

I'm on a Special K Nourish w/yogurt bits and dried berries and peaches kick.  I'll add a fresh banana on top of that.

Vanilla Almond milk.

I'm simple... corn flakes with mango is my go to.

[South Austin 52746]

I've been eating oatmeal over cereal for several years, but in my most recent cereal days I'd go with Kashi GoLean Original.  13g of fiber and I was pooping on schedule.

[NWBuck 8593]

I love me some Cracklin' Oat Bran- so much that I've cut it out of my diet. Wasn't unusual for me to eat a whole box on a Saturday morning between breakfast and lunch.

it's like Brillo pads for your colon... and was great fuel for some worktime crop dusting later in the day.

I'm another Cracklin' Oat Bran fiend.

I haven't eaten cereal in several years.  Just kinda lost the desire to keep it around, but fuck I love that stuff.

It don't help that it's $27 dollars a box or something ridiculous (Whenever HEB is open).

I had a friend from Battle Creek who worked at Kellogg's that procured me a case of the stuff in grad school. I think it lasted a week.

Come to think of it, all of my roommates moved out around the same time.

Ahhh, can I bitch?

Honey Nut Cheerios was the bomb. The motherfucking bomb. Best cereal ever. Tasted amazing, and yet much healthier than most cereals, and certainly healthier than anything that tasted even remotely as good. And then a few years back, it got ... kinda not so good. I mean, it's still a good enough cereal, but that's all; it's only "good enough." And I finally found out what they did. You know what they changed?

They don't have almonds in it any more. They're using ground-up peach pits. If you look on the label, it'll say "natural almond flavoring" or something like that... you know what that is? It's ground-up peach pits is what it is.

Now ... don't get me wrong about this. I'm not grossed out. I'm not feeling like you've done put some weird chemical shit in there. You crack open a peach pit, pull out the nut and roast it, you'll have yourself a passable decent nut...

...that tastes like almond in the same way that LaCroix tastes like carbonated fruit juice.

For the record, it doesn't contain actual peach pits.  Peach pits contain essentially cyanide, as well as other chemicals that are similar to those contained in almonds.  Apricot pits are the same way.  Honey Nut Cheerios contain, as you note, almond flavoring, which may be extracted from peach or apricot pits, both of which are related to almonds.

[Longboard Horn 40999]

As a kid I enjoyed Lucky Charms, Frosted Flakes, Applejacks, you name it. Nowadays if I have any cereal, which I rarely do, I stick to good ole Honey Nut Cheerios.

[Continental Op 3934]

I'm in the "Don't keep cereal around because I would eat the whole box in a day" camp but I loved me some Raisin Nut Bran back in the day. 

[Jack Straw 2954]

raisin bran with cranberries

 i go through a box every week or so

 

[4th&Five 41710]

Cracklin' Oat Bran and Oh's are my all time favorites.  I'm in the don't buy it so I won't eat it crowd as well.

[Reagan1k 3026]

Grape Nuts, Raisin Bran, Wheat Chex, Frosted Flakes - I've got no ability to stop once I start eating them.

Don't buy them but given the chance I'd eat a whole box of any of the 4 tonight if it appeared.

Loved Honey Combs as a kid but haven't had it in some time.

My wife makes chocolate chip cookies and mixes in Honey Bunches of Oats and they are amazing.....

[LW Goatman 1125]

Grape Nuts + Milk + Honey

[HoustonHorn 1062]

Crispix. Still eat a bowl or three post dinner on occasion. I used to eat a whole big-ass mixing bowl of Crispix as dessert when I was young. Love it and there really isn't a close second.

[Underdog 28880]

Love cereal and used to eat it quite regularly, but since watching my carbs, have cut back on it and mainly eat the Special K Protein variety now.  Have also cut back on my milk consumption due to  cutting back on the cereal. 

[deft 6901]

[Wally Fairway 5607]

[BlueGreySky 1032]

Mixture of corn and rice chex with just a sprinkle of sugar.  But it's only a couple times per year that I even buy it any more.

[Tailgate 3027]

Fruity Pebbles....especially after a multiple beer evening at midnight or later...small enough that if your going hard...you don’t even have to chew.

[Both Tacos 1825]

Was at the grocery store tonight and while going through the cereal aisle my boy spots S'Mores cereal. He asks if we can get it and I tell him if we are going to eat cereal than we are going balls to the wall with it. I picked up 2 boxes and tossed them into the cart like a manly man in front of the boy.
Now, not a word of this is to get back to momma.

I just polished off a bowl of Crispix. I love it. I’ve lived it since it came out in the 80s. 

I also love Life.

[thrillhammer 684]

I love cereal too.   I've been kicking the idea of a cereal diet.  Having nothing but cereal three meals a day.  Reduced fat milk.  I have high hopes.

When I was a kid, okay even in college, I loved Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries.  That was my jam.  Lucky Charms was second.  Cocoa Krispies, Sugar Pops, Sugar Snaps (was Dean Martin the voice of the bear?).  When I was feeling healthy, Frosted Mini Wheats and Raisin Bran.   Nowadays it's nuttin but granola.  I've tried every kind.  And mueslix, like the cereology line from HEB the OP is talking about.  Good shit.  

 

[Wiler77 1586]

I don't function in the morning without a bowl of cereal with berries on top and a glass of OJ.

In the summer, nothing beats a 50/50 mix of Wheat Chex and plain Life, topped with blueberries and a ripe peach.  I prefer 1% milk with it.

Other times I like Frosted mini-wheats, topped with whatever berries are in season.  And lots of them.

Agreed.  Fresh blubes do the trick.  I've tried blackberries but don't like them as well.   Aint nobody got time to slice fruit in the morning so peaches and strawbs are not an option for me.

[texas08 1599]

Love cereal. However, I don’t like drinking milk...fat AF. I’ve resorted to this combo and it’s damned good.





On certain days, I want the extra tons of sugar so I go to this with the almond milk

You could slice them the night before and leave them in the fridge until morning.

And how long does it take to slice a strawberry any way?

[GottaB 595]

I’m a huge fan of cracklin oat bran. Have been since my grandma introduce me to it when I was 12. I still eat it twice a week.

 

Cinnamon life/ cinnamon Chex are in the rotation.

 

If I eat fruity pebbles or coco puffs, it’s for dessert. So good.

 

 

 

Our cabinet like a month ago. The Rice Krispies were purely to make rice crispy treats.

[Rimbo 26464]

By the way, fuck lowfat milk. Fuck yogurt made from lowfat milk. Fuck all that shit. It's a relic of a bygone age when people overstated the importance of avoiding fats and understated the importance of avoiding fucking sugar.

Drink whole milk or go the fuck home. Not even 2%. Whole. Fucking. Milk. Not gonna get into a science lecture, just sayin' you need to be drinking whole milk instead of that 2%/1% and GOD HELP YOU if you are drinking that unholy abomination unto the Lord called "skim milk." I mean what the fuck are they skimming, other than your wallet? 

Fucker: HI I'M GONNA SELL YOU SOME SHIT THAT YOU BOUGHT BUT I'M WATERING IT DOWN
You: SHIT REALLY? I'LL PAY YOU EXTRA FOR THAT SHIT

In what fucking goddamned universe does it make sense to pay the same for a gallon of watered-down product as it does to water it down yourself

outside of decaf coffee, I mean, that make sense

Shit, if that's the fuckery you wanna engage in, if you actually like the shit, you just buy the whole milk then go water it down at home, ya sick fuck

Every cereal denied me as a kid i ate in college.  Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Fruity Pebbles, Cookie Crisps and a bunch others.  I have rarely eaten cereal since college.
