What's your favorite cereal? I myself prefer Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds. I call it "HBO." Posts: 2756 | Registered: Jul 2002

Growing up if I had any kind of cereal it was the frosted flakes that came in those huge bags.
Now, my absolute favorite is a kind called Cranberry Almond Crunch. I think it's made by the HBO people. Yum!

Honey Bunches of Oats, Almonds. It's sweet without being sugary, and good for you without being bland.

I like to mix spoon sized shredded wheat and golden crisp.
HBO with dried strawberries is probably my favorite, but it doesn't have quite enough fiber.
Mack, my brother in Phoenix serves cereal for breakfast when we stay over, but he doesn't put milk on the table; he serves it with distilled water. There's so much sugar in cereal, that one hardly notices the milk anyway.

I love Peanut Butter Crunch for sweat sugary goodness. Best hot cereal is by far Cream of Wheats drizzled with light brown sugar. mmm... so good!

I always think I want Lucky Charms, maybe for the nostalgia, but it just isn't as good as I remember. Posts: 6367 | Registered: Aug 2003

Lucky Charms are downright nasty when soggy. We used to call them Yucky Charms. You almost have to eat them dry from the box, followed by a quick gulp of milk to get any crunch at all.
In high school my buddy, who was on the football team, showed me how to eat cereal: half a box of Cap'n Crunch and a quart of milk in a Tupperware mixing bowl. The Cap'n was the only cereal that would stay crunchy through the half hour that it took to get to the bottom. Forget Yucky Charms in Tupperware!

I love Corn Bran and Cracklin' Oat Bran. But alas, they rarely, if ever, are on sale!
For a sugary treat, I enjoy both Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles. Ooo, and Cookie Crisp. But these are more dessert than breakfast. And I always eat too much, makes me feel ill.
Golden Grahams and Life are both verrrry tasty.

Rice crispies with sugar. Can't go wrong with it. Life, both kinds... Honey comb...
When I was a kid I liked- Cap'n crunch. It had the best prices. Rice crispies. Circus fun, which was better than Lucky Charms because it didn't have gross icky oats in it. It had rings and balls and nice tasting marshmallows. Total with honey, i still love Total with honey Special K which is good with sugar. That defeats the purpose.

I miss the Rice Krispies with marshmallows. Their marshmallows tasted different than any other cereal's marshmallows. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

I had to get used to a WHOLE NEW cereal culture now that I'm in Israel! Hehe... but I like Cari'ot, now that I'm here, the Capuccino flavor... that's the best. My little sister is addicted to Ugi.

If I just wanted a sugar rush (which is usually the reason I eat cereal), it was Rice Crispy Treat cereal. I haven't seen that lately, though, but the Reese's stuff works too.
If I eat cereal as a breakfast, it's HBO. It tends to be more expensive for the size of the box, though, so I don't get it very often.

Oh, and Frosted Flakes. Yeah, I know - all that sugar. But the upside is that 1) I don't have to put sugar on them, and 2) they don't seem to get soggy like regular corn flakes do.
Also, Alpha Bits, but they are expensive (I can get generic versions of the other two that are just as good as the brand name versions) so I don't get them very often.

I can't stand cereals that are heavily sugared, so my favorites are cheerios, corn flakes, and Life, which does have a small amount of sugar, but isn't nearly as sickening as most sugared cereals.

There was one awesome cereal called Suncrunchers, but I think it did poorly and was discontinued pretty quickly. Sad and all.

In my case, as far as the mainstream cereals go, the only ones I didn't eat were the Cinnamon ones... My favorites were Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, Life, Raisin Bran, Grapenuts, Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries.

Peanut Butter Crunch is my current favorite. Growing up it was Crunch Berries, until they added the second color.

I hate when cereals are 'updated'. Please, we love them as they are...make a new cereal if you want to mess around with flavors! Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

The best cereal ever was Cap'n Crunch's basesball crunch. It was basically Cap'n Crunch with baseball shaped marshmellows.

I'm not really a cereal person...if I eat cereal I am always hungry an hour later. My breakfast usually consists of one of those great start breakfasts (sort of like a TV dinner, but with eggs, sausage, and potatoes) and carnation instant breakfast (mix it with milk).
Though when I do eat cereal as a snack, I like coco puffs

Best healthy, not-seriously sweetened cereal: tie -- kix/cheerios Best 'healthy' but sweetened cereal: spoon sized honey nut shredded wheat Best sugar cereal: corn pops Best overall cereal: crackling oat bran
Hot cereal:
Best store-bought cereal: Roman meal [with brown sugar and milk (or even better -- cream)] Best home-made cereal: My grandfather's special mix of steel cut, rolled oats, barley, wheat and I believe one other other grain [flax? amarynth?] cooked in a double boiler and topped with raisins, brown sugar and a little milk.

Zal, how can you have a best "overall" cereal that doesn't fit into one of the other categories first?

My favorite two are Kashi Go-Lean Crunch and Peace Cereals Essential 10. My kids fave is Trader Joe's Triple Berry-O's. I put vanilla yogurt on top rather than milk.

For those of you who miss cereal because it's typical side kick has started kicking you, the refridgerated kind of soy milks (I usually get plain) are a pretty descent substitution. Except that 8th Continent brand. That stuff is gross, at least to me.
