Cheerios for me, still like them. I eat cereal so infrequently these days though, that any cereal, including Cheerios, has a bran-like quick "effect" on me.

Those sugar-bomb cereals (understandably) weren’t on the list of products purchased by my parents, so I didn’t have the option of preferring them.

Between the two. It was Frosted Flakes.

But I'd choose Raisin Bran over both if given the chance.



I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

Trix if I have a choice but Frosted Flakes will do in a pinch.

As a kid, it was Frosted Flakes...sugar, of course!

I now mix Cheerios with the three Chex cereals.

Well, not really. Both grandfathers had diabeetus, and my dad was worried about developing it.

I liked both as a kid, still do as an adult. Now I just mix the two... Big Grin

If I had nothing else and had to choose, it would be cheerios hands down. That said I'm picky about what processed foods I eat these days.

Any of the Kashi cereals are pretty good, but some have too much added sugar so you've got to check the label if that's important to you.

Cheerios,

corn flakes sometimes,


I always drank the milk out the bowl (still do) frosted flakes, and corn pops, made it too sweet,


as a Teen and adult, I loved some Product 19, but that apparently has been discontinued

Growing up Frosted Flakes in a heart beat. It'd be like candy and mean we're on vacation or something.

I remember big bags of Puffed Wheat with huge green army solders. As big as your hand when a kid.

Still eat Cheerios when I eat cereal.
BTW, Cheerios were first introduced 79 years ago, yesterday.

Plain, original Cheerios with raisins added. Always and forever.

My go to was Sugar Pops that sometime in the intervening years were rechristened as Corn Pops, also from childhood I’ve eaten Special K, because we stocked it for the favorite aunt who came to visit us. Cheerios were around.
These days our breakfast cereals are Special K (adding strawberries or bananas) or Cheerios ( adding strawberries only).

Fuck Cheerios.

The newer Cinnamon Frosted Flakes are good, though, but I don't eat much Cereal nowadays.

Frosted Flakes, Cheerios, Raison Bran.
I like Special K now, but still eat the others fairly often. I did not like oatmeal as a child, but love it now.

Honey Nut Cheerios when I was a kid. Now I really dig the cinnamon Chex.
