Favorite Cereal?

[carrie721]

OK, Ledgies, let's talk about food! :laugh:

What's your favorite cereal? My favorite is Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries ... it's the perfect cereal. Crunchy, sweet, tart ... Yummmm! I haven't been eating a lot of it lately, though, since I'm trying to lose some weight ... so it's Kashi GoLean Crunch for me!

[amber]

Oh, those Golden Grahams - and -
It's Honey Nut Cheerios!

My friend's favorite is Honey Bunches of Oats, too. I haven't really had it.

Also this one from the bins at Whole Foods - Vanilla Almond granola crunchy. The Pumpkin Spice granola crunchy is good, too.
There aren't many cereals I don't like, actually, which is why I rarely buy it. I thought of about 15 in the space of four seconds. Dangerous.

I almost bought that Vanilla Almond cereal when I was at the mustard seed the other day. Cereal in general is one of my favorite foods ... yummmmmmm. I'm only letting myself have a cup a day, tho.

[HomerMcvie]

I'm a little kid. I alternate between #1- Frosted Flakes and #2- Peanut Butter Captain Crunch.


Seriously. :o
I eat cereal maybe 1-2 evenings a week(I like it for dessert!). And I RARELY eat any sweets, so it's my occasional sugar fix!

That's good. It's hard for me to stop once I start. You know, I'll have three bowls? I'll eat it dry for a snack? Etc. Total Carb addict. although I'm not sure carb is a proper noun, in need of capitalization.
And that vanilla almond sh*t is awesome.

P.S. Those ones are good, Homie. Especially PBCC. I really like Cocoa Crispies, I remember. I'd probably finish the whole box at once.

I LOVE cap'n crunch. LOVE. I could eat a whole box of it in one sitting. I hate how it scratches the roof of your mouth, tho - ouch. But it's so sweet and buttery and good ... :woohoo:

I can't eat Cocoa Crispies, or any other chocolate cereal. I've just never enjoyed it. Wait, I take that back. I love the Reese's Cup cereal. That shiz is amazing. But it's the only chocolate one I like.

It's hard for me to stop, too, but I'm being pretty civilized about my eating habits in general right now. And I'm going to start going back to the gym tomorrow. :thumbsup:

YES. I've had the Reese's cereal. It was pretty damned good. I only tried it, because Wallyhell had it fer cheap!

Ah, yes, that's because you suck. :nod:

Civilized, you say? Have you eaten cereal in bed? :laugh:
Good luck at the gym.

:laugh: mmmm, that stuff'll rot your teeth faster than a vat of sulfuric acid.

Hey, you live in the "heartland," don't you? Do they show the Jack Van Impe show where you are? He's my favorite end-time prophet, and he's on at 1:05 a.m. here.

[carrie721]

Ah, yes, that's because you suck. :nod:

Love your deductive reasoning. ;)

Umm, I just did. :o and thanks.

[amber]

Love your deductive reasoning. ;)
Sometimes those flashes of genius just hit me.



Umm, I just did. :o and thanks.

Ah HA!!!

"civilized", are you? :xoxo:

I've totally been tempted to try that stupid Reese's cereal. It sucks you guys told me it was good. :distress:

WHO??:woohoo: Yes, I'm in an OASIS in the heartland. Jack Me Who?:D I've heard his name, but couldn't tell you sh*t about who he is. I'm a card carrying Atheist. I'm just as afraid of religious folks, as I am of organized religion.

Yep, we're assholes. NOW TRY IT!

and Homie: Jack Van Impe is hella scary/funny. I mentioned him because he just came on the channel I was watching, and I was curious to see if they play him in places other than here, too. If you want a good laugh, check this out: http://www.jvim.com/

I just glanced at the site, but was afraid that they might be trying to convert me!:p
I'm sure they show it here, or I probably wouldn't recognize his name(I guess I've seen it in TV Guide).

[AliceLover]

Hmm lets see, I usually wake up around 12 everyday so I skip Breakfast a lot. But I do like these cereals:

Honey Nut Cheerios
Lucky Charms
Coco Puffs (drool)
NESQUIK CEREAL whatever happened to this, I LOVED IT
Frosted Flakes

[estranged4life]

Cheerios, Honeynut Cheerios, Honeycomb, Fruit Loops & Lucky Charms.

[irishgrl]

When I was a kid, it was all about Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries and the Peanut Butter variety....also Count Chocula.

I want to cast another vote for the Reese's Puffs, Ive got a box as we speak!

my son likes Chocolate Lucky Charms and Cap'n Crunch w/Crunchberries as well!

[JazmenFlowers]

Total with a little Splenda
Lucky Charms
Frosted Flakes
Fruit Loops

that's about all I'll eat

[mikeschmike]

Raisin Bran Crunch is my favorite. I like it because it doesn't get soggy and mushy after 30 seconds in milk like most cereal.

[skcin]

As a kid, my favorite was Life. :shocked:

I usually eat Raisin Bran, and I LOVE Basic 4 but I'm not going to pay $5 for a small box.

I do love sugary not-good-for-you-at-all cereals (Cap'n Crunch & Cinammon Toast Crunch come to mind) but I fugure if I'm going to eat a bowl full of starch & sugar, I may as well try to jam some fiber in too.

[madformac]

I like regular old Cornflakes or Branflakes. I don't drink milk so I tend to eat then dry or with a little water.

I'm not into sugary breakfasts. There seems to be a fascination (and I blame America for this I'm afraid) for eating sugary and chocolaty cereals. Sugar Puffs, Coco Pops, Honey Nut Loops, Frosties etc etc etc.. Theres already sugar in breakfast fruits and juices before a glucose hit from the cereal too

Its no wonder childhood diabetes is on the rise.

Britain is now getting as bad too. Mcdonalds, Coke etc etc we all can deal with. Junk food. take it or leave it. Most disturbing is when you find sugar is being added to bread and milk too.. Its a bit worrying, especially with the salt content.

[DrummerDeanna]

My favorite is actually Frosted Mini Spooners -the Malt-O-Meal (cereal in a bag) version of Frosted Mini Wheats. I don't like the actual Frosted Mini Wheats - but LOVE the mini-spooners.

Lately I've been enjoying Life Cereal.

Others that I love:

Lucky Charms
Frosted Flakes
Cheerios (just plain old Cheerios)
Trix

Oh -and a while ago they put out an "Oops All Berries" variety of Cap't Chrunch - LOVED that...what a sugar rush! :D

My sister got all into something called Wheatabix when she was in London...isn't that a cereal type thing?

[madformac]

Yeah its a mushy sort of porridge type slop. I think you add hot milk and mix it up. I used to really love it as a kid but when I stopped drinking milk I stopped eating it.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

I like weetabix with cold milk.. so they stay crisp if you eat them quickly enough

[BombaySapphire3]

I hate to perpetuate stereotypes but it really is granola.

[MacMan]

Fave is Shreddies.

[Livia]

I'm on a honey nut Cheerios w/ fresh blueberries kick at the moment. And I usually eat it at night.

[Sarah]

cap'n crunch .. regular red box, no crunch berries. but i gotta say, i like the malt-o-meal bagged colossal crunch or whatever it is better than the real deal.

fruity pebbles.
cinnamon toast crunch.
sugar smacks.
golden crisp.

[Dark Angel]

Frosted Mini Wheats (Maple & Brown Sugar and Vanilla Creme)
Smart Start
Special K (Vanilla Almond)
Cinnamon Toast Crunch

[diamondsnake]

I hardly ever eat cereal, but when I do it is Special K.

But, my favorite sugary cereal is Waffle Crisp! Yum!

[skcin]

I know Madformac already said he doesn't drink milk, but what about everyone ese? How much milk do you put on your cereal?

I like a splash of 1% myself. Probably not even enough to go halfway up the cereal bowl.

For me it depends on the cereal. Life - I like it crunchy - so I just splash a little milk on there - I fill up my bowl a bit more with mini-spooners.

Otherwise - I use about a cup or so. And I drink skim, only skim :)

[diamondsnake]

I like a just enough milk to coat my cereal. And, I only like skim milk for my cereal.

[chiliD]

I love cereal...

COLD:
Life
Rice, Bran or Wheat Chex (no Corn Chex...except in Chex mix at Christmas)
Frosted Mini Wheats (preferably the unflavored, but the Vanilla Creme isn't bad, nor is the Strawberry)
Quaker Puffed Wheat & Puffed Rice
Honey Bunches of Oats (w/almonds or strawberries)
Cracklin' Oat Bran
Both Cocoa & Fruity Pebbles
Raisin Bran
Spoon Size Shredded Wheat
Grape-Nuts
Alpha-Bits
Lucky Charms
Actually, just about anything with "Bran" in the name.

HOT:
Quaker Instant Oatmeal (Strawberries & Creme, Blueberries & Cream, Peaches & Cream...or Brown Sugar & Cinnamon, Brown Sugar & Raisins)
Chocolate Malt-O-Meal

[goldie]

Cheerios for me, all the way, every day. Just the plain stuff in the yellow box. With a little bit of skim milk. I even have pajamas with Cheerios on them. Hubby calls me "Cheerios-Girl." How did he come up with that one? :)

[goldustsongbird]

Ooh, I like the honey bunches of oats. I haven't had that in awhile. I've been doing the bran thing for awhile now. I know, I'm old. Stoppit. I used to love the really sugary stuff, like Lucky Charms and Count Chocula. And Cinnamon Mini Buns! Have you ever had those? Good stuff. I've really gotten away from the sugar, tho, so I think if I were to have those cereals again I'd either get super hyped up or keel over. :laugh:

[goldustsongbird]

I love cereal...
HOT:
Quaker Instant Oatmeal (Strawberries & Creme, Blueberries & Cream, Peaches & Cream...or Brown Sugar & Cinnamon, Brown Sugar & Raisins)
Chocolate Malt-O-Meal

Mmmm. I love brown sugar oatmeal. I used to add extra brown sugar, heh. I'm getting hungry!

[DrummerDeanna]

You know what I love most about Honey Bunches of Oats? The commercials. I LOVE that black lady who yells things like "WE MAKE A LOT OF CEREAL HERE" and such. I don't know why, but I enjoy her.

I do like the cereal as well, but it's just not filling to me - so I end up eating more than a serving - which is bad. That's my problem with a lot of cereals - which is why I like more weighty ones.

[sara1998]

OH the cereals I love:
Cocoa Pebbles
Fruity Pebbles
PB Cap'n Crunch
Honey Nut Cheerios
Frosted Mini Wheats
Banana Nut Crunch
Honey Combs
Cracklin' Oat Bran

I enjoy it all with lots of 1% milk.

[carrie721]

Yay, I'm so glad everyone's willing to discuss cereal with me! :woohoo: I love you guys! :xoxo:

Re Paula's milk question, I usually like to put enough milk in the bowl so that I can see it through the cereal ... that's usually the right ratio for me. Now that I'm really watching what I eat, though, I usually have 1/2 a cup of milk with 1 cup of cereal. It's too much milk for that amt of cereal, but eh.

In other news, I started going back to the gym today and I feel like a million bucks. Well ... maybe not a million. But I feel good.

[skcin]

^ I finally got my ass back on the elliptical last night. it was hot as hell, but I do feel better.



Hey - what cereals do you guys hate? I refuse to eat anything "fruity." Tastes to chemically to me. Froot Loops are the worst, and I also dislike Fruity Pebbles. But Frankenberry & Booberry are fine, for some reason.

[cliffdweller]

How much milk do you put on your cereal?


Like you, I put very little on my cereal, but unlike you, I always use 2% :p.


I'm with the poster who likes frosted mini-wheats (the vanilla creme are delicious!) I also like warm Grape Nuts in the winter, I know, I'm weird.

Sugary cereals are the best although I never eat them. Cocoa Puffs are great and does anyone remember Cookie Crisp? Do they still make that? Man, I used to love that as a kid.

[Livia]

I like warmed up Grape Nuts too. And oatmeal with brown sugar.

Yes, I remember Cookie Crisp! Remember Quisp?

I use enough milk to give me a few sips of what's left in the bowl when the cereal's gone. :D Lactose free-fat free for me.

[skcin]

I let the cats have the rest of my milk. I know it's not good for them, but it's only a tiny bit. And they love it! :) Actually, Willy literally leaped off a table into the bowl as I was placing in the floor for them the other day. No worries, he licked up the mess. :thumbsup:

Ah-ha! I thought I was the only one who loved warm 'nuts :laugh: (do nut jokes ever get old?)

I don't remember Quisp. What was it?

I'm craving some Cookie Crisp!

[Livia]

http://www.quisp.com/

OMG, they sell it online! They had those quazy commercials and the cereal was supposed to be shaped like a flying saucer.

I miss Sat. morning cartoons - all the commercials used to be either sugar or toys! Maybe they still are and I just don't pay attention. :D

[iamstevienicks]

Oh no. Please no. That website hurts my sensibilities :laugh:

In other words, it's a bit too quazy for me. I also don't trust food that is bought online. Seems a bit suspect :laugh:.

[skcin]

Ah-ha! I thought I was the only one who loved warm 'nuts :laugh: (do nut jokes ever get old?)



No. No they don't. Please proceed to the "counting calories works" thread. :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

No. No they don't. Please proceed to the "counting calories works" thread. :laugh:


I saw that! I just love having fun with "nuts." There's a new one for ya ;) :p

[michelle2677]

cereal I love-captain crunch berries
pops
honeycomb

I HATE grape nuts. GROSS. you could break a few teeth on those things

[michelle2677]

Cookie Crisp

OMG!!! how could I forget that one?!!

yes..I love the shit out of some cookie crisp. Even without milk...mmmm....
