Cereal

[Star Ocean 2]

Peanut Butter Cheerios and Dulce de Leche Cheerios have arrived. Back in my day, all we had was plain Cheerios, and Honey Nut. Then Apple Cinnamon came along, which was just enough of a different flavor to be a decent addition. Now there are approximately 70 varieties. Shopping was so much easier back then. I didn't have to agonize over which flavor to try, and keep track of the ones I've had and hadn't had yet. I think that guy who wrote The Paradox of Choice must be in a continual state of laughter and weeping.

Yeah life's rough.

Hey if you guys can complain about ESPN in those other threads I can be melodramatic about cereal

I think the huge amount of new flavors<notice most of them are being put on the cereals that were more plain/healthier> is because those who grew up eating all the crazy sugary cereals are now going into their 30's<yes they've been around alot longer than that but I think in the 80's the amount of those really exploded> and want to eat better but still want the taste of the sugary cereals.

Dulce de Leche Cheerios aren't that great; caramel & crunchy are just not that good of a mix.
Apple Cinnamon still kicks ass. I don't think I've ever had Honey Nut Cheerios, which is odd.

Apple Cinammon Cheerios are the best (and I still have the old commercial jingle stuck in my head). I like the Chocolate Cheerios alright. Have not seen the new two, although Dulce does not sound appealing to me.

Think BlackFlagg is pretty spot on. Noticed like 18 different kinds of Special K at the store this week. Picked up a few boxes because they were running 4 for $10 plus free milk. Hopefully the cereal variety will not induce panic attacks in my morning routine.

I eat this stuff every morning:

It's fantastic. Not the healthiest breakfast, but pretty good for a cereal when paired with Skim Milk.

I still need to write a letter of complaint to grocery stores carrying hemp cereal.

Frosted Toast Crunch is like, the best thing ever.

Honey Nut Cheerios will be the cereal I raise my children on.

 

[JHawk]

Don't ask me why, but I used to mix Corn Pops and Raisin Bran. Found it delicious. Rarely eat cereal anymore at all

Just ate the worst Raisin Bran bowl in history. I feel like I might get HIV.

I'm pretty sure Waffle Crisp would be in my Top 5 somewhere in my list...

#1: Honey Nut Cheerios
#2: Waffle Crisp
#3: Corn Pops
#4: Golden Grahams
#5: Lucky Charms/Cookie Crisp (Tie. CC are more a special cereal for me that I get rarely)

should have liveblogged it.

 

[909]

Nothing happened, but it had this strange taste. Don't know why I kept eating it.

 

[MFer]

I miss Waffle Crisp :'(

 

[tekcop]

I don't understand.

Which beloved TSM poster buys his cereal from Amaz-oh, wait, it's gotta be Kamala

 

[JAxlMorrison]

Lately I've gotten hooked on Frosted Flakes and Reeses cereal.

 

[tekcop]

I haven't eaten cereal in at least 3 years.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I bought a box of Peanut Butter Toast Crunch. It should be called Ass Toast Crunch.

You ever notice that the General Mills monsters could represent the Father (Count Chocula), The Son (Frankenberry - created immaculately by the Count), and the Holy Ghost (Boo Berry)?

 

[BurningPirateShipSex]

That sounds sacrilicious, Venkman.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I originally asked my friend (who was eating Boo Berry) if those were supposed to be the souls of Count Chocula's victims, but he correctly pointed out his victims would also be chocolate vampires, therefore Count Chocula cereal is a box of victims stuck in their chocolate bat transformation.

 

[BurningPirateShipSex]

So are the ghosts in Boo Berry the souls of people who have died from Diabetes-related complications brought on by eating Boo Berry?

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Sounds about right.

Wacky pop culture references even in the food folder. If you don't win (or rig) POTY, I'm going to be so disappointed.

Well I lost and this is the current POTY match-up:
