Title: Favorite Cereal
Post by: bigmikecox on February 16, 2016, 09:29:41 AM
I have to go old school. I was an Alphabet kind of kid. Loved it! Second favorite was Frosted Flakes. I was such a sugar freak that id put a ton of sugar (this was before Equal was invented) on them and would have sugar left at the bottom id scrape and eat. As an adult, im all Honey Nut Cheerio, again, i put like 10 packs of Splenda on them

I loved sugar crisp (ever notice the sugar bear looks like he just smoked a big one?)
Frosted flakes
Would eat rice crispies and dump brown sugar on top and scrape it off the bottom like Mike does, lol!

But they were all pretty good!

Just got back from the store. There is a new packaging for some major brand of cereal in a very colorful Superman package. The Big Red S looks like it was printed using some metallic foil process.

And right beside it on he same shelf was the Batman cereal.

And then the Star Wars cereal, etc., etc.

All the boxes appear to be more expensive that the cereals inside.

I have to comment before reading any other comment.

1.  Thanks for this thread.  I like the cereal topic.
2.  Putting 10 packs of Splenda on already sweet Honey Nut Cheerios, you sir are a monster!

Anyone remember Sunflakes?  Like Frosted Flakes but with equal/phenylalanine on the flakes instead of sugar.  I ate the hell out of those back in the late 80s.

Is this stuff actually good?  It's like 8 bucks for a tiny pouch!

Also, not sure if granola counts as cereal but it's by far the best.  Can't let this thread go without a mention of the classic, sweet home farm:

Just got back to eating cereal again. The only one I can tolerate is Cheerios because it doesn't have the crazy amount of sugar that most of the rest does. I just picked up a box of Raisin Bran.  Though I was going to crap out my stomach I was in such pain.

That's why I like to treat cereal as a dessert at night or post-workout if I don't feel like eating rice/yams.
I hate the "healthy" cereals, they all taste like cardboard and hurt my stomach. The sugary ones taste good, but shouldn't be a breakfast food. I have no idea how parents are OK with their kids having cocoa puffs or cinnamon toast crunch for breakfast, but freak out if the kid drinks a soda. They're the same thing! One is liquid and one isn't.

"sugary" and "healthy" cereals ::)

oh brother, there are three types of cereal:

standard: ~25 g/oz carbs, low fat, low protein
granola: same, but high fat (5-10 g/oz)
"healthy": usually slightly higher in fat, has some soy protein too (~10 g/oz)

sugar ranges from about 5-15 grams per oz.  if the carbs don't come from sugar, they come from refined starch.  what's the fucking difference?  they have the same affect on your blood sugar.

micros are all shit, unless enriched.

all "healthy" means is it has a bit of soy protein added in, and may be enriched.  absolutely nothing to do with "health", whatsoever.  the only cereal that is really significantly different is granola, since it can have up to 2x the calories per serving, as it's coated in oil.

oh no, the cookie cereal has too much "sugar" ::) better reach for the special k!  that is, a bunch of ground crack that passes through your stomach in 2 seconds, reconstituted into flake form.
