It’s **Buzz Blasts**. They just simply rock. They have tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of sugar in them. And they stay crunchy in milk. Man, they’re so good I’ll go back to eating the whole bowl then slurping up the mutated milk! MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Buzz Blasts. You know, based on the **Toy Story** movies and subsequent cartoons. The package says it’s a multi-grain cereal, too! So obviously it’s good for me. And good for my tummy. And my brain. And… Mmmmmmmmmmmm. must. buy. more. ---

Sorry man I gotta disagree. The \*\* BEST \*\* cereal ever has got to be **FROOT LOOPS**. Any creal with an deliberate mis-spelling of of one of the main flavourings has got to be good… plus it’s loaded with sugar. MMMMMmmmm sugar buzz. As an added bonus when your done you can drink the yummy frooty flavoured milk left at the bottom of your bowl 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > FROOT LOOPS. Any creal with an deliberate mis-spelling of of one of the main flavourings has got to be good… Heh! Heh! You actually believe that they have fruit flavoring. They misspelled _nothing_. It’s flavored with **froot**. ---

Wrong. Raisin Bran Crunch is the best damn cereal ever. Hands down. No questions. New topic. ---

You’re all wrong. Anything that needs a cartoon character to help market it just tain’t worth eatin’. You prolly fantasize about Tony the Tiger while eating his flakes. Weirdos. Kellogg’s Cracklin’ Oat Bran I eat it like popcorn, straight outta the box. No milk. No bowl. Box --\> Hand --\> Mouth --\> Eat --\> Heaven. Shaped like dog food. Tastes like ambrosia. Food of the Gods. I am eating it by the handful right now. ---

I sincerely enjoy Cracklin’ oat bran, but sorry, gotta say that the best cereal is Frosted Flakes. Corn, and sugar, what a combo! Honey bunches of Oats with almonds come in a close second. ~V ---

Everyone knows **Fruity Pebbles** is the best cereal ever. No ridiculous crunchiness for the sake of crunchiness here, just a delicious fruity sludge. nums ---

First of all, if it has a cartoon character on it, it’s automatically above those pretentious good-for-ya cereals! Second of all - Buzz Blasts stay crunchy! As much as I like Fruity Pebbles, they get all soggy in like .03 seconds. Eww. These kick ASS, I’m telling ya! ---

My favorite cereal is any assortment of Chex-types thingies, drenched in butter and nice salty, garlicky seasonings. It’s for breakfast! It’s for dinner! It’s the all-around, perfect-anytime miracle food deluxe! MMMMmmmm. Gotta go shopping. ~karol ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by VDarlin \* > **[…] Frosted Flakes. Corn, and sugar, what a combo!** Something to consider: Many adults eat cornflakes with sugar. Often lots of sugar. Essentially, they’re making do-it-yourself Frosted Flakes, right? (Except that the real FF mysteriously taste better.) Kellogg’s could have taken the same cereal, packaged it without the tiger on the box, and marketed it as a morning time-saver for busy people: no more messing around with the sugar bowl! But they put the tiger on the box and now it is forever enshrined as a kids’ cereal, and the boys in Battle Creek have even had marketing campaigns trying to convince adults that they won’t spontaneously combust with embarrassment if they eat it as a snack. The (sometimes unintended) power of marketing… ---

What is wrong with all of you people? The best cereal ever is **Frosted Mini-Wheats**. Period, pencils down. I don’t even know why it’s being discussed. ---

Who knew this would turn into a smack down Great Debate? Anyway, enough with this nonsense. Raisin Bran = nasty. I have never been able to get down a whole bowl without running to the bathroom to throw up. The only thing worse is Grape Nuts although I don’t think I will see anyone picking that as a winner here. In case you want to know the best cereal, it is Honey Bunches of Oats. Good for kids and grownups alike, sweet but not too sweet, and nice and crunchy. I’m sure you all knew that already but just forgot. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-damn-cereal-evah/120163.md?page=2)
