You all have apparently never eaten Rice Krispies Treats cereal. Most of the flavor of the snack without getting your fingers sticky. ---

Every day is a good day when you start it off with a box of **Peanut Butter Crunch**. The only bad thing is that it hurts the roof of your mouth. But it’s worth the pain. ---

WHAT ARE Y’ALL TALKING ABOUT?!?!?! The best cereal, hands down, is and always will be **Berry Berry Kix**. Not only are they tasty, they turn the milk strange colors, you can play games on the back of the boxes with them, and you can make Christmas decorations. Food and entertainment! It’s like dinner theatre… IN A BOX! ---

Cap’n Crunch with Crunch Berries That is all. ---

Anything with the word ‘crunch’ in it tends to be of a superior cereal status, at least in my experience, but the best, as far as I’m concerned is resoundingly **French Toast Crunch**. Other than that, I’d just like to say that cereal is amazing and that if it weren’t for cereal, I’d probably be dead now (It’s made up probably 68% of my diet since I was old enough to eat it) That said, God bless cereal and good night. ---

In the with-milk category, nothing can touch Cap’n Crunch with Crunch Berries. So everybody just acknowledge that **porcupine** got it right. In the straight-from-the-box category, Frosted Mini-Wheats are slightly better than CCwCB. ---

Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one who digs **Very Berry Kix**. I’ve only had it once, at my SIL’s house, but it’s goddamn tasty! I also like **Raisin Bran Crunch** (and Post Raisin Bran). **Grape Nuts** are only good in Grape-Nut pudding. **Cinnamon Toast Crunch** is like crack to me. I can’t ever eat less than three bowls in one sitting. And the boxes are so _tiny_! I remember **Waffle-Os** , too - regular and blueberry. But the cereal that reigned god-like over the Land of Breakfast Goodness, for an all-too-brief period of time, is… [Cröønchy Stars](http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/muppets/food.shtml#Croonchy%20Stars%20(1988-1989)) They’re cinnamonamøny. They’re star-shaped. They got the Swedish Chef on the box. I defy anyone here to top this. It just can’t be done. ---

Another **Quisp** fan here. But I’ll also agree with the OP that the **Buzz Blasts** are shockingly good (and multi-grain so they’re good _for you_[sub] at least that’s what I tell myself[/sub]). ---

Wow, tried to post yesterday, got logged out twice, gave up. Came back today and my favorite STILL isn’t mentioned. **Golden Grahams**!!! so light, so crunchy, so yummy… the perfect cereal. Cracklin’ Oat Bran is half of the perfect cereal. It’s so good on the way **in**. But on the way **out** … let’s just say you shouldn’t eat it before a long roadtrip, or jury duty, or performing a David Blaine trick. Honorable mention to: Reese’s Puffs, Rice Krispie Treats cereal, Oreo-O’s, Cookie Crisp, Banana Nut Crunch, “Mueslix Golden Crunch” (which sadly seems not to be made anymore). ---

[Yessir, it’ll go down in the annals of my life that the best thread I’ve ever created is one in which the merits of one breakfast cereal are debated against those of another. Quite a bullet point on the ol’ resume!] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dijon Warlock \* > \*\*God, I miss TEAM Flakes. \*\* YES!! **TEAM Flakes** , the all-time best cereal in the world. Do you think that if enough of us asked they’d bring 'em back? My sister and I would each buy multiple cases per year, easily. Yum. These days I stick with Grape Nuts or Wheat Chex. ManiacOne[sup]TM[/sup], however, prefers Cinnamon Life for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
