Strawberry Stuffed Shredded Wheat. I just empty the whole box into a big bowl and eat it and suffer the rest of the day violently. ---

> [@](#): > > 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. What’s the other main flavoring, loops? Otherwise, it’s very clearly Frosted Mini Wheats that takes home the cereal prize. Golden Grahams come in second place. Anything like Cap’n Crunch or Froot Loops that tears the inside of my mouth up like a mouthful of circular saws gets ejected from the competition, no matter how tasty those little bladed horrors may be.

I’ve alwasy loved Quisp. But my favorite has got to be blue corn flakes, made from blue corn. Doesn’t matter what brand; theres not many. ---

I like Post’s Cranberry Almond Crunch, myself. Corn flakes, little granola-type clusters, slivered almonds, and dried cranberries. Oooh, sweet and just a bit tart. Great dry or not. Dry, though, best cereal is Honey Nut Cheerios (or a knockoff thereof). Put me down as a Grape-Nuts fan. So good, especially in yogurt. ---

My favorite is also Kellogg’s Cracklin’ Oat Bran. Yeah, its got fat in it, but its also got fiber which makes it okay. ---

I should qualify my answer. Yes, I really like Kashi Good Friends (with twigs!). My ideal bowl of cereal, however, is pumpkin granola from Fresh Fields. Kashi Good Friends (with twigs!) = Favorite Boxed Cereal pumpkin granola= Favorite Bulk Cereal ---

Gahhhh! Cereal that’s good for you is… is… wrong! I can’t believe my eyes: _pumpkin_ granola?!?! Look, if it makes you more regular, then yippee for you. But unless it’s loaded with sugar or at least contains a whole bunch of artificial flavorings, then it’s nothing more than glorified trail mix. Ya want healthy junk, go chomp some $%%^ gorp! 🙂 ---

**Quaker Oatmeal Squares** are addictive right out of the box. They get too mushy in milk. However, I do like my **Frosted Flakes** somewhat mushy. I like to pour the milk on and let it sit while I make toast. That Buzz Lightyear cereal is nasty, though! Even my kids wouldn’t eat it. Sheri ---

Nature’s Path **[Hemp Plus Granola](http://www.naturespath.com/asp/prodinfo.asp?mode=zoom&prodid=79&prodname=Organic+Hemp+Plus+Granola&bigpic=hempplus400w%2Ejpg)**. With real honest-to-God HEMP, that’s right, _Cannabis sativa_. In addition to its unique ingredient, it just happens to be the most delicious cereal I’ve ever tasted in my whole life. The flavor is heavenly; I can’t get enough of it. DEA, back off! You can have my Hemp Plus cereal when you pry it from my cold dead jaws! ---

I have to vote for either the Reeses cereal or the Nesquick cereal. Apprantly **Tim the Enchanter** thinks that they are disgusting, but I’m all for them. Plenty of sugar, games to play, and with Nesquick, chocolate milk to drink afterwards. ---

dan, I don’t know what gorp is but if it’s mildly sweet, can be put in a bowl, have some milk poured on it and crunchy, send it my way! …And you say glorified trail mix like that’s a _bad_ thing! ---

Gorp’s trail mix, Juanita. What ya do is mix up some granola, some berries, some chocolate, and some raisins. It’s great if you’re hiking the Andes. But for cereal? Man, I’m not that old. I don’t need to be that regular. 🙂 ---

Whoa! You alll are wack for sugar snacks. Why let the grain product get in the way of all the sugar and fat? Just dump some maple syrup on some lard, and call it breakfast, why doncha? For my money, few things beat properly cooked oatmeal. Also, it helps if you’ve picked oats of the bush that morning, and then milled them using wind power, like I do. That way you can throw in the extra twigs salvaged from the Kashi for maximum crunchiness. ---

Like Max Carnage, my two favorites are now off the market. - **Bigg Mixx** , we hardly knew ye. I blame the ad campaign for the failure of it to catch on. “Let’s make the mascot a combination chicken/moose/wolf/pig. If some freaky-looking mutant creature doesn’t get people eating our cereal, I don’t know what will!” - **Smurfberry Crunch**. No justifiaction needed, although [the Brunching Shuttlecocks](http://www.brunching.com/ratings/rate-cereal5.html) back me up on this one. ---
