Report from the field. Though good, I was not blown away by the Honey Bunches of Cracklin Oats. Got soggy too quickly.

Still looking for the hemp plus, though.

Maple-Nut Oatmeal Crisp. The only problem is, I have never seen it in an American store.

**Quaker Oat Squares** just rock. Even when they get just a bit mushy, they’re still good. Plus they have no partially hydrogenated oils and stuff (last I checked).

Also chalk me up for another vote for **Cracklin’ Oat Bran** just cause it tastes good.

I must be boring. My favorite cereal is Wheat Chex.

Mmmmmm…(until they get soggy after which they are inedible)

There has only been one breakfast cereal and it’s name was “Fortified Oak Flakes”. Well, the “Fortified” part didn’t get added until around 1967 or 1968. The box had blue and green letters before the change, then went to a bland yellowish brown package showing some farmer hauling a load of oats.

I hear rumors that the brand persisted and featured an animated cookie in its later incarnations, proclaiming that it tasted just like oatmeal cookies. (What, did they add sugar? Yecch!)
