Without question, Frosted Flakes are the best cold cereal ever made. A distant second would go to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but only if eaten dry. In the “also mentioned” category are Captain Crunch Peanut Butter and Honey Comb. There is no room for negotiation. * * * The overwhelming majority of people have more than the average (mean) number of legs. – E. Grebenik ---

As far as sugary cereals go, my votes go to Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops. But I eat Oat Bran Flakes! Which are actually suprisingly good, except for the few burnt flakes that I always pick out because I’m paranoid they might be bug parts. ---

I was a mutant even as a child. While everyone around me was enjoying various Marshmallow, chocolate and other pure sugar cereals, I was old school: Rice Krispies. Corn Flakes. In a pinch, Frosted Flakes, though even then I thought them to be a tad too sweet. My taets have yet to change to this day. * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

With milk, for breakfast: Apple Jacks, maybe Froot Loops. The kinds with marshmallows are OK, too, but my wife always digs all of the marshmallows out first and eats them separately. To eat straight out of the box, always Frosted Mini-Wheats, one of nature’s perfect foods. * * * …but when you get blue, and you’ve lost all your dreams, there’s nothing like a campfire and a can of beans! ---

Corn Bran, or Corn Crunch, or whatever the hell they call it now. Gotta be careful with that one. Makes me shit like a dinosaur. ---

Peanutbutter Cap’n Crunch * * * Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. ---

Cinnamon Apple Cheerios. I always seem to eat them all out of the box, I have never managed to eat them with milk, Alpha-bits are probably the runner up. I also like to eat cereal with milk as a late night snack. * * * You want brilliance BEFORE I’ve had my coffee!!! ---

Anything with lots of sugar & I keep cereal in the ice box, its always major crispy then. Reminds me of the subject I brought up here once about what do you put in first, cereal or Milk? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cereal-killer-or-killer-cereal/12004.md?page=1)
