I love cereal and milk. Love it! But to me, a relative dieter, a portion-control wannabe, cereal is a really very dangerous sort of food- one bowl never seems quite enough and, a few bowls later, I’m dangerously close to consuming half the box or more. Most of the time, I manage to stop after maybe two bowls or so, however, there are a couple cereals where, given world enough and time, I could easily polish off a whole box. One is oatmeal crisp, oh my god! The others are honey bunches of oats and, although it’s relatively more filling, honey nut cheerios. I find flake-based cereals to seem less substantial than grainy-type cereals, so I always wind up eating more flake-cereal than anything else. What cereal could you easily eat a whole box of? ---

Peanut Butter Crunch, Froot Loops, Lucky Charms…shall I go on? 😃 ---

Captain Crunch, no berries. Frosted Flakes. Waffle Crisp. ---

Cap’n Crunch, Golden Crisp (used to be Sugar Crisp), Lucky Charms. I’d say Raisin Bran, but it really isn’t wise to eat more than one bowl of that stuff. ---

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or rather, the generic version of it. Two bowls is my limit, but _cold_ milk and that cereal is like ambrosia to me. ---

I could easily down an entire box of Fruity or Cocoa Pebbles or their Rice Krispies counterparts. ---

Could?? There were times in college where we’d stay up all night studying while drinking Jolt Cola and eating entire boxes of Golden Grahams. At this point in my life, however, I cannot buy Golden Grahams because I know the whole box will be gone within a day and we need our cereals to last a little longer than that now. ---

I must second Cinnamon Toast Crunch, dry, straight from the box. With milk? This might be weird, but I can down a box of Frosted Mini Wheats in no time when I feel like it… ---

Cookie Crisp. There’s a reason I don’t ever buy it… ---

Cocoa Pebbles, Cap’n Crunch PNut Butter Crunch, Frosted Mini Wheats This is why I almost never eat cereal and milk: no control. ---

Oh’s! 🙂 and Generic Cinnamon Toast Crunch too 😛 But Oh’s win because they are cheaper, and they stay crunchy :eek: in milk! ---

Post’s Cranberry Almond cereal. I wouldn’t eat a box in a sitting but I could totally eat one in a day if I didn’t stop myself. ---

Mmm! Malt-O-Meal came out with a new (maybe it’s not, but I saw it for the first time about a month ago) cereal called “ **Blueberry Muffin Top** ”. It tastes _really_ blueberryey (how’s that for a made up word?), and is just like CTC, with a different flavor. I’m pretty sure I could eat a whole bag (probably not of the jumbo, though!). ---

My favorite are Fruity Pebbles, but that would be a bit hard to polish off a full box of. I’ll go for Cap’n Crunch and Apple Jacks instead (assuming I didn’t have to go for the huge honking box versions.) ---

The Cracklin’ Oat Bran that existed in the late 80’s-early 90’s before evil nazi marketing people decided it would be better with all the oatmeal cookie flavor sucked out of it. Second would be Cap’n Crunch Oops All Berries which was marketed a few years back. Nothing but Crunch Berries in the entire box. It’s almost as good as if Spaghetti-O’s would come out with All Meatballs and Sauce. I love too much of a good thing. Lucky Charms All Marshmallows would be good too. ---

I forgot all about cinnamon toast crunch! I used to ride boxes and boxes of that in college, all the way into stomachache land… mmmmm… the most magical land of all… maybe I’ll pick some up tomorrow… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cereal-you-could-down-a-whole-box-of-in-one-sitting/393681.md?page=2)
