My cat’s breath smells like Raisin Bran.

What does Kellogg’s Raisin Bran taste like after you pour it in a bowl, pour on the milk, and let it sit out for 20 years?

While an old thread, it still seems perfectly relevant. But we now have a preferred forum for food. So off to Cafe society it goes.

Welcome to the straight dope message board, @degarmo5 .

I prefer [Raisin Nut Bran](https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=305), where the raisins are covered with nus.

A yummy variant is Raisin Wheats.

I believe there’s a Kellogg’s brand boycott now. Workers there are on strike due to poor benefits.

I prefer Post anyway. The Kellogg’s spokescharacter, the Sun, promises “more plump, juicy raisins” but I happen to like the hard chewy desiccated kind.

Have you ever read the Nutrition Info on the side of _any_ Raisin Bran box? TONS of added sugar.

There must be something about the taste of bran that requires a shitload of white sugar to make it palatable. I think any bran cereal has over 50x as much as the cereals I eat.
