I love CheeriOs, good dry for snackin, great with milk.
The proper* way to make (and eat) a bowl of Cheerios:
put Cheerios in large bowl. (about 2/3 full)
add sugar to taste
Add milk till the O’s shift off the bottom of the bowl.
Eat only O’s that are completely submerged in milk.
Push floatie Os down into milk with back of spoon.
Repeat till Nothing is left but sugary milk.
Drink!
I eat a bowl of Cheerios (banana, skim milk, no sugar) almost every morning. I bought a box of the organic kind (not really Cheerios, some other silly name) last week. They were pretty good, but a little crunchier. I looked at the box of multi-grain Cheerios, but they are a lot higher in sugar than the regular ones.
Not only do I eat them, but they are naturally the snack of choice for my almost 1 year old.
Same here. Right now I’m in a frosted shredded wheat phase, but I’ll be back to Cheerios soon enough. I always go back to Cheerios.
I prefer mine plain, for what it’s worth. Just milk. Though sometimes I also eat them dry, as a snack. Yum!
I used to put a little sugar on my Rice Krispies, and my answer is this: Because there isn’t anything sold in a box that tastes like plain Rice Krispies with a little sugar on them.
Cheerios are my default breakfast. Once in a while, they’re dinner instead.
I love Cheerios with blueberries. In the winter, it’s mostly dried blueberries. Sometimes, I’ll double up on the fruit and have blueberries and bananas on top. Dried cherries taste good on Cheerios, too.
I pour Cheerios in the bowl, add fruit du jour, then pour milk till you can just see it showing through the top layer of Cheerios. I might have added sugar to them as a kid, but no more. I don’t add sugar to much of anything (oatmeal is the exception).
And, yes, always Cheerios brand. I’ve tried store brands a couple of times, but they’re just not the same.
I almost always have a box of Cheerios in my pantry (I had a bowl for breakfast this morning). Occasionally I’ll buy the Publix brand, but more often than not I’ll be eating the cereal in the yellow box.
I had my mom buy nothing but Cheerios one year, when the prize inside was reproductions of Confederate Currency. I just had to have the whole set.
Back in the early '50’s, you put sugar on them. Them newfangled sweetened cereals weren’t allowed by some parents. But fresh strawberries, peaches, etc. were always special.
