People who grew up with the Cheerios in the Yellow box. Do you still eat them?

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!

*My opinion

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.

I loved those balls. I haven’t had those in 30 years, I bet.

Why would you put sugar on cereal? I never have. If I wanted sweeter cereal I’d buy sweet cereal.

They sure are; they are my dessert when I am following a food plan.

I don’t get regular Cheerios, but Honey Nut Cheerios are one of my favorites.

I actually prefer generic corn flakes to Kelloggs; we grew up on the store brand version of things and that’s one that stuck.

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. :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile:

I love my Cheerios!!! Gotta have em’ all the time with a little sugar on them! Yum-o! :smiley:

Hmm. Eat them. Good idea.

Might as well, they suck as “donut seeds”.

:stuck_out_tongue:

I still buy them regularly. Been eating them my entire life.

And I *don’t * put sugar on them!

Sugar on Cheerios? What a horrible idea. That’s what fresh fruit is for. Strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices work especially well.

  1. Pour Cheerios.
  2. Pour milk.
  3. Dump fruit on top.

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.

NO, let me repeat that, NO sugar. Cheerio’s/milk. That’s it, no discussion. Cheeriotio from the 50’s. Still my favorite breakfast bite.

I have a box of Cheerios on my kitchen counter right now, right between the box of Life and the bananas.

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.

They’re actually good in yogurt, too.

No sugar: Nestles Quik!

Ewwwwww! :smiley:

Dinner was Cheerios with dried blueberries and banana, BTW. Inspired by this very thread.

The O’s cereals from Cascadian Farm are actually the organic version of Cheerios. From answers.com :

Not that it makes them any better or worse, but they’re still Cheerios to me! :slight_smile:

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.
