In your opinion, what are/were the best and worst cold breakfast cereals out there. No homemade concoctions, please. My best would be Nabisco Shredded Wheat(_not_ Mini Wheats). I break up a couple wheat bricks into 4 or 5 pieces each, pour on the milk and munch away. The worst would have to be puffed rice of any brand-no flavor, and instant sog. ---

Always been a big fan of Cheerios. Never a big fan of Cap’n Crunch Palate Shredders. ---

I like shredded wheat, too! Though I usually eat Frosted Mini-Wheats. Sometimes with a sprinkle of nutty granola. I would love to scarf down a huge bowl of granola every morning, but it’s horrifically fattening. ---

You guys are far too healthy. The best is Count Chocula and the worst is Grape Nuts. This is not open for debate. 🆒 ---

Is it just me, or did all the flavor go out of shredded wheat some years back? Tastes like insulation to me now, but way back when it had a deliciously wheaty flavor. Anyway, best would be the magically delicious Lucky Charms. Worst would be … well kind of a 3 way tie between granola, muesli type stuff, and Rice Krispies, though I do like the little guys Snap, Crackle and Pop. ---

I alternate between Honey Nut Cheerios and Frosted Flakes. Everything else ties for worst. ---

When I was a kid, I liked all the kid cereals like Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, etc. Nowadays I prefer shredded wheat or Chex cereals, or just a granola of some sort. ---

The best is lucky charms when you take out all of those pesky grain pieces. Then you’re riding the rainbow road to charmville. ETA: The worst is…well…someone has to eat those grain pieces. ---

Classic Cheerios. ---

My favorite is Heritage (can’t recall the maker at the moment - I get them at Trader Joes). The only flake cereal with any real taste and it holds up to milk. Also like Joe-O’s better than Cheerios. Least favorite - been a long time since I’ve eaten cereal I don’t like but had a terrible time with Cap’n Crunch shredding my mouth the one time I tried it as a kid - that put me right off anything resembling it. I see **kaylasdad** enjoyed the same educational experience. ---

Lucky Charms are amazing, but my vote for best goes to original Trix flavor. New Trix is awful. Original Froot Loops were good, too. Worst: All-Bran. It’s like your cat ate a cardboard box, coughed up a box-ball, and you dried it and poured milk over it—or so I imagine. ---

Kellogg’s Raisin Bran is the best. Worst: All-Bran. ---

Best: Wheat Chex (with a little bit of sugar sprinkled over it.) Worst: Probably one of those super-duper bran colon blow type cereals. ---
