His flakes, no matter how frosted, are sinful. ---

Fruity Pebbles (they used to have the best premiums), my mom worked (and still does) at General Mills. Our family got a lot of free cereal and were also a test family. We ate stuff no kid should ever have to eat. Chocolate and strawberry cereal together, blech. The worst was a product that never (thankfully) made it to market was called Disney Surprise Hot Oatmeal Cereal (boy, does that name stick in my head). It looked like normal oatmeal with gummi-esque figures of Disney characters. That is, until you added the hot water. The oatmeal would then turn into a grotesque red or blue or green color. \<\<\\>\> ---

I’m partial to the non-pre-sweetened cereals. My alltime favorite is Cheerios with a banana sliced on top. I can eat it for dinner! ---

I prefer a cereal _blend_. I mix Corn Total with Special K. I pour chocolate milk on it, and eat it all out of a Kellogg’s promotional NY Yankees plastic batting-helmet bowl. Yep: mixed cereal, chocolate milk, eaten out of a hat. You got a problem with that? 😛 ---

Frosted Mini Wheats, Banana Nut Crunch, and Clusters. Frosted Mini Wheats…yum. Maybe that’s what I’ll have for lunch. ---

Post Grape-nut Flakes! Or Wheaties, but with half and half instead of milk. Was there for the introduction of sweetened cereal, the above-mentioned ‘Tiger Frosteds’, but they tasted terrible then, and haven’t changed. Might have to try the Special K Red Berries, though… ---

Rice Chex. I try to get the no-name generic brand, since that’s the original.\* Second place to Frosted Mini Wheats. \*Rice Chex was made by Ralston Purina. They sold the brand to General Mills in order to concentrate on their business of making no-name brand cereal. Thus, if you get a no-name Chex clone, it comes from Ralston, the originators. ---

Grape Nuts and Total are my two cereals of choice 🙂 On a related note, why are they named Grape Nuts? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-cereal/149929.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-cereal/149929.md?page=3)
