Grape Nuts, Cheerios, Sugar Pops, Corn Flakes. In that order. 🙂 ---

I choose Shreddies, Cheerios, or Puffed Wheat. I like my cereal plain. 🙂 ---

Corn flakes with banana slices and sugar. Great stuff. ---

My innards like Frosted mini-wheats. My taste buds like Frosted Flakes (brand name or generic) All time favorite Post Oat Flakes. Sadly no longer available. We can get wheat flakes and corn flakes and rice flakes but no oat flakes. Oats always gotta be in some kind of crunchy clump nowadays. Lousy rotten focus groups. It’s not always about the crunch I tells ya! ---

> [@Nightsong](#): > > I’m a big fan of Cranberry Almond Crunch Ditto. I really love that stuff, but I rarely buy it. My breakfasts usually consist of 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt, 1/4 cup bran pellets, and 2 TBSP of raisins. It doesn’t sound fabulous, but it’s mainly yummy and healthy, too. Stonebow loves Lucky Charms. _shudder_ Even as a child, I never ate kiddie cereals. ---

Boo Berry. That’s why I get all excited around halloween- the only time they have it on shelves. Then cinnamon life. ---

My absolute favorite is King Vitamin, but it’s a little hard on the mouth, too. My second favorite is Cinnamon Puffins, but I can’t find that recently. ---

Cheerios. Plain. I don’t like the Cheerios with freeze-dried fruit because the O’s are sweetened, and when I want Cheerios I want regular old O’s. (The new yogurt Cheerios intrigue me, but those O’s are sweetened, too … I still might have to try them, though.) Second choice is Frosted Mini-Wheats. I know that I have a preference between Kellogg’s and Post, but I don’t remember what it is (I don’t buy it very often). If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll get Post’s Banana Nut Crunch. Last, but not least, every now and then I’ll be in the mood for “kid cereal” and I’ll get a variety pack – usually General Mills, even though they contain 3 kinds of Cheerios. Sometimes I’m in the mood for Fruit Loops or Rice Crispies (Kellogg’s), but usually if I want stuff like this I want Cocoa Puffs or Trix or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 🙂 ---

I can’t just pick _one_ favorite; depends what mood I’m in. Could be Cap’n Crunch or Quaker 100% Natural if I want something sweet, or Wheat Chex, Corn Flakes, or Shredded Wheat if I don’t. Another favorite is Fruit & Fiber peach flavor, but I rarely see it in stores anymore. A friend of mine always remarks that my cereal shelf looks like the one in Jerry’s apartment in _Seinfeld_. ---

Golden Grahams usually. I love Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch - but I can’t buy it, because it will get eaten before **I** get any. ---

Cracklin’ Oat Bran and Honey Bunches of Oats w/Almonds. I can get the latter in the super-duper size at Sam’s Club for about $6.
