I love Grape Nuts, with sliced green grapes and milk warmed in the microwave. 🙂 My nominee is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It does downright evil things to milk. ---

Trader Joe’s raisin brain. An unholy mix of cardboard and kitty litter. I love Grape Nuts, they taste just like wild hickory… okay point taken. ---

Grape Nuts are great, they just need milk, honey, and warming up before you attempt to eat them. Gets them nice and squishy. I’ve gotta add to the peanut butter cereal pile-on. Grotesque. ---

> [@RadicalPi](#): > > Grape Nuts. Ugh. A memory that is burned in my mind from when I was very young: my mother bought us kids Grape Nuts, and wanted us to eat it because it was healthy. Several days in a row she attempted to cajole us to eat it, telling us how big and strong it would make us, how good it was for us. We wanted no part of it, but she kept trying. Then, finally, she tasted it herself. We were never served Grape Nuts again. ---

Sounds like Weetabix, which I love. My personal anti-favorite is probably Fruity Pebbles, which (I recall) tasted like nothing found in nature and became soggy and somewhat slimy almost immediately upon coming into contact with milk. ---

Great posts. But grits are great with cheese (I can’t believe I just said that). And I do like a box of Lucky Charms once in a while. After all, they’re magically delicious! ---

I didn’t learn that they were supposed to be served in the manner of Shredded Wheat until much later. Weetabix has to be my least favorite breakfast cereal. They sell it on some stores where I live so I decided to try it thinking it was going to be the British version of Shredded Wheat. It wasn’t. It was like eating soggy cardboard. I only finished the box because I thought maybe the taste would grow on me (it didn’t) and I hate wasting food. ---

Shredded Wheat. It’s Brillo made out of wheat. Not rich flavorful wheat either. It only tastes like wheat enough to make you realize it would be better if it was totally flavorless. ---

I am a huge cereal fan. Love it covered in sugar, love it without. I love Grape-nuts, those wheatabix biscuits (warm with butter and a sprinkle of spice), any variety of Cheerio. But I loathe Cinnamon Toast Crunch. They taste fine at first, but after a few bites I taste wood. Sugary, cinnamony wood. ---

Cheerios. I know they have been around for a long time, a fact I find unexplainable. Think of life preservers shrunk down to the size that would fit creatures an inch tall. I have never eaten a life preserver, but having eaten Cheerios, I don’t need to.
