I like Grape Nuts, too - warm milk and a bunch of sugar. I haven’t have them years. I seem to recall they stick in my back teeth.
Silly draddit! Trix are for kids!
And the broken fillings.
I think it’s more like chewing a loofa.
I don’t like the sweet stuff, and cream of wheat is nasty, but I do like oatmeal and all the flakes I’ve tried. I’ll add my own sugar and fruit, thanks.
Haven’t read the whole thread, but I used to like AlphaBits. Little letters. Do they still make that?
Hmm, maybeMilk and Honey Original Café Mix. But really, Raisin Bran. I hate raisins. Terrible cereal.
I’m amazed it took long for this to get mentioned. I’ve been able to finish a bowl, at least, of most of the ones mentioned here, but I couldn’t get past 2 spoonfuls of this nasty-ass concoction. I definitely did not Digg-um.
Kix, the disappointment of my childhood. My folks allowed us to eat “sugar cereals” only on Saturday, while we watched cartoons. The rest of the week it was Rice Krispies, Cheerios, or Cream of Wheat (in the winter). Kix advertised like crazy during Saturday morning cartoons, and Mom got us a box once.
A) They taste like cardboard and despair
B) They aren’t a “sugar cereal”. There’s no glaze, or coating, or marshmallows, or anything.
C) Mom refused to accept either argument A or B, leaving us stuck eating them, seasoned only with our tears, every Saturday until they were gone and we could return to the wholesome goodness of Froot Loops or Cap’n Crunch.
Back in the 80’s Grape Nuts sponsored a bike ride in Boston. Gave everyone a free sample (one of those mini-boxes) of Grape Nuts before the ride started. Eating Grape Nuts then hopping on a bike for 35 miles = very bad idea. The lines at the porta-potties at the end of the ride were incredible. Fortunately, I already thought Grape Nuts were vile and didn’t eat mine…
I wasn’t aware anyone ate those bran twig cereals. But they are an essential ingredient in baking the best bran muffins.
I use to get free food from the church. They had a blue bin where people put food they didn’t want, and anyone could take things out of it.
Someone must have donated a couple of cases one month, and I think every box of that stuff ended up in the blue bin.
Only thing worse is Puffed Wheat. Which I was forced to eat as a child whilst dieting. Made so much better by the saccharine tablet dissolved in 1/2 cup of skim milk!
First of all, all y’all are wrong, Grape Nuts rock!
Froot Loops are the worst of the $0.59/10 gallon bag cereal knockoff doused in fruit air-freshener.
Lucky Charms & any other marshmallow cereal are like cuttings from Satan’s hemorrhoid.
Scrapple. In second place, scrapple. Third place, scrapple. In fact, scrapple makes up the entire top ten. But I suspect that’s only because I’ve never tried liver mush or head cheese. Nothing in the cold cereal aisle can possibly compete with animal innards ground to a mush and mixed with filler.
This.
That depends. What is the filler?
And what do YOU eat at breakfast, Hmmmmmmmmm?
Not true, just so you know. Kellogg’s has apparently been dispelling this rumor since at least 2011.
Every week, the canteen at work sets out an assortment of cereals. Inevitably, after a few days the only thing left is a bunch of dejected-looking containers of Kellogg’s Krave. I tried it once: flavorless pillows of powdered grain filled with some sort of chemical analogue of chocolate pudding. It’s Krap. IMO.
The worst cereal I’ve actually tried was some sort of shredded wheat, which I usually like okay, but it was sweetened. It wasn’t horrible but I prefer it unsweetened.
If I’d ever actually tried Froot Loops, I’d probably hate them, but they look and smell disgusting to me, so I’ve never actually tried them.
Yuck. Around here in most diners, if they have scrapple at all it is usually scrambled eggs mixed with chopped up bacon, sausage and ham. The gimmick is, it’s what’s left on the grill after all the other breakfasts are cooked but it isn’t literally that.
