This is going to sound odd, but I really like the regular version of Fiber One. As for the more non-healthy cereals: Cinnamon Toast Crunch was always one of my favorites, with that sweet and slightly salty cinnamon flavor to it. I would put extra milk in my bowl so I could drink up that horchata-like milk that would be leftover after having eaten the cereal. Also, Life. As for the flaky cereals, Special K was the only one I really liked. I’m not into corn flakes, don’t like Raisin Bran. And none of those puffed cereals or Cheerios-type cereals ever did it for me. I could never understand what people liked about plain Cheerios. ---

I can eat a box of Fruity Pebbles at one sitting. I’m also a fan of Golden Grahams, Cap’n Crunch (original) and Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch. I continue to lament the loss of Buc Wheats when I was a kid; I’m not really a fan of maple, and probably didn’t even realize that it had maple flavoring at the time, but man did I love Buc Wheats. ---

I almost always have cereal sitting around - it makes for a good breakfast for work (when I didn’t work at home). I usually have a rotation: Frosted Flakes Cocoa Puffs Apple Jacks Golden Grahams Every once in a great while I go a little nuts and get Fruit Loops. Husband will only eat Captain Crunch. Or is it Cap’n Crunch? Whatever. Only cereal he eats. ---

I like a 3 way mixture between Cheerios, Raisin Bran, and Lucky Charms. Straight up LC is too sweet for me. ---

Great Grains is the One for me now (lost 63 lbs. eating the stuff daily, w/ yogurt)-it is softer than generic granola tends to be. Any time my local grocery chain has the stuff on a 2 for 1 deal I snap up as many as I am allowed. ---

Life - I like to let it get soggy and put too much sugar on it. Oatmeal - I like it thick, again with too much sugar on it. ---

I can’t believe all the love for my favorite, Peanut Butter Crunch. One of the joys of being an adult is that I can have Peanut Butter Crunch for breakfast every day if I like. I usually keep at least a five box stock on hand. Others I enjoy include Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Frosted Mini-Wheats with Fruit in the Middle, and the Honey Nut or Maple flavors of Quaker Oatmeal Crunch.
