[Inspiring thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=763377&highlight=Breakfast+Cereal) I love Post’s Great Grains-all that nutty/fruity/crunchy goodness. I usually serve it in my yogurt however. This is despite finding half-a-bee in a box once. ---

My fave was Cap’n Crunch’s Vanilla Crunch (had a lady whale on the front of the box). Now, I just eat Walmart knock-off Rice Krispies. Not bad. ---

I really enjoy Life cereal and the simple nothingness of either Cherrios or Corn Flakes. ---

Life is my current favorite, but the short-lived maple-and-brown-sugar Life was even better. I think they still theoretically make it, but if so, it’s in very few stores. ---

I don’t eat much cereal but when I do it’s mostly Frosted Flakes. They’re…well, you know. I loved Trix when I was a kid. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > Honey Nut Cheerios I can’t see those without thinking of Omar from “The Wire”. I eat Crispix most weekday mornings. Sometimes I’ll go for Cheerios. I like to add chopped dried dates to my Cheerios. Once in a while I’ll pick up a box of Grape Nuts or Special K. But Crispix is my default. ---

I’ve always loved Golden Grahams, except that they have a crisp-life of about 30 seconds in milk, so you have to put about two spoons,worth in at a time then eat and repeat. ---

I haven’t had it in decades, but King Vitaman was my favorite, even though it would tear the hell out of your mouth. Also cinnamon Puffins, Cracklin’ Oat Bran, and Mini-Wheats. ---

Wheat Chex. Don’t particularly care for Rice or Corn Chex, but gimme the Wheat Chex. ---

Kashi Island Vanilla wheat biscuits. Perfect amount of sweetness for me. ---

For sugary it’s Cap’n Crunch all the way. For sorta healthy it’s Basic4. ---

I generally alternate between Frosted Flakes and Honey Nut Cheerios. ---

As a kid in the 70s I ate all sorts of teeth-rotting fare, all the Cap’n Crunches, the ‘Monster’ cereals (including Fruit Brute, once, Bleeech!) Quisp and Quake, and the major Kelloggs stuff (never liked Post much). Becoming diabetic I tend to stay away from most _Adm Sugarman’s Sugar Coated Chocolate Sugar Lumps_ flavors these days. 😃 Life and Kix are ok, but mostly stuff like Wheaties, Corn Flakes, Special K with Berries, Shredded Wheat etc. Always name brands, never generic, and usually with a generous amount of Splenda of course… ---

Honey Smacks. They used to be called Sugar Smacks, until they reasoned that Honey Smacks sounds healthier. ---

Frosted spoon-sized mini-wheats, usually the store brand or generics. Also store brand Grape-Nuts but I usually let them soak and warm them in the microwave to make a porridge. ---

I don’t think they make it anymore but my favorite was S’Morz. Growing up it was Fruity Pebbles (hated Cocoa Pebbles!) or Apple Jacks. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-breakfast-cereal/726279.md?page=2)
