Cinnamon Toast Crunch is easily the best cereal of all time. I shudder to think of how much of that I've eaten over my lifetime. It's also the rare cereal that's just as good dry as it is with milk.

Also just as filling as a bowl of air.

That’s why you put extra milk in so you have more deliciously flavoured milk to drink and it fills you up more.

I’ve been on a kick of a bowl of multi grain Cheerios as an entree followed by a half bowl of cinnamon toast crunch for desert.

Cereal selection sucks nowadays. Tiny little section and half of it is some shredded cardboard health crap.

But all I really want is capn crunch with crunch berries. Haven’t had it in years and years.

The first 3 bites of the Cheerios. When the spoon full is topped with crunchy rings still.

My favorite cereal is Froot Loops, but you really gotta let them soak. No one wants blood in their cereal.

Any good filling cereal out there?

I like the quickness of cereal in the morning but I hate being hungry an hour later unlike eggs and bacon or something.

I sometimes have a vector knock off and it works out ok.

Chex has a new blueberry flavour available, it’s pretty good. Much better than the very berry Cheerios.

I was down in Texas a couple years ago and went in to a Piggly Wiggly or some nonsense grocery chain and the cereal aisle was absolutely amazing. I would say 80% of the cereals were marshmallow or chocolate based. Caramel Corn Captain Crunch, All berries Captain Crunch, Ice Cream Pebbles, every cartoon character...

I used to bring back 10 to 12 boxes of cereal from every trip to the States, not so much now. Likely due to the fact that I do not want to consume huge amounts of milk anymore.

Anyways, the Frankenberry and Count Chocula they have been selling here during Halloween are definitely not the same recipe. They changed it, messed it up and I actually threw half a box in the garbage last year.

American Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles were made from rice, far superior than the corn Pebbles we got in Canada for a while.

I remember when I went to Seattle about 4-5 years ago I made it a mission to hunt down a box of Cookie Crisp. I remember always seeing the commercial and begging my parents to get me it but always being told they couldn't find it. I didn't understand back then that Canada and the States didn't get the same cereals. Now it's available in Canada.

Ummm....You're parents were lying to you. I used to eat that stuff all the time as a kid in the 80s in Calgary. It looks like they've also changed the recipe to make it healthier. The OG recipe was literally just small cookies. That's probably why your parents wouldn't give it to you.

It's weird, although my parents didn't withhold these ultra sugary cereals from me, I typically chose stuff like Crispix instead.

Me too. Didn't like too much sugar in my cereal.

It might have been available in Calgary and other big cities but not Northern Manitoba. My parents also weren't super strict with what cereals I could eat so I doubt that's why they told me they couldn't find it.

My dad grew up in Flin Flon, I'm pretty sure they just ate rocks for breakfast... or pickerel.
