The Top Ten Cereals of all Time

HAHA "It is the color of fetus. Enough said."

10). I hate Frosted Flakes!

9). Corn Pops are a different cereal in Canada, Same name, Same Box, Different Cereal.

. Golden Grahams, are good.

7). Honey Nut Cherios, Good stuff

6). Lucky Charms - Candy in a box

5). Cinnamon Toast Crunch - I'd rather have real cinnamon toast

4). We don't get Cocoa Krispies either although lately (just this year) we've had a NEW variety called Chocolate Rice Krispies which I'm sure is the same thing - my kids hated it, I had to force them to eat it because they made me buy it!

3). I've never seen Fruity Pebbles in Canada.

2). I've never even heard of Peanut Butter Crunch - but we do get "Reese Peanut Butter" cereal

1). Sometimes you can find Count Choculas in the store but rarely and almost never. We do have Neslie Quick Cereal though but it doesn't have marshmellos. And don't have Boo Berry or Frankenberry Cereal

I used to like sugary/chocolate-y/marshmallow cereals up until about age 10. Then I started detesting them. I do not know why - they felt excessively sweet. Bland is the new sweet, I guess. My personal top 5:

5. Rice Krispies
4. Corn Flakes
3. Cheerios
2. Honey Bunches of Oats
1. Banana Nut Crunch

I've been to the states many times, and we actually generally bring back boxes of Cereal, because we don't get them here

4. Lucky Charms
3. Oatmeal Crisp
2. Kix
1. Rice crispies treats

We used to love Rice Crispies treats so much, we'd actually buy them in bulk to bring back to Canada, it's basically like it sounds, crumbled up rice crispy squares, dried out to be made crunchy, and boxed up. Never sure how they pulled it off, because actual rice crispy squares are generally somewhat hard to bite into, and the cereal itself had the softness of biting into a regular spoonful of the original Cereal.

I miss that cereal.

@Hive13 (i had just quoted, but the quote system messed up)

That's essentially the cereal, but in cereal form (See the link I posted)

Now, think about a rice crispy square. When it's fresh or an hour or two later, matters not. You pick it up, and bite into it. The marshmellow and cooked rice crispies make it somewhat hardened. It's still easy to bite into, but the marshmellow especially makes it difficult. The way the cereal works is it takes the delicious flavour of those squares, and puts it with the softness of just regular rice crispies.

Basically.. think small bite-sized clusteres of rice crispy squares(or treats) as cereal.

@Sagemind I agree with most of your comments except Frosted Flakes. I like them and plain corn flakes too. And Golden Grahams, not only are they good , so are Graham Crackers.

All the junk cereals are very expensive, it seems like the more sugar is put in them the higher the price. I try to pay no more than around 60 cents per 100 grams but cereals like Lucky Charms are closer to $1.50. My guilty pleasure is catching Fruit Loops on sale.

And is anyone else old enough to remember how corn pops used to be marketed. When they were called Sugar Corn Pops and their marketing jingle went as follows

"Oh the pops are sweeter and the taste is new, They're shot with sugar through and through. Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops, sugar pops are tops" (Sometime's my trivial memory is a curse). I'd like to see them try that one now. Now they're marketed as nutritious. Ha
