Cinnamon toast vs Cap'n crunch in the final 4 the actual championship?

I'd argue its lucky charms vs crunch berries.

Lucky Charms should have been a 1 seed, and crunch berries is superior to regular captain crunch and should have had its 1 as well.

Lucky Charms is a trash cereal that is coasting on childhood memories of marshmallows being in a cereal was somehow something tasty and not one of the worst things cereal execs ever devised.

Not sure I'd go quite that far but I'm pretty surprised that Lucky Charms is on the verge of a championship game birth. It's a classic but I didn't see it going that far. It was never one of my favorites, I think it was the gray milk that it left.

There's hyperbole, then there's this junk. Listen, I'm not going to pretend that I like the stuff now as an adult, but "one of the worst things cereal execs ever devised"?? If creating a top 10 most sold in the US brand is a bad thing, I guess? I'm betting those guys made out handsomely.


#7 on this list, and this random Massachusetts radio station has never steered me wrong before.

I don't care how well it sells. I think marshmallows in cereals is gross. Even as a kid, I couldn't get on board with it. If I ranked the whole field of 64, it's coming in near the bottom.
