Whar Raisin Nut Bran? The greatest of them all, Smart Start, didn't even make the cut. Is there a Cereal NIT?

Let’s be real…nobody has ever had Cinnamon Life cereal. The only reason to have any of the Life cereals is for party mix, and you don’t use Cinnamon Life in PMix.

Wheaties is just hot garbage, unless you put a ton of sugar on it.

I've actually had it. It's pretty damn tasty

But the south end of a northbound skunk would taste better than Wheaties

It's an iconic cereal brand but, yeah, I always found the texture to be a bit weird and if I wanted something in that lane I'd just opt for Corn Flakes. Of course I'd dump a pound of sugar on both, but...

I like Wheaties, but admit I don't get it all that often anymore. It's kind of situational -- almost too heavy.

Side note - I like quite a few sugary brands, but I rarely add sugar to any of the non-sugar varieties.

This would be like a Virginia vs Wisconsin matchup that ended after 7 overtimes with a score of 39 to 38 and Iowa state would be the game afterwards so we would have to just wait it out.
All that bran prevents you from having to wait anything out...

It's always funny the visceral hate for cereal, beer, songs, movies, in threads like this.

I was not allowed to have sweetened cereal as a kid so consequently as an adult I love them all.

I'm not a big fan of sugary cereals, so a lot of those matchups were lesser of two evils for me. My go-to options are wheat chex & grape nuts, both of which are in my cupboard right now, next to all of his teeth rotting options. Normally I would also have bran flakes, but someone in this household goofed up and bought RAISIN bran, and I'm too damn lazy to pick out all the raisins. So he's going to have to finish off that box.

Grape nuts made the tourney? Must have won their conference tournament.

My old man would mix grape nuts and all bran together for breakfast. All of us kids and my mother (and both sets of grandparents) would refer to that as "sticks and rocks".
