Another reason why Frosted Flakes is #1!!

Were you fed luke-warm bowls of Cream of Wheat sprinkled with sorrow as a child?

Nah. Ate plenty of sugar cereals. Just didn't like Lucky Charms.

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.

Shhh Don't tell him about the all marshmallow Lucky Charms cereal.

Damn, that had to have set you back like $40-50. Seems like cereal (like most other things) are expensive AF these days.

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.

This link would have been helpful when we were seeding.

I tried finding all different kinds of most popular lists when putting a list together.

Not bad my bill was around $48 and cereal part was only around $24.

I think because @CycloneRulzzz creates the posts, he cannot vote with the buttons so he submits his votes in a response and his vote of +1 needs to be added to the selections.

This is correct. You can't rate your posts.

Frosted Lucky Charms are magically delicious, in addition to being an undeniable marketing success. 50+ year customer here. Maybe you are just mad that your mom didn't buy them for you....

I haven't eaten cereal on any consistent basis for probably 10 years or more but my favorite is, and probably always will be, Cinnamon Life.

I doubt there are many adults still regularly eating cereal for a meal but might indulge as a snack once in a while. We very rarely have any cereal in the house and we have a 10yo.

If you aren't eating cereal, what on earth are you doing for quick and easy breakfast? Not trying to insult, just genuinely curious. Cereal is all I can get my kid to eat for breakfast, granted he is 3.

Speaking for myself, almost never eat breakfast. And, if I do, it's on the weekend when I have the time to make a proper hot breakfast.

Granted, my wife and I are DINKs, so we don't need to feed any urchins before heading to work.

I usually have eggs and sausage, sometimes just a protein shake. Our 10yo prefers fruit, sausage and mini muffins with a glass of milk. Only takes a couple minutes to make.

I love making a proper, big breakfast for the fam on Saturday mornings.

Funny coincidence, I'm wearing my diabeetus shirt right now.

I wear sensor to monitor mine 24/7. Brothers!

I don't actually have the beetus, just the shirt. It's a parody of a band called Dying Fetus.

I was always a cereal kid growing up but my wife is big on good breakfasts for the kids. Cereal in the morning is probably a once a year thing at our house.

It’s usually a combo of toast/waffles/pancakes, eggs, meat and fruit or yogurt. Basically every single day in whatever combo the kids are feeling. I get a little more creative on the weekends. It takes like 10-15 minutes to cook and even less if you don’t do any meat. Pretty quick and easy.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch must be laced with something addictive cause it's down right habit forming.
