Favorite Childhood Breakfast Cereal

[DEMOA]

I would assume a parent would HAVE to make you eat that stuff...

I couldn't see a kid eating it voluntarily.....

Oops! sorry! I ate it voluntarily.
You learn something new everyday, eh?

and yes, it did soak up the milk quite nicely, and yes, I did put a little sugar on it.

Remember the big, huge Shredded Wheat? I LOVED that cereal! Weren't they individually wrapped? Do they still make them huge? I only see the bite-sized ones in the store. Not the same!

Old people like this stuff 'cause its chock full of fiber! No supplements necessary!

I LOVE those big bales of Hay. They certainly required 1/2 cup sugar and just enough milk to make the sugar stick to the hay, but then it was like a big brick of woven yum.*


*unless the little woven fibers got caught in your throat and then you spent the entire school day with that hacking "fiber shards in the esophagus" cough.

p.s. Would this be an appropriate thread for stating how much pain Grape Nuts cause to a newly-lost molar hole? God, I can still feel those little fuckers. (and don't tell me you aren't moving your tongue all around your wisdom teeth right now).

hahahahahaha! ouch!
And is it just me or does Grape Nuts take about 10 min per scoop to chew? Holy shit! I'm exhausted by the time I'm finished with breakfast!

I remember when Grape Nuts first came out when I was 7. I took one bite. That was 31 years ago. My teeth still hurt from it.

I was pissed off the first time I poured a bowl...There weren't any fucking grapes anywhere..............

None of these existed when I was a child.

In Panama there's a grape nuts ice cream. It's much pleasanter eating it than the plain cereal, especially since the bb pellets cereal clusters have softened up considerably.

[Bellicose]

That ish is the bomb.

Beware of imitators, though. That General Mills Reese Puff Crunch is shit.

What in the world are you talking about? Reese Puffs has got to be the best cereal on the market. But, then again I am a little biased. Because, I love Reese's and I love anything with Peanut Butter in it.
PEANUT BUTTER FOR LIFE PEEPS!!!

[TattdMom]

I loved the "tumbleweeds" just a little sugar and warm milk....you got hot cereal! Same with Grape nuts, I love that stuff. Yes you can find the big shredded wheat, I found it at the Super Walmart in Camden (that's south of Dover for you in NCC, not NJ).

If I wanted sugar laced cereal it would have to be coco krispies, I love the chocolate milk. Nowadays though I don't eat cereal much, milk doesn't like me anymore.

What color are peanut butter peeps?

[mastiffmom]

Another vote here for Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. It has ALWAYS been my fave! My kids love it too.

Now I know that you are just messin right? Peeps as in nickname for People. Not Marshmallow Peeps that you get around easter. (Which I used to love as a kid, but can't stand them now.)

But, to answer your question I would think if they did exist. They would have to be something like a Tanish color. Because, Peanut Butter comes in no other color. Just different textures. Love me some Extra Chunky Peanut Butter especially with Strawberry Jam out of the squeeze bottle.

I also love Frankenberry however I have noticed it is not made lke it was when I was young...when I was little I remember the cereal part being like a strawberry colored luck charms consistncy now its kinda transparent and different...cheaper made I guess and the marshmallows back then tasted more strawberryish (ok I make up my own words). I still luv lucky charms.
