[debm55]

What about you??????

[hlthe2b]

1. Malt O'Meal--especially the chocolate variety...

[debm55]

7. Thank you very much hlthe2b. for sharing with us.

[Jilly_in_VA]

2. I hated cereal, especially cold cereal

It never stuck with me through the morning at all. If I had to eat it, I preferred oatmeal with raisins, or on the rare occasions we had leftover rice, warm rice with raisins and brown sugar.

[FirstLight]

3. I know this is gonna sound weird, but I think I was a little old lady when I was little...

I LOVED Grape Nuts!!! (with like a teaspoon of sugar) Like crunching down some sweet gravel...

I've wanted to buy some in my older years, but my teeth would probably rebel! lmao

[Nittersing]

9. I am so with you on this

I LOVED Grape Nuts! (They're just too hard with my dentures. )

[FirstLight]

10. the tooth thing is annoying, cuz they crunch so good!

...and letting them get "softer" in milk is just LOL

[debm55]

21. Thank you FirstLight, most cereal when it gets softer in milk is a terrible.

[debm55]

19. Thank you Nittersing. I have never had them. But they do sound good, Thank you for sharing.

[get the red out]

4. Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries

MORE SUGAR PLEASE! The pink milk at the bottom of the bowl was a nice touch too.

[debm55]

18. Oh yes, get the red out. Loved the pink milk at the bottom. Yummy

[Silent Type]

5. Rice Krispies, with the snap, crackle, and pop.

[debm55]

17. Oh , I remember them so much. I would cut up bananas or strawberries and mix it together with the milk. HEAVEN.

[nuxvomica]

6. Cheerios

My default breakfast nowadays is Kodiak protein oats with a teaspoon of Sugar in the Raw and frozen banana slices to cool it down but I keep Cheerios around for the occasional snack or meal substitute. To me, there is nothing more refreshing than Cheerios with skim milk. But I also like corn flakes, Rice Krispies and raisin bran. When I was a kid, my favorite was Cocoa Puffs but I tried them as an adult and could not handle the sweetness. Honey Nut Cheerios is an inedible abomination, BTW.

[debm55]

16. Thank you very much nuxvomica. I had a fix on Cocoa Puffs to for the same reason--you would get chocolate milk

[purple_haze]

8. Man this brings back memories

I loved Quaker Instant Oats of the maple and brown sugar variety.

Favorite cold cereal... Gosh there were so many. I haven't had cereal in 20 years, but if I could have just one bowl today, it would either be Crunchberry Captain Crunch or Lucky Charms.

[debm55]

11. Thank you very much, purple_haze. I enjoy your list.

[Nittersing]

12. I liked the single serve boxes that you cut open!!

Don't know how often Mom bought them, but it was just fun to cut them open a pour milk in the box.

Of those, I think Sugar Pops were my favorite.

[debm55]

14. I remember those little boxes. I always took fruit loops.

[surrealAmerican]

25. We used to get those too ...

... but it would lead to fierce competition. My sister and I would have killed each other for the fruit loops.

[Wuddles440]

13. My "favorites" were whatever...

my mother selected for us - Wheaties, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, Chex, Cheerios, Life, Mother's Oats, and Cream of Wheat. As a treat, she would occasionally permit my sisters and I to indulge in the sugary temptations of the Kelloggs Variety Pack, Captain Crunch, Trix, Sugar Smacks, or Quisp.

[debm55]

15. Thank you very much Wuddles440 for your great list.

[boonecreek]

20. Kellogg's raisin bran.

These days, I buy the plain bran flakes and raisins separately.
The raisins in the pre-made stuff have the texture of pea gravel.

[debm55]

23. I agree, boonecreek . I am afraid it will take a crown out

[Emile]

22. Cream of Wheat was my favorite too.

[debm55]

24. Thank you very much Emile. I still eat it during the winter months.

[gladium et scutum]

26. Grape Nuts

[debm55]

29. thank you very much , for sharing with us, gladium et scotum. Enjoy.

[marble falls]

27. This stuff ...

?si=CSwlyX4hZ6vVOj3_

[debm55]

31. Thank you very much, marble falls.I remember the commercial and the Maypo, Had some as a kid.

[marble falls]

35. Didn't taste so much like maple, but living in Akron (where "rolled oats" were invented during the civil war) ...

... I ate a lot of oats. Still do, but adult oats, steel cut oats.

[patphil]

28. Wheaties.

[marble falls]

36. Breakfast of Champions!

[debm55]

37. Thank you very much. My dad always had Wheaties.

[MuseRider]

30. Maypo and

Grape Nuts.

[debm55]

38. Thank you very much for your choices MuseRider.

[justaprogressive]

32. Yum to both

I also loved Sugar Smacks, Sugar Pops, (good skiing snacks!) and Life...

[debm55]

39. HAHAHHAHAH. I don't remember that . Were they they same, only packaged differently? Thank you justaprogressive.

[justaprogressive]

56. yeah like Wheaties Sport star of the month

[LogDog75]

33. Cheerios and Trix

[debm55]

34. Thank you very much LogDog75. Enjoy.

[catbyte]

40. Cocoa Krispies

I've been a chocoholic since way back.

[debm55]

43. Yes, and the cereal would make the milk all chocolate after. YUM. thanks catbyte.

[LoisB]

41. Raisin Bran as a child. I very rarely eat cereal these days but Honey Bunches of Oats when I

do.

[debm55]

44. Thank you very much LoisB, Two great choices.

[mwmisses4289]

42. Pretty much whatever struck our fancy,

but i wasn't a real breakfast eater as a child (still am not, often won't have anything more than coffee until I've been up an hour or two).
Sweet cereals- capn crunch, apple Jax, raisin bran, that kind of stuff. Hated oatmeal, though I tried it several times, think it's a texture thing.

[debm55]

45. Thank you very much for your selection of cereals, Old names that I remember as a kid. Thank you mwmisses4289.

[KitFox]

46. Our hot cereal as a kid was a bowl of grits with butter, salt, and pepper. It is still

a favorite as an adult. Cold cereal as a child was usually Cheerios. Sometimes my mom would buy us the variety pack and I always tried to outmaneuver my sisters for the sugar pops. I don’t usually eat cold cereal now, but if I get the urge, I’ll get either Great Grains, Honey Bunches of Oats, or Golden Grahams. Hope you are having a good day, Deb!! 😊

[pandr32]

47. I used to eat Shreddies or Raison Bran.

We usually had boiled eggs and toast, though. My British grandparents' influence on my mother. We had egg cups and Mom would cut the toast in fingers.

[debm55]

50. Thank you very much pandr 32. Your British breakfast sounds great.

[Dorothy V]

48. As a child, Rice Krispies. As an adult, puffed wheat.

[debm55]

49. Thank you very much Dorothy V. Enjoy your Puffed Rice,

[CrispyQ]

51. 1. Cocoa Puffs 2. Cocoa Krispies. There's a theme here. 🍫🍫🍫 -nt

[debm55]

52. That's because you liked the cocoa flavored milk at the bottom. So did I. Thank you CrispyQ.

[elleng]

53. I want my MAYPO!!!

[Permanut]

54. Wheaties for me, Cheerios for my big sister..

She used to line up the cereal boxes in front of her so she wouldn't have to look at me.

[Cloudhopper]

55. Regular Captain Crunch with a side

of peanut butter toast.

Sugar Pops.

[k55f5r]

57. Oatmeal that my Gramma made.

Cooked, but still with texture, a Big pat of butter, and heavy cream. No sugar.

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Cream Of Wheat

My favorite cold cereal was, wait for it, Grape Nuts!
Probably because my dad liked them, but I noticed very young that they never got soggy. Crunchy until they were gone.
I always like corn & rice Chex right out of the box.

[Earl_from_PA]

59. Was never a cereal guy.

All time favorite, biscuits and gravy.
2nd eggs (any style) and the flesh of a pig, bacon, sausage, or ham.
Bread, toast or pancakes, on rare occasions.

[Rizen]

60. Lucky Charms.

Might as well inject the sugar strait into my arteries.

[electric_blue68]

61. Rice Krispies, and Cheerios...

Maaaaybe on a rare occasion Fruit Loops, or Pebbles; which we may have had staying over at a cousin's house, ans not ours.

I really enjoy Cream of Wheat/Rice as an adult. I'd often made it really thick. At the ALP I'm at we get it regular which is fine: wheat, rice, and ?farina. It's funny, while I enjoy herbed, and non-hot spiced foods, I love these bland breakfast foods.

Raisin Bran's ok.
I don't think we ever had hot cereal as a kid.

Oh, how could I forget, duh, various granolas as an adult!
There's what I call "granola dessert" which is Trader's Joe's Chocolate Granola! Yippie! 😄🥰

[Morbius]

62. Corn Flakes.

I make excellent cookies with Corn Flakes, too!

I like the occasional mash-up as well; mix Apple Jacks with Froot Loops, or Golden Grahams with Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I like Crispix, too. That's my wife's favorite.

When I was very young, money was crazy tight for my family. My mother made us eat puffed wheat; she told us to add sugar, but no amount of sugar prevented it from tasting like cardboard. I was at least eight before I even tried a cereal which was advertised on TV.

[JMCKUSICK]

63. I always loved Golden Grahams and Raisin Bran

[sakabatou]

64. Reese's and Muslix

[ArnoldLayne]

65. Cream of Wheat and Trix.
