best cereals

Ok..I'm not really a cereal person, but I hate buying a box, then it doesn't taste good.

I took a chance buying the new All Bran strawberry bites, and it is SOOOO good! I don't eat it with milk thought. I just eat it out of a bowl like a snack, and have my glass of milk with it!

they also double as dog treats (if you dog is ok with wheat!)

Anyone have other good cereals they can recommend?

Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. I just had a bowl for breakfast!
Raisin Bran Crunch

One cereal to avoid:
Wheatabix
Just like eating wet sawdust.

Really? How do you choke it down when it turns into a big bowl of wet sawdust? I got a sample pack once, added milk and brown sugar, but before I could take 2 bites, it was a big blob of brown.

The trick is, to use only a little milk ( in the bottom of the bowl) snd don't pour it over (pour it beside), and eating it quick helps to (before it turns to mush)!

Yup!! they taste exactly like that!!! The Dare chocolate sandwich cookies taste like the chocolate ones!!!(girl guide)

One thing that I found a letdown was the Nestle chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Just tasted like mocha. No "chunks" if you know what I mean.


are we weird or what??

Gotta have my POPs , I love it, I really think it is the best think out there. Maybe one of the resaons: I don't like chocolate. But I've tried many others and I am really hooked on this one.

why are there so many saltanas in so many cereals? i am absolutly sick of seeing the disgusting little things in my box ever morning. why cant they make more without them? is there any nutritional value to them, surely not, it could not be. dont they understand that it takes a good 5 minutes every single morning to pick all those ugly little black things out of my bowl, its really an exhautsing effort for a bit of flavoursome cereal. what a girl has to do these days (i know i should make my own but i t wont taste the same).

I'm getting sick of corn pops... They are the only cereal I can eat now. I got some sort of intolerance to a food addititive associated with flour and oats. I can't eat anything with oats or that is "fortified" for nutritional value. I used to love oatmeal and "Oat Bran" (it's healthy-ish AND sweet). It really sucks because I used to love cereal. I think that is why I ended up with this... Too much cereal.

Saturday morning, Bugs Bunny on the tube, get a big bowl out, put in a layer of Shreddies, a layer of Cheerios, a layer of Rice Krispies, some Corn Flakes and some bran.

Put in copious amounts of milk.

Turn the TV up because you can't hear Elmer Fudd over the crunching.
