Team Lucky Charms, yo! Between the cracked out manic smile of Lucky the Leprechaun, the deliciously sugary milk, and the brows-furrowed attempt to maximize the cereal to red balloon ratio, there can be no other.
@boxspelunker: I love that kind of minimalistic honesty.
Once I saw these bags of potato chips that were completely white and they had "POTATO CHIPS" written on red on them. That was all. They really stood out.
@boxspelunker: Here's a picture for you. They actually have a logo which I didn't remember but they're still pretty minimalistic.
Also, Spanish: this was in Chile.
This is like a chart of my dietary choices for my entire life. I freaking adore cereal. Even now, we go through several boxes per week, between the three of us. I married a cereal lover and we spawned another one. And when I was pregnant, I craved Reese's Puffs like nobody's business.
Cracklin' Oat Bran for the win. And yes, I am old, incontinent, agitated, a believer in aliens, high, constipated, fond of juggling, descended from mountain lions, fluent in Farsi, and covered in tattoos of Rick Moranis. Where's my flow-chart?!
@CurtCole: True story: The first and last time I ate Alphabits cereal, the marshmallow letters um, exited just as they had gone in. They didn't spell anything ominous though, so I guess that's a plus.
When I was a kid, my dad would buy the cereal in the bag (rather than the box) because it "all came from the same goddamn place, dammit!" Then, in high school we had the misfortune of moving not terribly far from the Malt-O-Meal factory, where I learned from an assorted variety of ex-cons, permastoners, and people missing multiple digits that it did NOT come from the same place, and some of the things that transpired in that factory were enough to turn you off your tootie frooties for life.
@urbanspelunker: exactly the sort of unsavory behavior you expect ex-cons, permastoners and the fingerless to engage in during a graveyard shift...plus, they always smelled like whatever cereal was in production that day. One of the guys complained he couldn't get the pirate mateys dust out of his 'vette.
I used to eat Lucky Charms all through college because we don't have them in Ireland, where I grew up. This amused my friends no end, who repeatedly begged me to express concern that people might be in persuit of my Lucky Charms.
@scarletbegonia: Go Lean! Crunch is my go-to snack. I guess I should just slap on a forehead-band and submit a headshot to Look at this Fucking Hipster!.com
@BetteD: Yeah, Crunch is the way to go. Regular Go Lean is bland...but neither are at all ironic. What would the ironic cereal choice of hipsters be? Life?

Seriously, that is my favorite cereal. Yes, the name played a part.
Crispy. Hexagons.
This is precisely what they are.

It also sounds like a great band name.

"These are hexagons. They are crispy." Well, sign me up!
"These are chips made of potato." Well, that's precisely what I want! Hand 'em over!
Also, "hexagons" makes me laugh. It's so... precise.

I am very disappointed to not see King Vitamin on the group of choices for those of us who don't care about the top of our mouths.

Fun fact: Sanitarium - which I have been told is the name of a tampon manufacturer in South Africa - is run by Seventh Day Adventists.
