    I'm really sorry I keep dropping Mad Men references today, but I'm working a 20-page research paper about Peggy Olson. At any rate, Don Draper also once referred to cereal as one of the greatest things to ever happen to advertising. I just wanted to throw that out there.

    Me and mr. terrible/foibles had cereal night last night! We keep a variety in our house. My choice was frosted flakes which I will always love. He chowed some frosted mini wheat and some lucky charms. Then we ate chip-ahoy's till we felt sick. Cereal night is awesome. Can't have any secks afterwards though, because of the nausea.

    OK, speaking of weird, discontinued cereals:


    not sure if there are any peeps familiar with Roundy's but there used to be this weird cereal when I was a kid that was shaped like a UFO (**I think it was supposed to be a pie) and tasted like apple-cinnamon. Have never seen them since.


    Other discontinued cereal: those Golden Graham ones... I never see it anymore! and they used to make Golden Graham rice-krispy-style treats...they were in.cre.di.bl.e

    I LOVE cereal. I eat it at least twice a week, usually Trader Joe's Cheerios. For me, I associate them with mornings with my dad. Anytime I got to eat breakfast with him was really great and we'd eat Frosted Flakes or Cheerios. So, those just happen to be my favorites.

    @dirtybee says we bee obama jammin: Every so often, I'll randomly get a craving for Apple Jacks, Froot Loops or Cinnamon Toast Crunch and will eat that for every meal until the box is empty.


    Actually, cereal sounds nom. Too bad I only have Kashi Good Friends* in my cabinet.

    I can't remember the name of it, but there was a cereal that had little tiny ice cream cones and little chocolate and vanilla ice cream scoops. It was maybe the sweetest cereal I'd ever eaten. My bff (at age 7) always had the good cereals, and when I'd go over, I would always ask to have 'the ice cream cereal' as a snack. I've looked for this cereal in my adulthood and I am not ashamed.

    I love cereal. I love it so much that as a vegetarian teenager who couldn't cook, I ate almost nothing else for about 5 years.


    It is torture to read this list of exotic American cereals. We don't have anything like this selection here in the UK...

    @gherkinfiend: Be thankful; it's all full of high-fructose corn syrup, and tons of other edible food-like substances. I just bought some "All-Bran Strawberry Medley" to try and it's so sweet, it's practically inedible. My fault for not reading the label (was in a rush) - the ingredients list 'sugar' FOUR times, as well as honey, molasses, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, and sucralose.

    Variety boxes of cereal were viewed as the ultimate indulgence when I was a kid. We were far too Northern for that kind of namby-pamby coddling - as far as my mum was concerned, anyway. I used to dream about them. . .

    My friends used to buy me boxes of Frosted Flakes as a birthday present since I wasn't allowed to have it at home and would eat like an insane glutton whenever I went over to their houses for a sleepover.

    Breakfast is my favorite and I eat cereal for dinner at least one night a week. My favorite junk cereals are: Lucky Charms, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Reese's Puffs, Golden Grahams, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.


    Does anyone remember when they made Rice Krispie TREATS cereal? I don't think they make it anymore, because I have looked far and wide. Best. Cereal. Ever.


    Also, I really do love Cracklin Oat Bran, which looks healthy enough, but the calorie count is actually higher in comparison with the "junk" cereals (and it's like....$6 a box...brand name cereal? NOT CHEAP!).

    @youknowverse: One of the great mysteries I'm determined to solve in this life is why COB is so fucking expensive. Even the biggest box of the priciest sugar cereals are a dollar or two less.


    And I hate that, because COB is delish.

    I've taken Grape-Nuts with me to all corners of the planet. I never leave the country without a Ziploc of Grape-Nuts mixed with a little sugar. You can use them to turn a continental breakfast into a real meal (use the milk from the coffee tray.) You can mix them with yogurt for a healthy jetlag snack.


    Behind Grape-Nuts, I love Shredded Wheat With Bran, and I sometimes mix them together so that I feel extra virtuous. The only sugared cereal I ever liked was Life, which we were only allowed to have as a special treat because it was so expensive.
