Royale with Cheese Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 When I was a kid, it was between Golden Grahams or Frosted Mini Wheats. Now, Raisin Bran or Honey Bunches of Oats. I still like my childhood cereals but I stay away from the real sugary cereals as an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not healthy but at least sugar is cut in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bomb Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Count Chocula (from the 1980's, today's version is crap) I don't eat cereal now because I became lactose intolerant in my mid 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Then: corn chex Now: kashi go lean (can't beat it for calories for the quantity) As a kid, we ate a bunch of sugary cereals all the time. So, the novelty wore off and I gravitated toward just corn chex. I always found it to be humorous that when I got to college, a lot of kids went off the deep end, eating sugary cereal For the first time; I remember one kid that ate two bowls of lucky charms for every meal! My wife's family is the model of decorum and lace curtain Irish. My brother in-law, I was told would eat a bowl of sugary cereal after every meal, even dinner. It has been said to have rocked the family decorum to its core. He does have three older sisters, so they played along with it as best they could!

Marv's Neighbor Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Shredded Wheat-from Niagara Falls, Rice Crispies, Frosted Mini Wheat. Been Celiac since 2001 so very limited now. No wheat, oats, barley or rye. Can't figure out how they got the gluten out of Honey Nut Cheerios, but that's an option now. Can get mass quantities at Costco, for not too much $$. Can't believe the prices at Wegmans, even for their store brands. High prices and tiny boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the prices at Wegmans, even for their store brands. High prices and tiny boxes. I volunteered at a food bank earlier this year. They had about a 1000 boxes of gluten free cheerios that The company donated. The reason was that the boxes all said "gluten free," but they were not. We spent the day re-labaleing them. So watch out for those cheerios! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Cookie Crisp, Waffle Crisp, and Oreo Cereal were amazing back in the day. I don't really eat cereal now, but I suspect I'd hate how sugary they all taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
