drinking the milk after finishing a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch is the best. favorite cereal growing up was frankenberry. kind hard to find nowadays though. current favorite cereal is chocolate cheerios.

I once had apple cinnamon granola which I added to corn flakes. Now that was good.
I haven't tried CTC yet.

Yeap! Then it was Golden Sugar Smacks, now Golden Crisp.
Me and that fucking bear ate a lot of breakfasts together!

Actually, wasn't there a "Super Golden Crisp" version in there too?

I remember it starting as Sugar Smacks, then changing to Honey Smacks(Cause honey's not as junky as sugar :^D), then? I'm not sure where they went after that. I haven't had it for decades. I should pick a box up. I don't know if they've changed the recipe, but it used to have an almost coffee flavor that was quite addictive. Good stuff :^)

I used to love Cinnamon Toast Crunch but I tried it again recently and it's just too sweet. Even moreso than most other junk cereals. Favorite junk cereals are Frosted Mini Wheats Chocolate Little Bites and Reese's Puffs. Reese's Puffs feel extra greasy in your mouth and leave little oil slicks in the milk. Gross but yummy.

I think my favorites are Special K Red Berries (it has strawberries) and Quaker Oatmeal Squares.

Kashi Strawberry Fields is good too and it doesn't have an ingredients list as long as my arm, but it's friggin expensive for a tiny amount of cereal. You get maybe 3 bowls out of a $4 box. Red Berries is similar but costs a lot less.

Funny thing I noticed, "Strawberry Fields" has both strawberries and raspberries, but "Red Berries" has only strawberries.

We probably purchase whatever generic brand it is that's simply rebadged CTC more than any other cereal. (roughly 1/3 of the boxes/bags that we buy) - but that's because I don't see a generic bagged golden grahams which are superior.

I love sugary cereals... not as breakfast, but for a snack after dinner instead of dessert.

Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch are probably the best.
