Thing is Kix isn't much healthier than Cinnamon Toast Crunch just because it tastes less sweet. The fast burning grain carbs in both cereals are the main culprit, not the sugar, although Kix might be marginally better for your teeth.

Cascadian Farms Multi Grain Squares

There was a really awesome cereal in the 80s that looked like mini powdered donuts, I can't remember the name of it, but I wish they'd make it again.

Ohs are pretty kick-ass too, I have to admit. I was stunned by how awesome they were when I finally grabbed a box. Great to eat right out of the box, even.

Oh's are great! Though I like to let mine settle in milk before eating, those things stay crunchy for hours it seems sometimes.

Definitely. Most cereals I have to try to zoom through eating before they get soggy, but not Ohs!

Second to that would be blueberry morning.

Yes, grape nuts is my favorite cereal, I am serious. I don't understand why people seem to hate it, but to each their own. *shrug*

ive always liked grape nuts. my mom thought i was a weird kid because id eat it. she ate it too, but didnt really like it...

that said, my fave cereal is called quisp. i hear they are selling it online, but 5 bucks for a 9oz box is a ripoff.

Don't eat cereal anymore.

When I was younger, I ate BooBerry, Golden Grahms and most Chocolate cereals because I HATED milk. These always seemed to mask the flavor of the milk a bit and make it tolerable enough to eat.

Gotta be lucky charms. I use to pick out the marshmellows and eat them one by one. Great stuff. Oh, and it doesn't completely screw up the milk like Tony the Tiger's cereal... whatever it's called.

They had a boat load of that at the Dollar General so I bought a box. I didn't buy it for the cereal, but for the box, it has the craziest shit on the back of the box.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Cracklin' Oat Bran yet... that stuff is not my favorite, but it is an unsung hero of fast breaking.

Hot oatmeal (not that instant crap that comes in an envelop) with fruit added.

I find that stuff absolutely disgusting... I couldn't even finish the bowl when I tried it, let alone the box. It's not often I will waste food, was raised with the value that wasting food was a very bad thing to do.

Oatmeal made from scratch with bananas and raisins or other dried fruit.

It's so hard to find cereal that's not full of sugar - I spent 20 minutes in the aisle in Trader Joe's not long ago reading the ingredients and walked away empty handed. I don't want candy.
