Mmmmmm Raisin Bran... Makes the morning so much easier. Not all sugary like the others, but the raisins have just the right flavor.

What do you all think?

The flakes become soggy too quickly for my taste though overall it's a good choice. If I eat those sugary cereals now, I crash hard at about 10am and practically fall asleep. I usually prefer Frosted Miniwheats since they combine the right amount of sweetness with a nice crunch that doesn't immediately disappear when you open the milk.

Actually, Crispy Wheats & Raisins is very good -- doesn't turn into mush like Post.

Ahhhh Raisin Bran. I think I'll try and write an ode to Raisin Bran.

It's nutricious, it's delicious. I can eat as a breakfast or have it as a snack!

I loves it!

I just stocked up last night cause my Supermarket has a buy 2 for $5 deal (for the 25.5 Oz boxes baby!).

My choice also but with lots of sugar!!

Can you spell "Wired?"

Some brands are better than others also.

I agree with AndrewR. Raisin Bran lacks the ability to fend off the sogginess. Unless your normal serving size is three teaspoons, a breakfast of Raisin Bran is about 15 seconds of good crunching, with the remainder reminiscent of eating low-budget chewing gum in milk.

OTOH, Crispy Wheats and Raisins - a manly cereal - resists the sogginess all the way to the end. Even a Jethro-sized bowl is better at the end than Raisin Bran after a minute.

Post RB holds together pretty long, and is a household favorite here. Buy at Sams in Bulk!

Try Raisin Bran Crunch, that stuff is addicting, doesn't sog as fast and much more flavor, I just killed a box the other day so I have to get more.
