Cereals getting gross and soggy was a major issue for me as a kid. That's why I became a younger than normal fan of Grapenuts, which stayed reasonable solid no matter how much milk. Granted now I haven't had any sweet cereal in years. Once or twice a week I'll have cereal, but usually of the Kashi/Red Berry Special K variety. Grapenuts are awesome. I ate so much of that in college. We had a dining package which let us eat at our choice of cafeteria as often as we like, and no matter the time of day they always had a cereal bar with 12 options of cereal. I liked the cafeteria food alright and usually went through the line, but Girlfriend Snape did not like the food at all and practically lived off Cap'n Crunch for 3 years. |

FACT: Grapenuts look like cat vomit.

I saw Grapenuts in my crush's kitchen on Sunday morning. I felt weird about it.  Sounds like an elderly pick-up line. "Hey baby, can I serve you Grape Nuts for breakfast?" |

Haha, I remember those gigantic frosted mini-wheats. They sucked. I would break them into thirds. But then all that extra shred would soak up the milk and you basically had mush in the bottom of the bowl. If I eat mini-wheats now, I will pour a very scant bit of milk on top and eat 'em REAL quick so it doesn't turn to mush. was a major issue for me as a kid.

Yeah, I'm in the same camp where shitty sugary cereals were allowed, but we rarely bought them. The sweetest one we bought regularly was Honey Nut Cheerios, but I mostly subsisted on Cheerios on Shreddies. I actively disliked Froot Loops and the other crappy fruit-flavoured cereals. We had at one point in the early eighties picked up a box of Strawberry Shortcake cereal that was so vile even the neighbour's dog wouldn't eat it, and he ate everything.
We started getting more sugary cereals when I was a teenager, and for Chocolately-type cereal, Cocoa Pebbles were the best since they actually tasted slightly like chocolate. Cocoa Puffs were terrible and tasted more like a malted caramel or something weird.

I will vouch for Reese's cereal. The commercials promise your regular corn puff cereal that tastes like peanut butter cups, and it kind-of delivers. I don't think I ever ate it before I moved out; I will occasionally buy a box to surprise Wifemate (we live in such luxury).

I was never into breakfast, even as a kid. We never had sugary cereals around, sometimes we'd have Shreddies or Shredded Wheat or Wheatabix, but mostly no-name Cheerios or puffed wheat. I didn't like cold cereal in general - crunchy stuff in cold, powdered skim milk is not pleasant by any stretch. But I would get those little boxes while camping, and the Fruit Loops were always a disappointment. I think I did have Sugar Crisp once and liked it.
