Conan O'Brien's mention of Cap'n Crunch in his recent hilarious video blog reminded me of when I used to eat boxed cereal. I ate boxed cereal every day for half my life, but yet, haven't eaten it in at least 20 years. I can't put my finger on why or when I stopped.
Now I have oatmeal for breakfast every day (not nearly as fun a boxed cereal, but that's what old people do)
But it got me reminiscing about my 5 favorite and 5 worst boxed cereals and wondering if they still exist.
So cereal eaters out there, let me know if these are still out there and if they are as good or as bad as I remember. I know I can look it up on the interwebs, but who's got time?
The Best
Cap'n Crunch-Corny, sweet, and rips the roof off your mouth.
Honey Combs-Who didn't want to hang in the "Honeycomb Hideout?"
Golden Grahams-See Honey Combs, but with graham cracker taste and razor sharp corners.
Fruit Loops-Brightly colored sugar rings. I'm not even sure if there was any grain in these. And why did you have to "Follow Your Nose" to find it?
Boo Berry-What can I say? I love Blueberries and may have been the only person who liked this one.
The Worst:
Cookie Crisp-Seriously, great idea, but better on paper
Frosted Flakes-These tasted "great" but you had to eat them in record time or they just got all soggy.
Frosted Mini Wheats-Like pouring powdered sugar over a brillo pad.
Lucky Charms-Those marshmellows gave me the same sensation as biting on tin foil.
Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries-Stop Messing with what's already perfect.
Let me know your best and worst. And I'll be having my oatmeal...with coffee. Yep, I'm crazy like that.
Who did you vote for in the famous Quisp and Quake showdown? I was a Quisp man myself.
ReplyDeletehahaha that's so funny you say that about Lucky Charms b/c I used to eat just the marshmallows out of the box & my brothers would get so mad! lol
