Captain Crunch with Crunchberries. They were PINK crunchberries. Now they're green, purple...yech! I won't eat that cereal anymore. Pink crunchberries looked RIGHT with the yellow cereal. Purple and Green crunchberries look gross.

I remember Count Chocula and Frankenberry. They were both awful. Pure sugar.

Hated breakfast as a kid. Before school my mom would wake me up, I'd roll over and hold out my hand onto which she'd place a vitamin pill and then she'd hand me a glass of OJ to drink it down. That was her way of getting me some nourishment in the morning. LOL!

Damn! I'm just smh over the younger me. My mom was a saint.

My mom only occasionally bought dry, boxed cereals: Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Captain Crunch (original), and, on rare occasions, those cereal multi-packs. I was never crazy for boxed cereals. Still not. Somebody called box cereals "dog food for humans."

I do like Grape Nuts.

Daddy's "juice"

by Anonymousreply 19August 16, 2020 6:53 AM

My dad always made us eat "healthy" cereal. Though now they say no cereal is truly healthy as any kind you eat makes your blood sugar spike. Anyhow, we'd usually get Honey nut Cheerios if we really really wanted something sweet. He also wouldn't let us open more than one box at a time, so if I wanted Raisin Bran and my brother got up before me and opened the Cheerios, I was stuck eating Cheerios that week. I have fond memories of my mom sneaking us fruity pebbles every so often, ir was like a secret treat between her and me and my siblings. We would devour the whole box in one morning. I loved that

Cheerios, Chex cereals, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, or when my mom was generous, hot oatmeal with dates cut up in it.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal with Oreo cookies mixed in.

The trick is that you pre-dunk the Oreo cookies until they are semi-soft and let the hot oatmeal do the rest.

And viola!

You need to listen to viola music while eating this.

Classy.

She's a little pitchy, but that's okay. You're eating oatmeal with Oreos!

We had the same selection as [R21]: Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Crispix, Raisin Bran. By the 5th child, my mother's resolve had been broken and a box of Froot Loops found its way into the cupboard. We were allowed to add a small handfull of those to a bowl of normal cereal for breakfast. Of course as children with all our peers downing gobs of sugar cereal, we thought our parents were positively puritans, though this wasn't the hill we chose to die on. Now I'm in my late 30's, gay and childless, but would absolutely enforce the same food choices my parents made.

My uncle would occasionally visit and spend the night, bringing his fav Special K. Once we had shredded wheat. My mother declared all other dry cereals to be the equivalent of passing the sugar bowl.

Breakfast was homemade whole wheat bread and homemade low sugar jam. Or oatmeal with raisins and milk. Or leftover brown rice, cinnamon and milk. Or kasha and milk. Or cornmeal and milk.

We did not have cereal as my parents dismissed them as sugar delivery vehicles.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal was as close as we got.

My grandmother used to eat Special K and so when we stayed with her, we'd get that.

Still don't really eat cereal.

Apple Jacks and Super Crisp (the one with the bear. That name is so generic I could never remember what it was called). Grandma always had Honeycomb at her house. It was often stale since we only went there every month or two so the same box lasted a long time as she didn’t eat any herself.

Raisin Bran or Cap'n Crunch, though Mother wouldn't usually buy that. She knew I was gonna be a fatass. The whore part came later.

Flavored oatmeal during the winter. Peaches and cream was the best, but my whore sister usually got that and I got stuck with cinnamon apple.

And you think Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries *isn't* pure sugar??

by Anonymousreply 54August 16, 2020 5:11 PM

Shredded wheat, oatmeal, corn flakes, Special K.

Like others, my mother wouldn't normally buy sugary cereals except for the first week or so of summer vacation when she'd buy those variety packs. At the time I noticed there were always one or two "varieties" that didn't really exist outside of that context.

As for sugar, I heaped so much brown sugar in my oatmeal and shredded wheat that they might as well have been Freakies. Freakies was the one I wanted most. When I finally tasted Freakies I was disappointed.

The only cereal I eat now is oatmeal, and only in winter.

We always had Rice Krispies in the cereal cupboard. After a trip to the market, there were probably ten different kinds of breakfast cereal. Seriously, that was breakfast for my entire childhood -- cereal with milk. Pancakes, waffles, eggs, etc. were something we saw on TV.

Grape Nuts was for Dad. Raisin Bran was Mom's. Cheerios and Rice Krispies were stand-bys for when we ran out of other stuff. As I wrote above, Post Oat Flakes were my go-to. But we regularly had stashes of Cap'n Crunch, Fruit Loops, Sugar Frosted Flakes, Life, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Super Sugar Crisp, Golden Grahams, Lucky Charms, Honeycomb, Quisp/Quake (I even voted to keep Quisp when they had a contest about which one to keep), and -- way in the back where it was unreachable by small arms -- a lonely box of, probably expired, Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

I had paradoxical taste as a kid. I either had Frosted Flakes or I’d binge on the old folks cereals, like Grape Nuts (LOVED it), Bran Flakes, or that twiggy All Bran. I was a weird kid.

I wasn’t a fan of the typical kid cereals my siblings loved (Fruit Loops, Cocoa Pebbles, Honeycomb, etc) EXCEPT on those very rare occasions my mother bought the individual multi-packs with the tiny boxes. They were hella expensive and I can count on one hand the number of times we had those.

Peanut butter Cap'n Crunch, Cocoa Pebbles and Apple Jacks were my favorites. My mom liked Raisin Bran, so we usually had a box of that in the pantry. I hated the cereals that had those marshmallow pieces in them (Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Lucky Charms). The marshmallows were chalky when they were dry and became slimy in milk. Yuck.

by Anonymousreply 73August 16, 2020 9:28 PM

I liked the original version of Special K better than the larger, “crispier” flakes that they sell now. They were smaller, cup-shaped flakes and they tasted better.

And, while I’m at it, it’s Smokey [italic] the [/italic] Bear. Not Smokey Bear. I learned the song when I was a kid: “Smokey, the Bear, Smokey, the Bear, howlin' and a-growlin’ and a-sniffin’ the air. He can spot a fire before it starts to flame. That’s why they call him Smokey, that was how he got his name.”

Our mom trended usually towards making us get what I used to call the "Euell Gibbons" more natural-type bran and oat cold cereals. The closest I could ever beg successfully enough to get some of the "cooler" stuff as a little kid, was if I ever convinced her to purchase an occasional box of Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops or Cap'n Crunch.
