Poll question: What is your favorite cold breakfast cereal?
If you don't have one, or it's not in the poll, or you loathe cold breakfast cereal, do tell.

Also if you buy a generic version of a brand name below, do tell.

My current fave is Berry Burst Cheerios.

5. ooh, that's good stuff
Do you remember back in the day, they tried to put "freeze dried" fruit in cereal? It was disgusting. Apparently, now they have the proper technology. :7

8. Yep they worked it out
and the best thing about it is drinking the leftover strawberry flavored milk from the bowl when the cereal is all gone :D

16. Shreddies!
Only in Canada, similar to Wheat Chex, but a thousand times better. Especially the maple ones. Of the ones on the list, I'm very fond of Corn Chex, whenever I'm over the border, I stock up on them.

49. I like my plain Cheerios with sliced bananas
It's almost like eating dessert in the morning.
I detest any high sugar sweetened crap.

20. Cold cereal sort of grosses me out . . .
because it involves milk, and sweet milk at that. (I dunno if it's the milk taste or the cereal-sweetened milk smell, but it just about knocks me out.) In the morning, I have two cups of coffee and then switch to tea. In the spring/summer/fall, I don't eat breakfast at all . . . too much going on and I'm not hungry. But in the winter, I have bread or toast with butter and homemade jam (kiwi/strawberry, orange, or blackberry.) YUM.

Even though they had perhaps the worst advertising campaign ever....Euell Gibbons pointing out that Grape Nuts tasted almost as good as a bowl full of crap he scraped off the ground in the woods....

32. I loove Fruit loops
but I eat Special K red berries since it has more nutritional value. But in terms of sugary, delicious cereals, fruit loops and apple jacks (they're even proud that it doesn't taste like real apples).

I like Raisin Bran, but I don't buy it nearly as often because of the HFCS.

38. Mocha Almond Granola from Central Market's bulk bins.
Stirred into vanilla no fat yogurt....best hot weather breakfast ever.


Mostly I eat regular long cook oatmeal, however.

41. Oooof! Not.
If I'm going to eat cereal at breakfast it's likely to be a homemade granola tossed lightly over the top of some yogurt with fresh fruit added in.

53. When I am actually eating breakfast it's Basic Four.
It tastes good, has lots of dried fruits and nuts in it, has added soy and is very good for you.
When I want to snack it has to be Crunch Berries. No shame coming from me. That is excellent cereal.
