Hey Everyone,

I was in a store recently and saw a display for an Oldie But Goodie from my childhood -- Monster Cereals!

1727360243497.jpeg

My Mom has always been health conscious, but every now and then we would convince her to buy something fun, colorful, and completely devoid of any nutrition. Monster Cereals happened to one of our major victories at the morning table, with Boo Berry being my favorite because it was so unique (how many other artificially flavored blueberry cereals have YOU tried?!) :LOL:

Another favorite blast from the past was good old Smurf Berry Crunch, and let's just say, we unwittingly discovered that the food coloring in this cereal (particularly the blue) stays with you, uh, the whole way through (my Mom still jokes about that to this day.) :ROFL:

And, for those who remember the days when The A-Team dominated weekly television, who could forget that Mr. T had his very own cereal!

Every now and then, I like to take a look all the modern-day renditions, usually in the form of Disney, Marvel, or Pokemon "cereals" -- and, just for old times, I might even pick up a box of Fruity Pebbles as a treat.

How about you?

* What are some favorite fun cereals you liked as a kid, and maybe even still pick up now?

* What cereals do your kids or other family members ask for -- and do you give in and buy them?

* What cereals do you miss and wish would come back, and what are some you hope to never see again? :)

Anything besides Post Grape Nuts. They have the consistency of gravel. Kellogg's Frosted Flakes are "Greattt!!!" At least that is Tony the Tiger's opinion. I enjoy Rice Krispies with various types of berries.

Whoever thought crushed rocks would be a good texture for a morning cereal definitely needs to be put in the Timeout Chair.




It seems our Official List of Foods That Have a Special Place in Food Hell now includes:

1. Miracle Whip

2. Margarine (except for those who can't have dairy)

3. Grape Nuts


Imagine being made to eat all 3 of these at once... :sick::oops:

Too horrible to even contemplate. Probably could add decaf coffee to the list too.

Oooohhh, I'm sure the majority of members here would agree with you :LOL:, but as someone with caffeine sensitivities, I have to plead for at least half a cup of mercy when it comes to decaf. :cry:

Naturally decaffeinated coffee is fine. I don't drink it, but I see no reason why others can't.

Yeah, my wife drinks decaf too but occasionally will imbibe with a mug of high-test. I have been drinking coffee since I was about 9 or 10. Decaf is an abomination.

Only difference between organic and non-organic cereal is the sugar content.

not true around here. by course, i only eat Sucanat for sugar. these cereals are made very local by farmers & they are much better than store bought cereals. we have homegrown quinoa, flaxseed, wheats, fruits, grains, oats, etc. in addition to that: millet, hazelnuts, wheat germ, almonds & such best cereal i ever had.
