When I was a kid--Slightly soggy Honey-combs. Ahh the memories. Damn it, it's literally been years since I've had them. Thanks, I'm going to the store right after work.

Capt'n Crunch would have to be my all-time fave, but a close second would be Honey-combs, dry right outta the box. I can't count the number of boxes I ate in college vegging out in front of the tube.

Post Raisin Bran - everyday for the past 5 years. When I'm feeling saucy, I'll buy Kelloggs Raisin Bran Crunch - that stuff is ssoooo good!

When I was younger, it was Cap'n Crunch Berries all the way. Though, I had to let them swim in the milk for about 10 minutes to get 'em mushy. What sadist thought up cereal that rips the skin off the roof of your mouth out of the box?

Cheerios for as long as I can remember. (And, no, this isn't some shameless attempt to bait you-know-who to post )

added: Yes, the plain variety. No bastard brand children thank you.

Count Chocula. or Vector.

Chocula's a mighty fine cereal. I didn't start eating it until I was 25. Vector is prolly the best new cereal to come along in a while that I can eat a bowl of and think, "wow, that was tasty and healthy?"

But Chocula. Wow. With soy milk, of course.

I'm eating Corn Chex right now, but they aren't my favorite.

I'd say Cocoa Pebbles, Apple Jacks, or Fruit Loops. I'm not all that picky when it comes to cereal though.

I haven't had Grape Nuts in a long time. I really like them too. Never had them with yogurt, though.

I alternate between Raisin Bran and Cheerios.

The people who mentioned Vector are dead-on, I love that stuff. (Hard to believe it's good for me) Can you still get Frosted Rice anywhere (Bastard child of Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes)? We could get it here in Alberta when I was a kid, but I haven't seen it for years. Of course I have to throw in votes for Count Chocula and Captain Crunch.

Coco Krispies with flat Dr.Pepper . A hangovers best friend.
But my favorite would have to be to mix Apple Jacks and Fruity Pebbles with milk thats been in the freezer for a few minutes.

I'd usually go for plain cheerios or granola, but this new Red Berry Special K is pretty damn good too.

Once, when I was totally wasted, (long ago) I ate a whole box of Cinnamon Toast, or whatever they are called. What a night that was. Still like'em though

When I was a kid, my favorite was Cinnamon Life. Now I really like Familia, Grape Nuts, and plain ol' oat bran flakes.

boo berry...thats the best.

boo and frankin berry had been off the shelf for years here in the detroit area (maybe all of michigan? elsewhere?) it was just count chocolua around here...nasty. then finally frankin berry started appearing. then at long last, boo berry, about 9 months ago in the big stores (kmart, kroger, meijer). when i first moved to detroit area 9 years ago, found a small local store that had just boo berry. they went out of business. since then i've been on a quest to get it...now i can all over!

hmmmm, boo berry

(and on a totaly sick note, but just damn cool...you know that whole blue + yellow makes green right? i swear that after eating a few bowls of boo berry and ala beavis and butthead 'taking a dump', the green glow given off, almost lights up a dark bathroom! hahaha. sorry, had to add it to the story. if you have ever had boo berry, then you know what i'm talking about)

and throw in just a touch of salt. really. try it. you will not believe what it does for the flavor.
...and to the art jrk: FREAKIES? Jeez, you have NO idea the memory stir you just caused... My consciousness has not even touched on that in at least 20 years... Snorkledorf... Grumbles. Man, I had ALL those magnets. I even still have a Grumbles on my fridge. I see it every day and, to be honest, I had COMPLETELY forgotten where it came from or what it was. Wow. Now THAT'S a trip...

Hmm...I would have to say Cinnamon Toast Crunch - a very tasty way to start the day. For days where I'm looking for a more nutritional start , Cheerios is probably my favorite.

I used to eat Cheerios pretty much exclusively, but my little sister loved that Nintendo cereal. It had two bags inside, one was Mario the other was Zelda.

Tasted like cr*p, but she ate it anyways.

When I was really young, I liked Winnie the Pooh cereal, although to this day, I haven't met anyone who remembers it. It was out in the very early '80s.

Nowadays I like Team. Unfortunately, it's really hard to find.
