Alright, I'm seriously jonesing for some Cap'n Crunch right now, and it got me to thinking about the best meal of the day back when I collected GI Joes and got up religiously at 9 AM (or earlier) on Saturday mornings to maintain my precise cartoon schedule... Breakfast with those nutrition-free, mysterymarshmallow-laden, junk food cereals. MmmmmmHmmmm....
So which one was your favorite? Were you coocoo for Coco Puffs? Did you think rabbits were silly cuz they didn't know Trix were for kids? Did it turn your milk some color that is unnatural for dairy products? Or were your parents cruel and unusual for limiting your cereal choices to the ones that were good for you?
Pick your poison! |

Choco Ball? ���� ��? Had a bowl this morning! Awesome.
Crap... just realized I forgot Fruit Loops and Cinnamon Toast Crunch . How could I have let that happen.... 
Oh yeah, and in support of my choice:
| Some weird article I googled wrote: |
Cap'n Crunch (Quaker Oats)
Simply put, Cap'n Crunch (www.capncrunch.com) is the Rolling Stones of sweetened cereals, the standard against which all others must be judged. The breakfast-cereal-connoisseur site Empty Bowl (www.emptybowl.com) proclaims it the "champion of the nonchocolate cereals." In Cryptonomicon, Stephenson spends paragraphs lovingly doting over the physics of its pillowlike kernels. Simultaneously overpowering and sublime, Cap'n Crunch achieves a finely tuned complexity of texture with only a minimalistic treatment of its crisped-corn flour. (Empty Bowl nailed it precisely when it noted that the elusive taste the good Cap'n slyly hints at is none other than vanilla.) Under milk, it degrades gracefully. And if you can't wait that long, and the roof of your mouth is rubbed raw from the chewing of these crystallizations, well, that's the price you pay for tasting perfection. A+ |

My favourite was Count Chocula... ...I always wanted to try that cereal...maybe some Americans might know the name. They were advertised on TV....chocolate chip cookies...and a little criminal guy in a prison suit was always stealing them...? I never found them in the stores though....(sigh)... |

| It's a toss-up for the fruitastic Lucky Charms and Honey Comb. I'm leaning more towards Honeycomb, however, as Lucky Charms sold out by adding stupid balloons and clouds and crap. Screw that noise. |

I get my Honey-Nut Cheerios at Costco in the big two-bag box.....
Used to like to get the special Christmas Berry Crunch version of the Cap'n's during the holidays. |

Honey nut Cheerios are a superb cereal. Indeed, I buy the bulk pack at Costco myself.
For me, the king of cereals would be Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Honey, nuts something and something...Magnificent. |
