What cereal do you eat?

[Pelado]

S'mores is awesome, btw. One of my current go-tos when I want a sweet snack. It reminds me of how awesome Golden Grahams used to be before they changed the recipe and made it all cardboardy.

How long ago was the Golden Grahams recipe change?

A decade or more.

[Lost Student]

A decade or more.

I did not know that but I loved Golden Grahams when I was a kid. Re: S'mores are you guys talking Kellogg's or Malt-O-Meal? B/c I like the K brand but strongly prefer MoM S'mores. The fact that it comes in a huge bag is a plus (especially compared to the pathetically small K S'mores box).

Edit: I just looked it up and the Kellogg's version is Smorz so I assume we are all talking about Malt-O-Meal.

I am definitely talking MoM or Post brand (i.e. grahams with marshmallow and chocolate puff pieces). The Kellogs Smorez are ok, but definitely a step down.

BTW, when MoM Smore's first hit the market, they were in a bag. But about a year ago, my local grocers stopped carrying them (even though they still carry all the other MoM bagged cereals). About that same time, I started seeing the Post S'mores in a box. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but from memory, they taste pretty much identical. I've long wondered if they aren't actually MoM Smores being sold as Post cereal. It does seem like Post has made a big push to introduce new cereals in the last 2 years.

As for the comparison between Golden Grahams and the graham cereal in S'mores, I think one big difference is that the S'mores grahams are sugar dusted. IIRC, Golden Grahams used to be that way as well. They aren't anymore, and I think that is a huge part of why they aren't as good as they once were.

I haven't had cereal in years. I don't even recognize most of what is in that picture. I loved Golden Grahams back in the day.

Sad news, indeed.

We're just blessed in the 208 to still have the big bag MoM S'mores, I guess.

Mystery solved:

[Green Monstah]

My favorite cereals that I eat regularly are all non-sugary.

Wheaties, Corn Chex, Cheerios, and Grape Nuts.

However, put a box of Cocoa Pebbles in front of me, and it will be gone in less than 24 hours.

cocoa crispies >>>>> cocoa pebbles

i eat all those cereals you mentioned above - currently have rice chex and grape nuts, but i put sugar on them.

I've been refraining from cereal since around the time that the dude told us about the Obesity Code.

Prior to my cereal sabbatical, these were among my go-tos:

Life (original or cinnamon)
Wheat Chex
MoM Frosted Mini Spooners
MoM Golden Puffs

Cocoa Puffs are better than either of those.

We try not to keep those or Reeses Puffs around or I'll eat them all.

This is incorrect.

Here's my take:

Cocoa Crispies are great. The key advantage they have over Cocoa Pebble is that Pebbles get mushy pretty quickly (I have never had an issue with getting them down the hatch in short order, however). But a fresh bowl of pebbles with cold milk is tops for me personally.

Cocoa Puffs have inferior chocolate flavor, and they tear up the roof of my mouth. Pass.

we currently have a box of Chocolate Frosted Flakes at our house. They are not great.
