Top 5 Breakfast Cereals

Not TV related, but I'm taking a cue from the D.C. Sports Bog here, who asked DC United player Bobby Boswell about his cereal love, and what his top five cereals were. From the post:

See, when Boswell lived with his parents, he would go to the grocery store and buy literally 10 boxes of cereal at a time. (He really likes cereal.) Then
he moved out, and discovered that cereal was expensive. Thus, he had to be a bit
picky to avoid bankrupting himself on cereal, and he came up with his Top Five,
and when he went to the grocery store he would limit himself to the names on
that list.

His list, in no particular order:

  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch
  • Trix
  • Honey Nut Cheerios
  • Honey Smacks
  • Honey-Comb
I also take my cereal very seriously, as underlined by my reaction to Jared's recent egregious error in buying Kix, as if that were a cereal that anyone would actually want to eat. And Boswell's right, cereal IS expensive. So my buying habits are usually dictated by what is on sale.

But if I had my druthers, here are my top 5 cereals, also in no particular order.

  • Special K (For when I have fresh berries and feel healthy)
  • Sugar Golden Crisp (much better than Honey Smacks)
  • Capn Crunch (Beware of the Soggies)
  • Apple Jacks (One of my 5-Fruits-a-Day)
  • Crispix (See Special-K)

Honorable Mention: Honeycomb, Frosted Mini-Wheats (gets soggy too easily), Lucky Charms, Frosted Krispies.

What're your top 5?
