1. Corn Pops.

At least I think that's what they were called. Dry, with no milk or sugar.

[debm55]

14. Thank you very much for sharing with us, oberle. I remember them.

[Coolgoober]

3. My favorite was Raisin Bran...but it wasn't my mom's favorite...

after I ate an entire box in one sitting at breakfast one day…let’s just say it was a moving experience.
I was not allowed to have that cereal again.

5. Corn Flakes because that is all we could afford.

It was a huge treat to get Raisin Bran.

[debm55]

20. Thank you very much , Ferrets are Cool. I ate corn flakes too with the rooster on the box.

[House of Roberts]

6. Buc Wheats

Not the sweetest cereal but I could eat it right out of the box.

[debm55]

21. Thank you very much, House of Roberts. for sharing. I don't remember Buc Wheats. Where they good?

[House of Roberts]

24. They were maple glazed wheat flakes.

Before they disappeared from the stores they were my favorite cereal. I would eat any sweetened cereal though, from Rice Crispies to Corn Pops, Alpha Bits, or Super Sugar Crisps.

[debm55]

30. Thank you very much for your selections of cereal, House of Roberts for sharing. Thanks for telling me what Buc Wheats

were.

9. Grapenuts with vanilla yogurt

[debm55]

[MIButterfly]

10. As a kid, I liked Rice Krispies. Now I like Special K

and every now and again, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's been a while though for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I don’t eat dry cereal much anymore because all the boxes are Giant Size or Family Size. What do one-or-two-member households do with that much cereal? It's way too much for me.

[debm55]

34. Thank you for sharing your selections with us, MIButterfly. I agree with the large boxes of cereal. I end up giving to

the birds or chipmunks.

18. I loved Rice Krispies or Cheerios

But I had to put a huge scoop of sugar on them so I could scrape the bottom of the bowl and get my sugar fix.

Can't believe I was a skinny kid.

[debm55]

39. HAHAAHHAHHAHAH. that's funny, thank you for sharing your selections with us.

[EYESORE 9001]

22. Sugar Smacks

I tried a bowl of grandkids’ version. It didn’t taste as ‘good’ with HFCS.

[debm55]

42. Thank you very much for sharing with us, EYESORE 9001. You are just a sweet person.

23. My mother was generally an Anti-Sugar Cereal Fascist...

and in today's nightmare world would probably be a devote member of the Worm Brain/MAHA Cult. While she usually pushed hot cereals such as Mother's Oats and Cream of Wheat, the Mom "approved' cold cereals were Wheaties, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, and Raisin Bran (she apparently missed or ignored the sugar sprinkled on the raisins). However as a treat on rare and special occasions, she would grant us the thrill of selecting one of the Kellogg's Variety Packs with all the sugary/fun delights inside. It made us feel like we were rebels and being naughty badasses.

[debm55]

29. Thank you very much for sharing with us. Wuddles440. I really liked those Kellogg"s Variety Packs. I think had them too.

You were a rebel, Wuddles440.

25. Very young: all about the sugar: corn pops, Captain Crunch, Life, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms...

Approaching adolescence (a bit less sugar): Rice Krispies, Cheerios, Hot Chocolate Malt-o-meal
Older still and approaching those dieting teen years: Product 19 (no longer made), Special K, and splurge: Raisin Bran

Last time I had commercial packaged breakfast cereal? Considerably more than ten years ago. For me, it triggers cravings given its processed carbs and sugar. Apparently doesn't for many others, but that is a deal breaker for me. Frankly, once started, I could go through an entire box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran and milk nowadays! But, I don't (for multiple important reasons...LOL )

TMI? Sorry. Just thinking back...

[debm55]

27. Thank you very much for sharing with us, hlthe2b for sharing your selections.

26. Loved this when I was a kid 👶 Plain Cheerios and Cream of Wheat.

[debm55]

28. Thank you Polly Hennessey. I loved Cream of Wheat. I found some at the store in individual packs in a box. Ate them

during this long cold spell..

[Nittersing]

31. Sugar Pops, Trix and Frosted Flakes

But mostly I remember the single serving boxes and cutting them open with a serrated knife along the barely perforated cardboard.

I think Mom stocked bigger boxes of non-sugar types and would buy the fun packs just on occasion.

[debm55]

43. Thank you very much for sharing. Nittersing. I would pour the milk into the box and eat it from there.

[LoisB]
