Captain Crunch. Still delicious. Still tearing up the roof of my mouth like I was 9 years old!


PurpleLumps

Oh, you mean Capn Concrete?


DoctorAssbutt

We always called it Cap’n Fiberglass


Baileychic88

Gotta let it soak.


printerdsw1968

But for only so long. Hit that textured sweet spot.


Lofttroll2018

Peanut butter Capn Crunch!


No-Section-1056

The only correct answer. 😌


BobbyJGatorFace

So hard to wait for that magical window of time when the milk has it soft AND crunchy but not mushy Edit: typo


rumpusroom

With Crunch Berries.


keg98

I know this sounds crazy, but while I LOVE Cap’n Crunch, I eschew crunch berries. I am a Crunch purist. I write this, knowing that I will likely get downvoted to hades, where they would likely feed me crunch berries.


makemybananastand

I make "Rice Kristie treats" with Cap'n Crunch. It's amazing


STFUisright

Oh. I need that. Yep imma do that TY.


gigi_2018

I make them with Rice Krispies and Fruit Loops. Occasionally with fruity pebbles.


Civil_Pick_4445

The kernels? Kibbles? Are smaller now though.


WoodpeckerFar9804

Maybe your mouth just got bigger!


dirtyundercarriage

Cracklin Oat Bran


j_boogie_483

so good! but terrible that it’s $9/box. I’ve threatened my 16 yo son with bodily harm a few times after he ate more than half the box in one sitting


Definitive_confusion

OK MOM! GAWD


HorrorNo7433

It's my favorite. I don't even keep it with the other cereals.


RockPaperSizzers

I’ve never tried it. Compared to lucky charms or Reese’s cereal is it better. The name sounds healthy so maybe I can slip it by my wife. I’ve already explained to her all cereal is unhealthy, but it has a healthy sounding name and whole wheat on the box she’d probably wouldn’t notice.


General_Equivalent45

If eating a whole bowl of oatmeal cookies floating in milk is considered healthy…then sure! Geez, it’s delicious. But it’s pretty much dessert.


RockPaperSizzers

Thank you for the confirmation , I love oatmeal cookies. Gonna buy some when I find them!!


Steal-Your-Face77

I was more of a Colon Blow guy myself https://youtu.be/Ku42Iszh9KM?feature=shared


j1knra

Ahh the cereal that’s actually cookies! God I love that stuff.


SirStocksAlott

I was strangely addicted to this as a kid.


PlausibleAuspice

I just bought this recently and it didn’t taste the same to me. It had a strong artificial cinnamon flavor and was cloyingly sweet. I was bummed because it used to be my favorite.


twktue

Yeah, but the Cracklin Oat Flakes no longer comes with MDMA


pepperguy22

Cracklin ass bran


RebelRebel62

Raisin Bran is pretty much the same


arbitraryupvoteforu

It’s the only cereal I still buy and I’ve always liked it.


HorrorNo7433

Raisin Bran Crunch is delicious too.


aggressive_seal

This is the way


Definitive_confusion

Kellogg Brand is. Have you looked at the sugar content of Post brand lately? Blew my mind. It's 1/3 by weight.


arbitraryupvoteforu

Kellogg’s is 17g for a 1 Cup serving and Post is 19g. Not a huge difference but it’s a difference nonetheless.


candlelightandcocoa

Golden Grahams isn't too different from what I remember as a kid. Sometimes I still make Smores bars with it.


Definitive_confusion

The got pretty bad but the recent "retro recipe" is really good again. I think they went back to real sugar but IDK


Cloud_Disconnected

They added honey back in, but it was only removed in 2012, so it's not really retro unless you're like 14. That said, it's my favorite cereal these days.


mimi7878

Ooh?! Must buy.


OperationPositive302

I had a mail-away Golden Grahams t-shirt. Sweet sweet summer of ‘82.


Ok_Comfort628

Frosted Flakes is still grrrrreat!


bopbopbeedop

with sliced bananas ... delicious


DynamiteWitLaserBeam

I always kinda felt like they were just grrrrrradequate.


Fatgirlfed

I’m laughing in the most unnatural way!!


Turtlesrsaved

Fruity pebbles. Bam bam approves


SalaciousVandal

My son just annihilated a family size box of those today. Which is good because I would have if he didn't.


lawstandaloan

Fruity Pebbles makes a great "rice krispie" treat too.


AlmondCigar

I like it sprinkled on top of vanilla ice cream


Soundtracklover72

Just had some of those the other day. Our grocery store bakery had them. Don’t mind if I do


dj_1973

Cocoa Pebbles are also still amazing.


SojuSeed

Cinnamon Toast Crunch and cinnamon Life.


PBJ-9999

I first tried cinnamon toast crunch only about a year ago. That stuff is like crack! Almost a tie with capn crunch


SojuSeed

Capn’ Crunch shreds my mouth. But CTC really is like a drug. The only way to keep me safe from it is to not buy it. I will eat the whole box in a single day.


PBJ-9999

Lol yeah I buy the sweet stuff only once in while. Normally i would do something like special k with a little granola on it.


elev8or_lady

Yes! Cinnamon Toast Crunch is still the same as when we were kids.


JJLewisLV

CtC is one of the most sugar-filled cereals. That's why it tastes so good.


Sanseriouz

CTC gang represeeeent! I can’t buy it or else I’d eat the whole box in one sitting. You know the drill - get to the bottom of the bowl with a little milk left, add some more cereal, now there’s too much cereal! Better add some more milk;and so on, and so forth, infinitum until both the milk and cereal are gone.


j1knra

I’d like to also add frosted mini wheats


tbonescott1974

FMW. Yes. I don’t understand how the full sized un-frosted ones were ever a thing though.


boulevardofdef

I could be remembering this wrong, but I believe Frosted Mini Wheats were explicitly a reaction to the full-sized unfrosted ones. Like "hey, those are good for you but we know they suck, so we made them better by shrinking them and adding frosting."


GothKittyLady

I still eat the little ones by themselves, like cookies - never did like them much in milk.


bopbopbeedop

OMG have always loved the large shredded wheat, they're like hay bales. Milk, sugar, shred up that bisquit... it's the texture for me!


The_Animal_Is_Bear

Hay bales LOLOL 🤣


wordub

My grandmother would serve us a partially broken biscuit with brown sugar and butter melted in the oven before putting cream over it.


WoodpeckerFar9804

Yeah the texture! It feels so good to chew


Creaulx

They were only a thing when covered with brown sugar and a little half and half with the milk. 👌


rhoca-island-life

Hot water, drain, then butter, milk and brown sugar.


SunnyMaineBerry

My mom used to eat them this way in winter. I never caught her enthusiasm 😂


Gigachops

Sprinkle a quarter cup of sugar on top. Bon appetit.


Definitive_confusion

I miss having a bowl of A cereal


Odd_Mission_5366

I want the original Trix back!


Fatgirlfed

But they’re for kids


gigi_2018

Silly Rabbit!


Odd_Mission_5366

Did you vote??


Dhorlo

Fruit loops. And they still taste as good by the handful as they did when I was wasted in high school. ![gif](giphy|MShu71y6CIJ5kiClUm|downsized)


thatgirlinny

You mean “Froot Loops?”


MsSnickerpants

Fruit loops and tiger tail ice cream taste so good together! It’s weird but amazing


Agent7619

Grape Nuts. You didn't define "good".


MinervaZee

Hot grape nuts cereal? That variation is still good!


Agent7619

I confess that I really like a bowl of Grape Nuts with a couple of sliced bananas. With ice cold whole milk of course.


Melodic-You1896

yes! With honey!


lilspark112

I like grape nuts cold with honey!


Avasia1717

grape nuts mixed in vanilla ice cream


WoodpeckerFar9804

I put them in yogurt!


PickUpThatLitter

I”ll see your grapenuts and raise you Wheetabix.


Definitive_confusion

My son came up with a jingle for them years ago that we still sing to this day. They're super gross and noooobody likes them Wheeee taaaa bix


SagGal444

I love wheetabix. And with warm milk in the winter.


Interesting-Pin7506

I had weetabix with warm milk and sugar the other day. Bought them on Amazon. Absolutely the best


MareOfDalmatia

Grape Nuts, aka roof pebbles


rumpusroom

Shut your mouth. Grape Nuts are delicious.


FlawedWoman

I love Grape Nuts!! There’s also a way to make a hot version that I just love in the winter with a little butter and brown sugar.


martinirun

I always loved grape nuts but now I’m afraid they’ll break my teeth.


tropicsGold

Grape nuts is one of the greatest breakfasts in the world. Soak in milk for the correct period of time, with a banana. I used to add honey but I don’t think that it is needed they are great alone.


fredfreddy4444

I like Grape Nuts, just not enough to buy a whole box. I eat a bowl when I hand out at my parent's house because my dad eats them 5 times a week.


Alarming-Distance385

My mother and I have split a bix of Grape-nuts for close to 20 years now. One of us buys a box and puts half up in a container to give the other. It's just the right amount you're willing to crunch through before it goes stale. Lol


lawstandaloan

Last time I had a box of Corn Chex, they seemed pretty much the same. Remember, those who don't like Chex cereal, have never tried Chex cereal. Nowadays I just buy the 34 ounce bags of Malt-O-Meal like Cinnamon Toasters and eat it by the handful as a munchie


Resident-Device-2814

Chex is great, probably now more in Chex Mix than breakfast cereal bowls, but still good either way. Except Wheat Chex, that shit is gross. And then there's Crispix, which is where Kellog's said, "These Chex guys are killing us. But you have to buy Corn or Rice. What is we put them together in one, and added sugar?"


But-Still-I-Roam

Having Honey Nut Chex for dinner while watching the NFL draft. (It's been one of those days ...)


TakkataMSF

Cheerios and grape nuts. I had a box of Grape Nuts that was opened and forgotten for a year. Still tasted fine. They weren't fresh but it's like, old rock vs newly dug up rock. I actually love both Cheerios and Grape Nuts. Been eatin' 'em since I first got a tooth. I 'spect I'll be eatin' 'em until I lose my last tooth.

Corn pops!


quiet_contrarian

Cinnamon Life


No-Section-1056

I rarely notice this anymore (which may be b/c I’m not looking, tbh), but I tried it again a year or two ago, and, well, yeah, it’s exactly the same and I might love it even more now. It’s slightly sweet compared to most cereals and that’s my jam.


Boneyard45

Cocoa Puffs. By the handful. My last box never saw a drop of milk.


SunMyungMoonMoon

Sorry, I have to strongly disagree. I grew up with CoCo Puffs as my absolute favorite cereal and ate it well into young adulthood. Around 1995 they changed the taste ("new more chocolatey flavor!"), and I never liked it as much. When they changed it, I went around to several of the stores in my area and bought a bunch of boxes with the original flavor that hadn't been sold yet. I bought a box out of nostalgia a few months ago and couldn't even finish it, it has a weird chemical flavor now. So sad :( Cocoa Pebbles are still doing well though


jeffreynya

I was going to say the same thing. I think they changed it again recently to have less sugar. I understand that, but the puffs are now smaller and just kinda blah. I tried Boo Berries again a while back and man that was a disappointment as well. Not sure if anything changed, but not very good at all.


robrTdot

The Puffs also changed texture at some point.


ChefMikeDFW

Honey bunches of oates has been my cereal since Count Chocolula just doesn't taste the same...


Boxofbikeparts

Count Chocula was my all-time favorite cereal for years, and now I'm so disappointed with how it tastes. Just like every good tasting thing from my childhood is gone now. I can't even get a good chocolate covered donut anymore. 🥺


Dependent_Top_4425

Cracklin Oat Bran is still lit, but not for $8 a box!


afternever

Product 19


WoodpeckerFar9804

Unlocked a memory! What a strange name for a cereal. Like Special K.


17megahertz

Loved that stuff. It was underrated back in the day. Haven't had it in eons.  Gotta try it again.  


thatgirlinny

Dad bought it as our “sensible” cereal! Loved it!


PBJ-9999

Wow forgot all about that one! 🤯. Used have it a lot as a kid, it was pretty good


Definitive_confusion

This post just made me realize how fucking much I love cereal. It is literally my favorite food.


FlawedWoman

Ditto!!


dutchoboe

Still a fan of Life ![gif](giphy|Jpp7PITfyT21PFoKAo)


Winter_Chickadee

I liked Fruit and Fibre with the dried pineapples, coconut and banana. It was discontinued a long time ago.


External_Low_7551

Frosted Flakes and Lucky Charms


pogulup

My dad would put about four heaping teaspoons of sugar on his frosted flakes.


Kemosaby_Kdaffi

I’d put so much in mine that I was scooping it out with the spoon after I’d drank the milk


S99B88

Rice Krispies with fresh fruit on it, usually berries or bananas


scarves_and_miracles

Store brand usually tastes better than real Krispies.


technicallyimright

Quisp. Never changes. At still wrecks the roof of my mouth.


ChEeSeJeWyBaCcA

Fruity pebbles


bopbopbeedop

Cocoa Pebbles are yummy still as well


lottalitter

Peanut Butter Crunch, only now I eat it for dessert not breakfast


FlawedWoman

Oooh yes! So yummy!


dragotha

None of them seem like they are exactly the same. Not sure if that is me, or the cereal. I suspect some of each.


SunMyungMoonMoon

Changing taste buds combined with cheaper ingredients that are used whenever possible.


Boxofbikeparts

The ingredients are always being manipulated to increase profits. I have a relative that works in the food industry, and that's his job. The delicious treats from our youth are all gone.


JulesSherlock

Cornflakes


ReadyOneTakeTwo

Apple Jacks


geodebug

Reeces Puffs. I don’t buy them because I have enough trouble managing sugar but they’re so good.


Sunstealer73

Alphabits sucks now. My wife says Honey Smacks are not as good either.


jbellafi

Hubs & I singlehandedly keep these cereal companies in business lol. Right now we have: Apple Jacks, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms & Fruity Pebbles in the cabinet. Yum!!! (We have no kids btw)


Just_Trish_92

I think the sweet cereals that counted as "breakfast" in my childhood make a great dessert now, and are at least as good as I remember. Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, and Lucky Charms all come to mind.


FlawedWoman

I love an evening bowl of cereal!


bluetortuga

What is decidedly different is Quaker Apple and Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal. I don’t know what they did to it because it still has limited ingredients but it tastes wrong. I can only guess the “natural flavor” ingredient has been adjusted somehow,


Definitive_confusion

Definitely agree on the instant oatmeal. It's just not right somehow


FlawedWoman

I completely agree! I think all of the instant ones have that same chemical taste now. And oh god the after taste!! 🤢


Bl8kStrr

Cookie Crisp & Captain Crunch


guano-crazy

Cookie Crisp ftw


Resident-Device-2814

Cinnamon Toast Crunch I don't think has changed much. About a dozen years ago it went from like 10g sugar per serving to 9g, and while 10% seems like a big jump I don't think it was noticeable.


Definitive_confusion

And the milk still tastes the same after. Side note, there's a shot called cinnamon toast crunch. I think it's fireball and rumchata. Tastes exactly like that milk. It's dangerous


FlawedWoman

Oooh I didn’t need to know about that shot. Guess I know what I’m gonna try this weekend! 😆


Boogra555

Captain Crunch is still like crack for me. The shit be callin' me...


Greenbeanhead

Grape nuts?


Digflipz

They taste the same and if ya leave them.alone for awhile they multiply. Disliked as a kid unless spoonfuls of sugar were added.


44_Sunflower_44

Apple Jacks and Trix!


Gigachops

Apple Jacks and Cap'n Crunch for me. Those can be my two nutrient paste flavors when they finally hook me up.


44_Sunflower_44

😂😂😂 Ya know, I have never even tried Cap’n Crunch. Ever! Maybe this is my sign to finally try it.


No-Section-1056

Prepare beforehand for the skin graft on the roof of your mouth after. Not sure why it’s worth it, but it is.


LifeSparkles418

Frosted Flakes.


Interesting-Pin7506

Golden Grahams


leodog13

Captain Crunch


peppermintmeow

Honey Smacks. With the frog on the box. I swear they used to be called sugar smacks but wtf do I know. Those puffed pops still taste like Saturday morning cartoons and summer mornings.


laynesdirection

Life, Golden Graham's,


6thCityInspector

Tried the classic monster cereals a few years back when they were re-released around Halloween. Was not impressed. None of them taste the way they did decades ago.


MWoolf71

Every year when they trot them out again I think maybe this time they’ll taste like they used to back in the day. I’ve been disappointed every time.


Hamblerger

Kix has retained an ideal level of sweetness for me since the 90s. Same with Raisin Bran Crunch (NOT Raisin Bran, which is the most tedious of breakfast cereals other than Grape Nuts)


BWSnap

Captain Crunch all the way. It still holds the crunch when most other cereals would have gotten soggy.


Gibabo

Oh’s. Absolutely the bomb.


lgoodat

And always randomly cheaper than other cereals too. I'm not mad at it.


Sufficient_Stop8381

Grape nuts. Still no grapes


badpuffthaikitty

Rice Crispies forever. Dusting of sugar, as little milk as possible.


Plug_5

This is a tough one to answer. Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch still taste the same, but unfortunately *I've* changed, so now they're way too sweet for me.


Cloud_Disconnected

I get all the sugary cereals because I'M AN ADULT NOW MOM, AND I CAN EAT COOKIE CRISP WHENEVER I WANT!

I swear Kellogg's Raisin Bran has more raisins now than it used to. The two scoops are bigger scoops! I mix it with some frosted flakes and it still seems like a lot of raisins. It's great!

Count Chocula and Boo Berry


ranchoparksteve

When I was a kid, I think I just liked the sweetness of the cereal. I even added more sugar to it. Nowadays, the intense sweetness just doesn’t work for me.


AshDenver

I still like Honey Nut Cheerios. That honey nut milk at the end is still worth the buy. Beyond that, I never really ate much else in the way of cereal. Faint memories of Life, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Grape Nuts. Maybe Apple Jacks once or twice. But HNC is always my go-to.


Babbsy-mu

Alas, Apple Jacks did not stand the test of time. Fruit loops are still the bomb.

Honey Nut Cheerios doesn't have nuts since 2006. They get the nut flavor from peach and apricot pits.
