As a kid, one of our biggest thrills came from running down the breakfast cereal aisle of the local grocery store. Even though it was one of the hardest decisions ever to choose a specific brand, we can't say that it wasn't fun and worthwhile in the end! Here is my personal list of some of the best cereal to ever grace the face of the earth. (OK, so maybe not that extreme, but this is pretty serious.)
13. Frosted Flakes
Am I the only one who hasn't had these in like forever? Some of the best motivational commercials used to come from Frosted Flakes. That was probably a reason why I liked them so much. I think it's about time that I go scoop me up a box. In the words of Tony the Tiger, they really are GR-R-REAT!
12. Fruity Pebbles
I'm sure we all can agree that these are incredibly good. How can you not love the many flavors that explode in your mouth after the first bite? Plus, it has the Flinstones on the front, and who doesn't love the Flintstones?
11. Honeycomb
What else is there to say about Honeycomb cereal except that they're deee-licious. If you haven't tried these, you are truly missing out!
10. Honey Bunches of Oats, Honey Roasted
OK, seriously, these are good. I know some of you probably have your noses scrunched up; I was the same way at first. But, my mom forced me to give them a try, and I fell in love with them instantaneously. I dare you to try them and see if your thoughts change, too!
9. Honey Nut Cheerios
There is nothing that you can say to make me believe that these aren't some of the greatest cereal ever made. They're sweet, but not too sweet. I don't know why but I literally get happy after eating a bowl of these. I'm smiling now just thinking about them!
8. Apple Jacks
These aren't my favorite, but they're still darn good. Its the perfect mixture of both cinnamon and apple, without overdoing it.
7. Cocoa Puffs
You've gotta admit that when we were younger, these little babies changed the game forever. What other cereal could turn white milk into chocolate milk?! Ha! These will forever be one of the greatest of all time, without a doubt.
6. Froot Loops
Maybe because I have an obsession with a variety of colors, or maybe just because these taste really great. Either way, they are definitely going in this list.
5. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
What's the best part of Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Is it the cinnamon, the toast, or the crunch? The correct answer is … all of it!
4. Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries
If you have never eaten these, you need to get on it. Even though they will more than likely rip the roof of your mouth to shreds, they can still crunch-a-tize me anytime!
3. Reese's Puffs
You think you've got a handle on your breakfast experience, but you don't. These here are just … indescribable. Even though its not healthy to eat peanut butter and chocolate for breakfast, I'd make an exception for these any day!
2. Lucky Charms
This has got to be in my top five all time favorites. Not only are they magically delicious, but Lucky Charms are lucky indeed. I love these so much, I'll even take the generic brand!
1. Trix
Don't argue with me on this.
Best. Cereal. Ever. Hands down. And whoever said that "Trix are for kids" lied. I'm twenty and I still love them to pieces, literally!
In the mornings, nothing beats the feeling of opening and devouring your favorite box of cereal. Generally speaking, if yours happens to not be on this list, then they must be pretty plain or … irrelevant. (LOL, I'm only kidding. Don't bite my head off.) Hopefully, this list brings back some childhood memories and encourages you to relax and enjoy a nice bowl of some of your all time faves!
