Mixed with sugar was a delicious and very-appreciated 1990s childhood treat. "The dust". Rice krispies dust was also good with sugar.

I think I've thanked most posts in this thread because I love cereal! Mmm delicious sugary cereal! I even liked the post where someone mixed a load of cereals together.

I only eat weetabix though.. cause sugar equals bad and all that.

Still though, I'd murder some corn pops now!

Greatest cereal of the 90s perhaps? Either that or Ricicles.

Actually, does anyone notice that sugary cereals are way less sugary? Out of the leading chocolate-flavoured cereals (Nesquik, Weetos, Coco Pops, Coco Shreddies), all are way less chocolatey than they used to be. Weetos in particular are seriously diminished in niceness! Used to be crunchy glazed hoops of chocolate. Now they're brown cardboard hoops smelling feintly of chocolate.

I love Kelloggs Ricicles. But only once a year or so these days.

Kelloggs START is also great. I could (and have) eat a whole box in a sitting. But only a few times a year now.

Generally Weetabix or Porridge. Sets me up well for the day rather than leaving me feeling a bit unwell and hungry after an hour.

I like most most cereals with a few exceptions - Cinnamon Grahams - puke!

And does anyone remember Banana Bubbles - wtf were they about...

I remember as a kid adding a few spoons of sugar to most cereals apart from sugar puffs, frosties etc but now you never seem to need to add sugar even to corn flakes. I deduce that cereals have far more pre-added sugar nowadays.

I loved them in the 90s anyway. They were almost florescent yellow!

Yeah I think they are less sugary. Didnt sugar puffs have to change its name? I think Dave gorman was talking about it one night. I think he said because sugar was rationed during the war, it was seen as a total luxury after that, so sugar puffs included it in their name as a big selling point. But sugars popularity has declined so much now , that they had to change their name a few years ago to honey puffs or something.

My number one favourite has to be Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. I reckon I could easily eat a full box in one sitting:rolleyes:

Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs
"They're crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and they don't have a single natural ingredient or essential vitamin to get in the way of that rich fudgy taste!"

Yeah I haven't eaten sugar/honey puffs in a very long time - they were "the" nice-cereal my parents would usually buy for us as a treat! Surely one of the least healthy. Doesn't fill you up at all. Anytime I see them now it's in the likes of Dealz and there is something sad or "bygone era" about them, like the box looks really different. The new "honey monster" looks counterfeit or something. I'd say few parents would buy such a blatantly unhealthy cereal for their kids nowadays and that is why they have become so obscure.

Now you're talking.

The milk has to be nice and cold too :cool:

It used to be Kelloggs Crispix, anyone remember them?

Oh I see what you mean , that new box is depressing!

Jordans Country Crisp with Chunk Nuts is seriously good

Is the cardboard hard to digest ?

juneg · 04-10-2017 09:24PM

Sorriest thing I ever did as a parent was to give my kids anything other than porridge or weetabix....

They do love their sugary cereals when we are on holidays though, Kelloggs Krave, cookie crisp,

jojofizzio · 04-10-2017 09:26PM

Love all the old traditional cereals but in the interest of health etc. I have reverted to boring porridge...barely palatable but there you go...I fecking adore Frosties and would eat them all day every day if I could eat anything and get away with it...
Anyone remember yellow Ready Brek from the 80's ..butter flavour I'm sure it was marketed as...God I loved that stuff (three or four spoons of sugar I'm sure I had with it and warm milk)....oh to be five again...

Throw in one weetabix, and then fill the bowl with equal parts - rice crispies, cornflakes and country store.

Minus the country store and you're talking perfection!

branie2 · 04-10-2017 09:35PM

Frosties

gmisk · 04-10-2017 09:35PM

Kellogg's start...amazing!

Surreptitious · 04-10-2017 09:37PM

Don't touch cereal at all.

seachto7 · 04-10-2017 09:37PM

Palm oil. Palm oil. Got a nice one in Sainsbury's in Norn Iron a few months back but I'd have to say a freshly made bowl of porridge can't be beaten.

I originally got them because Take That were on the box!!! I loved them though, so that was lucky

whoopsadoodles · 04-10-2017 09:38PM

Pretty much all of them.

All. Them.

Cereal is like my heroin. If I buy a box I will not stop until they're gone.

That's why I generally don't buy them

I do actually love porridge though.

Aw man. I'd love a bowl of Just Right or Start or Frosties or Crunchy Nut Cornflakes or....coco pops. Ugh.

04-10-2017 09:38PM

Anyone remember these? My bike wheels were covered in them!

machiavellianme · 04-10-2017 09:39PM

Kellogg's golden flakes of corn.
The very best to me each morn... afternoon and evening.
Have them twice if not thrice a day.

Seve OB · 04-10-2017 09:40PM

I'm on an Alpen buzz at the moment.

But going by the cereals OP has been eating, o would recommend they try some Frosties..... Of course they're grrrrrreeeeeaaaaattttttttttttt and give the aul frosted shreddies a bash

Burial. · 04-10-2017 09:42PM

Full time porridge man. People complaining about taste need to get a little creative. However whenever I come across Frosted Shreddies or Golden Nuggets I can't help myself.

What's your favourite cereal?
