The microwave quick oats tub that costs €2....what a rip off. Get a normal bag of porridge for 98c, whack it in the microwave. The exact same stuff!!

gaoife · 19-11-2010 11:15AM

Lucky charms cus they're €10 in Ireland!!!!!!! this country smells.

Branflakes cus they pretend to be good and then they have more sugar then rice crispies gggrrrr :mad:

Weetabix. Hate the stuff! like cement or something.

Blisterman · 19-11-2010 04:06PM

Cornpops, cause they don't sell them in Ireland or England any more.

And then when I finally buy a box in France, they taste completely different.

I can't believe this thread has got to 3 pages and I can still say this:

"Inb4 peep show quote"

Essien · 19-11-2010 04:19PM

The ad alone is enough for me to hate Krave

cleremy jarkson · 19-11-2010 04:25PM

Actually, I hate shreddies. When I used to get them rarely in the 90's as a kid they tasted lovely because my synapses were so underutilised due to constantly eating bland weetabix, bran flakes and sometimes rice krispies. But as the celtic tiger roared and weetos, sugar puffs and sometimes golden nuggets came into my house, shreddies became another bland, heavy, boring cereal. And the grannies ad campaign didn't exactly make me want them.

edit: was it just in my house that poor people buy healthier cereals? cause all my rich friends ate nice cereals

Blasphemy!!!

it tastes different depending how you make it so maybe you are making it wrong or buying a cheap brand:D

unlike those damn choco cereals that taste the same no matter what!!! :mad:

All Bran/Bran Flakes: The man who thought it was a good idea to put a bunch of twigs in a box and call it cereal, is a f*ckin genius!

I wouldn't exactly call my family poor and we generally only had boring cereals too. As a treat my mother would buy us coco pops once a year (Christmas

) and if we wanted sweets/crisps we had to buy them ourselves.

Archeron · 19-11-2010 04:36PM

Another sugar puffs hater here. While I love the taste, every time I eat them, my wee smells like them for days.

I also hate those new coco pops racer wheels. Okay, I understood the moneky in the ads all those years ago, at least he was in a jungle, but WTF does a monkey have to do with race cars with chocolate wheels?

pablomakaveli · 19-11-2010 04:37PM

The timing of this thread is perfect for me as i tried Sugar Puffs for the first time this morning and they are among the foulest food i have ever eaten. I

I'm now stuck with a big box of Sugar Puffs that i'm not going to eat. I would'nt even have the heart to inflict them on someone else.

Gunsfortoys · 19-11-2010 04:50PM

Any kelloggs cereal, the ads are atrocious.

Kold · 19-11-2010 05:04PM

If it isn't those cluster thingies with dried strawberries from Aldi, I don't want to f*cking know about it.

Also, best thread in AH this month. You done good kid.

cypharius · 19-11-2010 05:09PM

That Crunchy Nut bull****, just because I'm sick of the ****ing ads.

chakotha · 19-11-2010 05:15PM

Rice Crispies because they're so damn buoyant. As soon as I pour in the milk all the crispies on top cascade out onto the table. And the sugar rolls off the crispies and settles in a sickly syrup on the bottom. A grim f*cking scene.

Jazzy · 19-11-2010 05:17PM

how did the man drown in his bowl of alpen?

he was pulled under by a strong currant

Hehe

I remember that we only used to have 'healthy' cereals in our house - Weetabix, porridge and the likes. However, we used to get Alpen the odd time, so there would have been something to look forward to (breakfast-wise) many mornings. A nice powdery, sugary, fruity version of muesli to get up to before having to go to school.

Then guess what happens? - The ****ers release Blue Alpen!

Faith+1 · 19-11-2010 05:36PM

Frosted Wheats. Fecking cereal must contain 2 bags of sugar. Yuck :mad:

BraziliaNZ · 19-11-2010 06:55PM

Yeah seriously why no muesli without feckin' raisins? I reckon there's a huge market for it!

johnn · 19-11-2010 07:05PM

Shove your raisins up yer Arse OP.

Irish Guitarist · 19-11-2010 07:11PM

Anything with clusters. For instance Kelloggs Crunchy Nut or Jordans Country Crisp. They taste lovely but the clusters are always broken. I usually get maybe one decent bowlful from the top and the rest of the box is full of broken pieces. They just don't taste the same when they're broken up.

Daisy! · 19-11-2010 07:13PM

+1 For Alpen or Meusli with raisins. Those bastard raisins :mad: Is there any meusli that doesn't contain them? That Hi8 Meusli stuff is the worst of them! :mad:

I'm really quite bitter about this, I love meusli without those feckers!

spinandscribble · 19-11-2010 07:13PM

Lucky Charms. They're diabetes in a bowl but so tasty. Evil thing.
