Life Cereal - Plain, not Cinnamon or any other mutation
Cheerios a very close second--and I would like to add that Cheerios (in my experience) is the only brand name cereal to maintain a vast level of superiority over it's generic imitations.

I actually like some off-brand types of Cheerios better.

Overnight Oatmeal

Put 1 cup of old fashioned (long cooking) oats and 2 cups of water in a slow cooker, attach a lamp timer set to switch on 2 hours before you get up.

Divide it between loving wife and self, add butter, syrup and a little milk.

Real rib-sticker.

Oh, and soak the crock in COLD water until you're ready to wash it. Slides right out.

Once you've heard the truth, everything else is ju
I'm old enough to remember a cereal called Super Sugar Crisp. The spokes-animal was a small brownish critter with half-shut eyes and Dean Martin's voice. And it really did contain the word "sugar" as part of its name, kids. That's correct, "sugar". And not just sugar. Super sugar. When I was five years old, a bowl of SSC at 6am was enough to keep me flying like a dervish until noon. That's when my mom would fix my brother and me off brand boiled hot dogs and Campbell's Tomato Soup. We'd be stoked with enough sodium and nitrates to preserve King Tut. Ahh, the fifties. Good times.

Woops, almost forgot. My favorite cereal today? Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. It's wonderful, and hasn't changed in fifty years (Tony has yet to steer me wrong). I especially love that last half-cup of flake dust and raw sugar at the bottom of the box. Takes me back to the heady days of my youth...

I have no idea what the brand name is, but it's an organic variation of Honey Nut Cheerios. I'm freaking addicted to it.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I'm a hippie. Especially since I put rice milk on it instead of cow's milk.

Frosted Shredded Mini-Wheats (especially the new Vanilla Creme flavor)
Captain Crunch <--childhood favorite, haven't had it in years

Back in the late eighties, I recall a version of the shredded mini-wheats that were filled with strawberry jam (and I think a raisin-filled one existed, too). Loved those. Ate them out of the box like snack crackers. I wish someone would bring them back.

Lucky Charms, and on occasion, Reese's Puffs, which is simply a cerealized form of candy, best without milk (like Apple Jacks).

Maryn, who rarely allows either in the house, because it sings to her from the cupboard

My favorite cereal would be Fruity Pebbles.
But since Fruity Pebbles are awfully unhealthy, I eat Kix.
Which is healthier.
Supposedly.

<--- Frosted Mini Wheats with soy milk.

But I eat cereal at night, never in the morning. Breakfast is coffee and a trail mix bar (unless it's Friday, then I treat myself to a blueberry scone and double tall soy latte).
