My dad worked for Kellogg's as I was growing up, so that specific brand of cereal was always plentiful in my house, and my go-to cereal was Frosted Mini Wheats. In adulthood, my staple breakfast is toast and egg, but if I do return to cereal it's back to Frosted Mini Wheats or Raisin Squares for me!
I think Reese’s, Captain Crunch, and Apple Jacks are my fave. I found myself throwing a box of each in my cart (after YEARS of not buying cereal like that) the day our county called to say school was “closed for the weekend” when the first Covid case was reported in our area. It was like my brain went back in time thirty years for a bizarre form of comfort 🤣
I do this during Eastertide with jars of Nutella! It always leads to too much bickering and sugar-high shenanigans to have regularly (plus it’s spendy), but as a special seasonally-bounded treat, it’s a winner.
This is brilliant! I love it. We got to splurge on sugar cereals on our week of family vacation as a kid. Lucky Charms was my fave, along with Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
My childhood favorites were Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch – I often ate the entire box myself, and I have the scars on the roof of my mouth to prove it. Nowadays, I am borderline obsessed with Catalina Crunch (are we sensing a theme here?). Unsurprisingly, the chocolate peanut butter and the cinnamon varieties are my favorites, but I also enjoy the honey graham and dark chocolate flavors. The fruity one (which taste very much like Fruit Loops, actually) is acceptable only if there are no other options. Whichever one you choose, make sure you let it soak in the nondairy milk of your choice for at least 20 minutes before consuming—the crunch is quite intense otherwise.
I love the Easter cereal idea! I would choose original Cap'n Crunch - you know a cereal is good when it leaves a greasy film on the milk. 😋The orange cookies look delicious!
I love Fruit Loops and Sugar Smacks (or whatever those sugary oat puffs are called). I don't buy sugar cereals often but those are my go-tos when I do.
I do enjoy Grape Nuts, but mostly as an ice cream topping.
I was really onto Kashi cereal, but now they have gone and ruined my plain type with sweeter types which I don't like. So I mainly make my own granola now. I confess there were some years when I loved eating Capn Crunch along with our daughters.
special K as a vehicle for consuming berries is delightful.
I'm also a big fan of great grains with raisins, dates, and pecans.
when I as a kid? Frosted Flakes.
Frosted Flakes growing up was my favorite, but now its Raisin Nut Bran. Who am I ?

I can’t really eat cereal anymore, but back in the day I really loved Honey Nut Cheerios — they’re just sweet enough that you can eat a lot of them 😆
I love your fun and light writing style, it always surprises.
And hoping the agent who is taking a serious look surprises you one of these days. You deserve a publisher!

Pretty sure our teenage girls would be asking for a family-sized box of Pop-Tarts. They KNOW they'll never have those except on special occasions.

Such a fun read. My favorite sugary cereals are Fruit Loops, Crunch Berries, and Frosted Flakes.
