Healthy? Pretend healthy? Or kiddy stuff? And how about those toys - what's the best thing you ever got in a box of cereal?

On the rare occasions that I actually do eat cereal, I have Lucky Charms. I usually skip breakfast though, creature of habit that I am, so I only end up eating cereal as a late-night snack.

Hmmm.

I adore Life cereal (I eat it dry - yum!). Honeycombs are good when I'm in the mood. I actually love Shredded wheat (frosted or plain).

I hate any cereal that goes immediately soggy and clings to things. Any sort of flake, therefore, is immediately disqualified.

I grew up on Honey Nut Cheerios and Frosted Flakes. Can't really stomach the ultra-sugary cereals. Sitting on my kitchen counter right now are, well, Honey Nut Cheerios and Wheaties Rasin Bran. Usually, I buy one semi-sweet cereal, and one semi-'healthy' cereal.

Never was much for the toys...I wasn't real impressed by cheap plastic. :)

My favorite cereal has always been, and always will be, Cocoa Puffs.

In fact, my whole history class in seventh grade found out what a Cocoa Puffs freak I was.

Unbenownst to me, my 7 year old brother got a hold of my history binder and drew a picture of Sonny on it. In bright red ink, he wrote, "I AM CUCKOO FOR COCOA PUFFS!"

After the initial embarassment, I became the cuckoo for cocoa puffs queen. Can't beat a reputation like that in the seventh grade...

My favorite cereal is Reese's Puffs. I t has the tasty chocalaty taste of Cocoa Puffs with some extra peanut buttery taste. Beats any other cereal by a mile.
