Chocolate cereal for breakfast is just wrong

[justaweeone]

Probably been done before ,however just saw an advert about a new and improved chocolate breakfast cereal.
Is chocolate for breakfast just wrong?

It's not something I would consider using as a regular thing.

What really annoys me is the way they try to sell them as being healthy.

my 6-year old says yabu.

When else would you eat it?

I love Coco Pops-at any time of day.

When is chocolate acceptable?

I'm happy for my kids to have chocolate pancakes, pain aux chocolats, coco pops etc for breakfast on occassions not every day.

The same way I'm happy for them to have a twix, mars bar, etc for a snack on occassions not every day.

I disapprove, but have fond memories of childhood breakfasts of bread and jam tartines with a big bowl of hot chocolate, so am in no position to be sniffly, really.

I like chocolate Weetabix minis, it's far nicer than crappy Weetabix, and fills me up more than a slice of toast. Otherwise I'd just have the chocolate as a snack instead.

Coco pops were always a treat for us when we had a variety pack on holiday. My mum had to look for the variety pack with two boxes of coco pops in to stop arguments!

It's never too early for chocolatey goodness!

Chocolate cereal is a treat here, although even when I buy it the dc would rather eat ready brek or muesli

Aren't they more or less the same sugar wise as non chocolate cereal? Mmm coco pops!

Coco pops are the shizzle

Chocolate for breakfast is marvellous.
Pain au chocolate, chocolate brioche, crepes, hot chocolate, ......
Chocolate cereal would't be my first choice though. I'd rather me or DCs ate something chocolate that was meant to be chocolate IYSWIM.

Choc cereals are a staple in our house.

I don't eat it, but I do like a creamy hot choc at breakfast sometimes.

YABU. Chocolate is always, always right.

Coco Shreddies, or even better Coco Orange Shreddies are fantastic...

I know...who eats weetabix and thinks 'hmmmm there is something missing here. I know - chocolate'

WIlly - Coco pops have 17g sugar per 30g serving, corn flakes have 8 in the same size serving

We have it as a treat on holidays, otherwise I am mean mum and the choice is porridge, weetabix (Aldi version), cornflakes or rice crispies. With fruit if you want. Possibly toast after if I've not got to the "effing hell we are running LATE!!" stage (75% chance) by that point...

I just can't bring myself to believe that they are nutritious and enough to last a morning of school...

YABU. It's yummy. I love it. DS however hates it. So it's all for me :o

Certainly YANBU as far as a daily thing goes. But for special treats (christmas, birthdays, hangovers) I love treating myself to a bowl of this stuff (and children are definitely not allowed ANY.)

I told my kids it was a breakfast treat.

I later found they had poured the whole box on to a sun lounger and were lying on it eating it. Two hours later I found them doing the same with honey nut cornflakes.

I wish they'd just eaten it for breakfast, chocolate or not!

I've stayed at hotels in Belgium where actual bars of chocolate appeared amidst the breakfast buffet.

Breakfast cereal is pretty much a con. "Part of a complete breakfast". What they mean is "next to a complete breakfast".

Just checked my cupboard

Fuel with choc chunks
Weetabix minis with choc
Krave
choc weetos

Then I have normal muesli, cornflakes, etc.
