Mine was Corn Chex, but they no longer sell it in the UK. They stopped selling it about 15 years ago. Now my favourite is Frosted Wheats.

Golden grahams
Coco pops
Crunchy nut cornflakes with ice cold milk

PinotAndPlaydough · 21/06/2018 20:15

Golden Graham’s as a child but I think they are called cinnamon Graham’s now and they don’t taste the same.

Lidl do a peanut and chocolate cluster cereal which is lovely but probably has as many calories as a bowl of ice cream.

Ricicles! Recently discontinued as I found out when 8 months pregnant and having a major craving, having driven to 3 supermarkets to find some Hmm bloody sugar tax!

BlooperReel · 21/06/2018 20:17

As a kid Ricicles, now Raisin wheats

My mum loved Force flakes. She was sad when they stopped making them as they were the first commercial cereal she'd ever had. I think I've got her Sunny Jim doll.
Me-70s special k-the little round Puffy ones.

Weetaflakes for every day, Coco Pops at the weekend.

Was Ricicles
Now Raisin Wheats

AnalUnicorn · 21/06/2018 20:18

Shredded Wheat. No added sugar, salt or other crap. Love it.

TalkinPeece · 21/06/2018 20:18

Capn' Crunch

purplecorkheart · 21/06/2018 20:18

Rice Crispies, I thought but actually really Corn flakes except they did not crackle and pop!! Used to think that 8 mini boxes of cereal packages were thr coolest things ever despite not liking most of the contents.

BitchQueen90 · 21/06/2018 20:18

Coco pops, Frosties, Honey Nut Cornflakes.

The ones full of sugar basically.

As a more health conscious adult now I usually have boring old porridge and fruit. Envy

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 21/06/2018 20:19

I'm partial to Special K and Crunchy Nut. Not together.

Can't stand Cornflakes or Shredded Wheat. Like chewing cardboard.

dogzdinner · 21/06/2018 20:20

Ioved Golden Nuggets as a child.

I have porridge these days but would have coco pops or similar as a treat

Mookie81 · 21/06/2018 20:21

Coco Pops all day long. Warm milk, slurp the choccy milk with a spoon first, then eat the soggy Pops. Grin

@PinotAndPlaydough I loved them aswell. They still have small boxes in Tesco!

BifsWif · 21/06/2018 20:22

I loved Raisin Wheats (remember when they were called Raisin Splits?) and Start.

I don’t eat cereal now.

ByAllMeansMoveAtAGlacialPace · 21/06/2018 20:22

Used to be sugar puffs, now it's crunchy nut cornflakes.

ScreamingValenta · 21/06/2018 20:22

All Bran for me!

Furrycushion · 21/06/2018 20:26

Golden grahams & cinammon grahams aren't the same, that's why they taste different. Cinnamon grahams used to be called something else, I can't remember what. Cinnamon toast, or something?

Alpen no added sugar but I never buy it as it’s so expensive.
Kids are mad for cheerios.
Am partial to weetabix.

It’s non-stop breakfast fun in our house I can tell you.

Joinourclub · 21/06/2018 20:28

I was a fan of Start. But that was discontinued years ago.
