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 or Start.
Quite partial to a bowl of coco pops too!

weeds they sell grape nuts in my local Sainsbury's. I've always been intrigued but never bought them!

Frosties, especially when you still got the top of the milk.

Honey Nut Cheerios. Do you have them in the UK? It's also my son's favorite so we always have them in the house.

I also love grape nuts but haven't had them in years.

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

They're (the original ones) definitely still around and do taste the same as they used to, although it's always a struggle to find them on the supermarket shelves. I buy them for me, just for me and not for my DS or DH (had this argument today with DS when he tried to take a mixing bowl sized serving).

Oat Krunchies! Wow that's a blast from the past, loved them!!

Nowadays it's porridge I eat mostly, occasionally muesli or fruit n fibre.

Not really a cereal fan

Clusters! I love them.

And nesquik. Only the original ones, none of the weird shaped ones.

I don't know if we have honey nut cheerios but our normal cheerios are the US multigrain cheerios, I think? And ours are glazed with sugar whereas the US ones are considered a healthy option. That's all I know from US friends being confused by the options in German supermarkets, which are the same ones as in the UK.

We have honey loops instead, possibly.

I have a really sweet tooth but strangely my favourite cereals have always been Weetabix, Ready Brek and Shreddies. All with warm milk.

Lucky charms. DM once found a cheap box when I was little and OMG they are gorgeous, full of gaudy sugar mallow charms. Now they’re £5+ a box and I only dream of them. .. as an adult I loved the ginger fudge granola Lidl used to do and that’s been discontinued 😭

Choco CornFlakes were my favourite but they've been gone for years now 😭.

Love Clusters but I hate the fact that all the lovely big nutty pieces fall to the bottom of the box.

An odd one I could only get in health food stores -- Fru-Grains. It was dark and malty and sort of like Cadbury's Flake in appearance but darker and a whole lot harder. You had to soak it in milk for about 10 minutes otherwise your teeth were at risk.
Then I liked Bran Flakes until I saw the sugar content.
On holiday in the States - Reese's Puffs. Dread to think how much sugar (and probably HFCS at that) they contain! Still, it's just a holiday treat.
Porridge made with water, served with a splash of SS milk. Sad

Like a PP my childhood favourite was Puffa Puffa Rice. I haven't seen it for about 40 years!
Now I'm a porridge eater. Salted, not sweet.

Then: Freshly opened Kellogs cornflakes with proper full cream milk.
Now : either rice krispies or chocolate Miniwheats .

Porridge occasionally - salted and made with water.

Force!
"High o'er the fence leaps Lucky Jim.
FORCE is the food that raises him."

Followed by devilled kidneys, bacon, mushrooms and black pudding.
With English mustard.

And toast with butter and marmalade. Home-made of course.
And coffee. Lots.

(Sorry, channelling my grandparents here.)

Then:
Lucky charms
Can't remember the name but they looked like chocolate curly shapes
Frosties
Rice crispier with loads of sugar!

Now:
Healthy things unfortunately! Porridge. Plain rice crispies. A cheeky Country Crisp if I'm feeling naughty.

As a child, Lucky Charms, Golden Grahams, Start, Wheetos, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Frosted Shreddies and those golden nugget things - can't remember their name. All terribly bad for you - I was only ever allowed a handful on top of Rice Krispies!

Now I stick to Bran Flakes / Shreddies. Boring.

Ohhhh and Ready Brek. Always Ready Brek. Sigh.
