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.

My local Sainsbury's used to stock Grape Nuts, but don't any more.
I'm going to have to do a road trip I think Grin

myusernameisnotmyusername · 21/06/2018 23:46

As a kid Frosties or Rice Krispies but I had Frosties a while ago and I couldn't believe how sugary they were! As an adult it's Oats & More but I don't have it anymore since doing slimming world. Now I have apricot, blueberry or raspberry wheats

KurriKurri · 21/06/2018 23:46

Grape nuts (I get them in ASDA)
Weetabix (hot in winter, cold with fruit in summer)
Bran flakes

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 21/06/2018 23:46

I had two bowls of crunchy nut cornflakes for my dinner tonight Grin. It was a toss up between that and coco pops. I do like a nice granola sometimes, but you can’t beat something simple with ice cold full fat milk.

myusernameisnotmyusername · 21/06/2018 23:47

Ooh crunchy nut cornflakes. I forgot about them Grin

LoveHateLove · 22/06/2018 00:09

When I was a kid I loved Start and Frosties

Now I love Wheatos and curiously cinnamon but I never buy them as they're too sugary.

bramblina · 22/06/2018 00:23

OP, Corn Chex I loved them!! Forgot how to spell them though obvs.
Grape Nuts oh yes.
I just have to stop there or this will not end well. We usually have about 10 or 11 boxes on the go at any one time. Cherry wheats. Start. Coco Pops. Alpen. Crunchy nut.....see I can't help myself!

steff13 · 22/06/2018 03:06

Count Chocula is my favorite, but you can only get it at Halloween. I love grape nuts and frosted mini wheats.

OP, do you want me to send you some Corn Check? 😊

steff13 · 22/06/2018 03:06

Chex. Damn autocorrect.

brizzledrizzle · 22/06/2018 03:17

Ready brek was lovely but needed half a hundred weight of sugar not stirred in but just laying the top. Now I have porridge with cinnamon or ginger powder in winter, but crisp in summer and porridge with stem ginger for a special treat.

Graphista · 22/06/2018 03:43

As a kid - anything drenched in sugar/choc! Especially Frosties and ricicles.

Now - not much better if I'm honest. Currently enjoying fruit n fibre/raisin bran as new meds bunging me up. (Sorry)

Daisy - take the bag out, turn it upside down and 'gie it a shoogle' (lightly shake it) should redistribute the heavier components.

"in order of preference and not all together" try mixing cereals together - can be tasty. Frosties and rice crispies yum!

Oddbutnotodd · 22/06/2018 03:58

Fru grains or grape nuts. Couldn’t remember the fru grains name but realised when a pp mentioned them! Quite like oats with milk and a bit of sugar too.

MerryMarigold · 22/06/2018 04:22

Cinammon Grahams(like Golden Grahams bit cinnamon version). It's called something else now (Simply Cinammon, which is a rubbish name in comparison). I like it mixed with Granola.

LapsedHumanist · 22/06/2018 04:24

Crunchy nut cornflakes

diodati · 22/06/2018 05:37

Shreddies with raisins and icy cold milk

adaisychain · 22/06/2018 06:03

Then & Now- Golden Grahams, Lucky Charms

Back as a kid- Banana pops

As a sensible adult- Cheerios

hellokittymania · 22/06/2018 06:14

I grew up in the US, so you had a lot that you don't have here. I think the one I loved was called tricks, it had a rabbit on the box. Anyway, they also made tricks yogurt's, which I absolutely loved. They were these yogurts that would have three different flavored layers. Yum.

Rainbunny · 22/06/2018 06:20

I loved bran flakes above all other cereals (I know, weird!) also shreddies were good. When I moved to the USA years ago I discovered grape nuts. In the winter on dark cold mornings, a bowl of grape nuts heated for a few minutes in the microwave with milk/soy milk is absolute heaven, like a grainy, nutty porridge mixed with the creaminess of the milk! Strangely I haven't eaten them in years, I suppose cereals & carb heavy breakfasts have fallen out of fashion now.

Underworld345 · 22/06/2018 06:24

I loved Wheetos before they changed the recipe years ago. Now they aren’t that nice - less sugar.

Also lucky charms - I expected everyone’s answer to be this!

Now Krave

OpenThatTrapDoor · 22/06/2018 06:58

Nesquick cereal and wheetos - don’t have them now but I could probably much through a whole box. (Did when I was pregnant with my first).
Also really liked Start as a kid and have had it a few times as an adult.
