To wonder who is buying chocolate cereal

[Blueyseviltwin]

Who om each is buying Lion bar and Oreo cereal? See also lucky charms, nesquick and coco pops
These aren't breakfast foods (or any sort of food). I literally cannot imagine anyone thinking it is a reasonable way of feeding children?

I buy the M&S protein cereal for my son regularly... it's chocolate. So sue me!

Currently my (slim healthy) 18 year old who is neck deep in A level revision eats mounds of Krave chocolate cereal. It’s a treat. It keeps him going. We all know it’s not a healthy choice OP. But sometimes it’s just the thing.

Weed smokers and students 😂 Seriously OP, a bowl of chocolate cereal in an otherwise healthy diet, never hurt anyone. I live in Spain and you would be shocked to know that many kids eat biscuits and chocolate milkshake for breakfast here. They eat an otherwise healthy diet and the Spanish have one of the longest life expectancies in the world.

Dunkers are cheese, what's wrong with them occasionally? If she's eating vegetables and fruit too there nothing wrong with them and you can get baby crisps which are basically baked corn!

I buy cocopops.
Cocopops and cold milk is the food of the gods

I buy coco pops and cookie clusters…from ASDA but not lion bar, snickers, Oreo etc… and hate lucky charms
with a passion, but there must be someone out there buying them.

each to their own eh?

I have 2 boxes of chocolate porridge!

Ooo love Coco Krispies and Lucky Charms! Frosties, Crunchy Nut, yum!

Sometimes chocolate cereal with cold milk is absolutely needed yummmm.

What's the point in your question?

Oh gosh! How utterly awful of us to not feed our children the finest of unfun Waitrose Weetabix served up with a side of contempt for us sugar-loaded, shit parents! What utter bastards we are! Won't someone think of the nose-dabbing parents, staring down their hawk-nosed beaks at us, glaring in anger as we reach for the fun cereal and ram it down our kids necks!

Oh gods! I'm afraid I will need to refer myself to Child Cereal Social Services. I will then feed myself a box of Waitrose most naughty rice crackers, and I will enjoy every dry morsal I torture my mouth with.

Goodbye cruel world! I have died a cocopop death, and my poor children are malnourished on all the other chocolate cereals they shall not be too far behind my sugary death!

Well - this is Bluey's EVIL twin, what do you expect?

Coco pops are god tier cereal

Me, for my children occasionally as a treat - birthdays, Christmas, Easter etc. why not? They are super fit and healthy, eat nutritious and varied diets, so I doubt a bit of chocolatey cereal is going to finish them off, and I bet they could run a 10k in half the time it would take the average mumsnetter!

Cocopops are amazing!

These judgey posts are so tiresome 😴

i thought of this post when they announced free breakfast clubs in primary schools this morning.
i wonder what cereal will be provided?

M&S high protein chocolate crunch is bloody great (and vegan) 🎉

No it’s not, but when you have a kid that is fussy AND isn’t fussed about eating/feeling hungry, it’s hard enough to get them to eat even things they do like. Sugary, empty calories are better than no calories at all. I’ve learned that the hard way.

Interestingly, the dietitian had Coco pops on my DD1 's meal plan when she was recovering from anorexia at home (FBT and outpatients). Good for something then!

Frosties and crunchy nut cornflakes have more sugar. Why pick on the chocolate ones?

Quite. I hope your daughter is doing better now. Mine is in the throes and coco pops, when she is willing to eat them, feature in her diet.

My bloody husband/ and his parents

Yes she is thanks. Nearly 8 years on and much much better.... Coco pops every morning.... She still loves them at 21. Recovery is hard but very possible... Keep going ❤️

Coco pops are excellent PMS sugar cravings food. I also like ready brek made with ice cold milk and sugar.

My husband is buying them. He eats them like snacks, it makes my teeth itch!
