Frosted Flakes
Capn' Crunch
Frosted Mini Wheates
The milk has to be icy cold and I don't like soggy cereal. The CC and FMW hold up pretty well in milk!!
I do like Cream of Wheat Maple and Brown sugar for the winter! And on vacation I love a good oatmeal with brown sugar and honey. YUM!!!

During Lenten fasting periods, I usually make up some McCann's Irish Oatmeal and add brown sugar, raisins, and cinnamon toward the end of the cooking or heating up process.
Other than this and for a little variety, I will eat Kashi GoLean Crunch from time to time with some soy milk.
I used to like Total Corn Flakes, but now I can no longer find it on the shelves of any store in my area, so I have to assume it has been discontinued.

I'm a Corn Flakes guy. With just enough milk so that you can see it in the bowl. Any more, and you have ruined a good cereal. And 2 1/2 tsps of sugar. And a banana (sliced) added.
And no...a Corn Flake with sugar added is not the same as a Frosted Flake.

The really good old days
I'm sure that today's "Honey Smacks" are much healthier than yesteryear's "Sugar Smacks".
Meanwhile, when I'm trying to behave I eat the bagged, single grain, popped cereals - wheat, rice, corn without anything added.

Quazy for Quisp also. Available online. Though now I find Anahola Granola Tropical hard to resist. For a real splurge--forget the milk--corn flakes, freshly sliced peaches, (sugar if you must), and table cream. The kind you put in coffee.

Interesting that only a couple of posters have mentioned hot cereal. When we were kids, my mother often served Wheatena [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatena ] and my younger brother has maintained his taste for it.
I send him a case of it every so often. My sister-in-law hates it.

I eat Target's version of Frosted Mini Wheats almost every day when I'm home. It has much more consistent frosting than the Kellog's version. I like a good amount of Skim milk over it.
I love Quaker Weight Loss Oatmeal (brown sugar) with a splash of skim milk and 2 splendas. I'll have it for lunch sometimes.
I also like cereal as snacks. Sugar Corn Pops (no milk), Fruity Pebbles (usually milk), Golden Grahams, Frosted Flakes, Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries. Usually I'll buy the Target brand on these too. All healthy choices
When I travel I usually do shredded wheat with raisin bran mixed in.

OK - in addition to all of those, a childhood favorite of mine was "Sugar Jets". Anyone else remember that one?
I'm sure that today's "Honey Smacks" are much healthier than yesteryear's "Sugar Smacks".

Kashi Go Lean. Fruit (banana, pear, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, even Raisins and Walnuts). Soy Milk.
On occasion, i've mixed in any of the Post Great Grains cereals with the Kashi.
