 Posted: 03/09/03 - 10:50 Post subject: Have you ever killed someone just to have your POPS cereal?
One day my son was about to pour the remainder of the box into his bowl, so I had to take out my scimitar and cut his arm off. bewildered, he looked at me and screamed,
"Oh dear God! Whyyyy?!?!?!! Why, did you do that?"
I simply told him,
"I gotta have my Pops!"
*crunch*crunch*crunch*
in other words - if you eat cereal - what's your favorite?

Being the Dad, primary grocery shopper, and the first one up in the morning, I am assured virtual supremacy over the cereal choices.

Prohemp--
do tell your armless tyke that you have done him a favor; although now armless he at least has the benefit of less sugar in his tiny system.
i remember when they changed the name from Sugar Pops to Corn Pops. 
i stand in the cereal aisle, bewildered, attempting to find a cereal a kid will eat with less than 9 grams of sugar per serving..... 
so far, it's Life and Kix and Wheaties. i spare them the Grape Nuts and Bran Flakes. i mean, it is possible to find a low sugar cereal, it's just that it tastes somewhat like shredded cardboard and the boxes are no fun to read.

Breakfast cereal is the one food in our house that I'm not ultra concerned about the nutrition. (ok, so I feel a little guilty, but I love cereal! )
(Makes for a good lowfat dessert or snack+ ya get calcium!)
My son and I are having a blast going through different flavors.
My current favorites are: S'mores Crunch from General Mills. (I think it's a rehash from the 80's--it is supah tasty and we are both trying to be polite and not just finish the whole box off.
I also like the berry/flakes/almond one. (Not special K--although that's ok) It has blueberries and strawberries.
My perennial favorites: Count Chocula!!! and Cookie Crisp!!!

Never killed anyone (although I have wished that on my brother and sister as a kid!)
Presently eating Oatmeal in the hopes of dropping my cholesterol!
Other wise it is usually lucky charms or cheerios

I loved Grape Nuts when I was a kid! Would probably still eat them today it my wife would buy them. The only cereal we have (other than grits and oatmeal) is the occassional bag of Lucky Charms.

I love the Frosted Mini wheats, and I buy them in the Quaker cereals bags....Which the store did not have on sale today and I refused to pay their reg. price....... so now my week is just ruined. This is one of my OCD behaviors and now I can't function at all. I gotta have my mini wheats.

Me too!! And the Grape Nuts O's are actually almost like sugared cereal!
Truth be told, if I could eat unlimited quantities of one cereal without any negative side effects it would be Cocoa Puffs!

I don't eat cereal anymore, but when I did, my favorite was cinnamon Life. Close second were any of the marshmallow cereals. I would eat all of the regular cereal pieces first, and then eat all of the mallows. It was like having a meal, then dessert!
