Question: Anyone out there eat the Breakfast of Champions? Or are you still cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs? Do they still make Cocoa Puffs? Which cereal is your favorite?

    Wheaties or Total. Whichever I can get cheaper. I like the wheat grain cereal as it seems to stick better and not send my blood sugar skyward.

  • Cindy_H on July 24 at 10:55 a.m.

    Peanut Butter Captain Crunch.

    And yes DFO, they still make Cocoa Puffs. I just stepped on some on my kitchen floor.
    *Wheaties tastes like sawdust*

    Cheerios with a side of Shredded Wheat.

  • chatterbox on July 24 at 11:25 a.m.

    Honey Nut Cheerios, Raisin Bran, and on occasion when the stomach is a little queasy, plain Special K.

    True confession. I eat cereal in the evening for a snack. I hardly can choke it down when I try in the morning. Then, I’m not a breakfast person. Mebbe a hard boiled egg and a piece of toast. Max. I know, I know … breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Blah, blah, blah …

  • Cindy_H on July 24 at 11:41 a.m.

    I only eat breakfast on weekends :-)

    I love cereal for dinner. And DFO - I could not ever choke down a hard boiled egg any time of the day. Yuck. (Do you know that is what nursing homes give to the residents on some days when they don’t want to go through the process of scrambling eggs? I know because I helped feed my mother-in-law. Old people don’t like hard boiled eggs either.)

    So, you’re saying that I’m not a Seasoned Citizen — no matter what the calendar sez — as long as I can stomach a hard-boiled egg in the morning? I think I’ve found the fountain of youth.

    Breakfast for me usually involves Frosted Mini Wheats and Soy Milk OR Vanilla Yogurt mixed with fruit or frozen berries AND a couple slices of sourdough toast with Butterlicious spread. I can’t do coffee so I either do Crystal Lite Raspberry Energy drink w/ caffeine. If I can afford it, I might have a Jamba Juice or a Kombucha (fermented tea). Fascinating, isn’t it?

  • George_Sands on July 24 at 12:55 p.m.

    I heard in the 60’s Weedies was a popular cereal, cough, cough

    Poll question:

    Is a single flake of Wheeties cereal a Weatie, or a Wheaties?

  • Charlie on July 24 at 1:22 p.m.

    Don’t forget the original breakfast of champions, a bowl of Wheaties and a beer!

  • hereinidaho on July 24 at 2:12 p.m.

    It’s impossible to buy my favorite cereal now. Quaker Puffed Wheat, shot from guns, has been my #1 cereal since as far back as I remember. Now I can’t find any brand of unsweetened Puffed Wheat anywhere. So I’m eating my second favorite, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, the cereal that talks.

  • Escapee on July 24 at 7:35 p.m.

    Bran Flakes. Any Brand. They clean ya out like a white tornado. Hey, I’m gettin’ old, what can I say…

  • wheels on July 25 at 7:59 a.m.

    Anything bran or wheat every morning/with yogurt and bananas.Maybe some cinamon wheat toast also for a treat and of course OJ.

  • marmitetoasty on July 25 at 8:06 a.m.

    Soft boiled runny yoked egg in an eggcup with marmite soldiers for dunking would be the best breakfast in the world…so runny that when ya dunk ya soldiers in the yoke it all drips down the side of the shell….so ya have to lick LOL.. this is reserved for weekends when I have soft runny Janet me chicken eggs and my lads have bacon butties by the score….

    During the week though I usually have marmite on toast and sometimes peanut butter on top of the marmite….
