I love cereal. I love all cereal, I like the healthy stuff, the sugary stuff, even the stuff with fruit in it. As an avid cereal lover I have decided to save you some time in the cereal and spread the word down the street about what's hot, and what's just... not.
My Top 5 is ever-changing making it unreliable so I will name a few and rate them out of 10 on a) Taste Alone, b) Taste with Milk, c) Attractiveness, d) Texture and e) Filling-ness.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch (Current Fave)
The kind of cereal children beg for. Delicious squares coated on both sides with sugar and cinnamon. Often over-priced. Very cute commercials.
Taste Alone: 4/10 (sugary coating makes it very messy, sticks to your fingers in a cheeto-esque way)
Taste With Milk: 10/10
Attractiveness: 8/10 (lack of colour, milk sometimes becomes dark grey, friends think lowly of you for powering yourself only with sugar in the morning)
Texture: 10/10
Filling-ness: 7/10 (not the best, not the worst)
Harvest Crunch (Raisin and Almond, or don't buy it)
The kind of cereal that moms won't frown upon. You're classic, high fibre, health cereal. It's basically like eating trail mix with milk. One of my favourites in the category.
Taste Alone: 4/10 (could eat, kind of small pieces though)
Taste With Milk: 7/10 (good- but not the best you can find
Attractiveness: 7/10 (not because it's cute, because it looks healthy which makes you look like you know what you're doing with your life)
Texture: 7/10 (crunchy granola, chewy raisins really add too the experience)
Filling-ness: 9/10 (I'm the type of person who sometimes eats cereal out of a tupperware, and that never happens with this bad boy in my -average sized- bowl)
Lucky Charms (Like a VERY close second favourite.)
Master the marshmallow to cereal ratio, and you're golden.
Taste Alone: 8/10 (especially the marshmallow part)
Taste With Milk: 9.9/10 (they're magically delicious- AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE RATIO)
Attractiveness: 9/10 (while not the healthiest option, in the right lighting it could be insta-worthy. The colourful charms and the tinted green milk, magical.)
Texture: 10/10 (perfect mixture with the two different textures)
Filling-ness: 6/10 (these marshmallows are like air, you will still be hungry after, no matter how big the bowl)
Mini-Wheats
barf.
Taste Alone: 1/10 (barely chewable, especially without milk to wash it down)
Taste With Milk: 2/10 (two points for the frosting, that's all I got. Sorry mini-wheats fans.)
Attractiveness: 2/10 (without frosting, they look gross, with frosting, they look grosser but taste better- YOU CANT WIN)
Texture: 1/10 (like I said before, un-chewable)
Filling-ness: Un-answerable because no human being could ever eat more than one because it takes so long to chew it, and so obviously you're still going to be hungry. Even if your still-full bowl could have filled you up it doesn't count because no one can actually chew it so no one will ever know.
And Finally,
Honey Bunches of Oats
The happy medium between tasty, and healthy. Not as healthy as some, but the disguise all health hidden within so elegantly that people may actually enjoy eating it.
Taste Alone: 5/10 (haven't eaten alone before, shape would make it weird)
Taste With Milk: 9/10 (health is unrecognizable, wide variety of flavours, everyone can find their favourite)
Attractiveness: 7/10
Texture: 10/10
Filling-ness: 8/10
