How can anyone prefer the taste of raw rice crispies to fruit loops.... You sir, are sick.


They have discontinued fruit loops here and I miss them.... Terribly.

(p.s my money is on the fruit loops on this one... I happen to know they lose their outer crunch but inside they stay nice and crunchy)

In England we don't have Apple Jacks or Fruit Loops. I feel so disadvantaged!

Do any of my fellow marijuana enthusiasts remember Sprinkle Spangles or Oh's?

My bet's on Frosted Mini-Wheats, but you do have an odd palette for loving plain Rice Krispies that much. Mini-Wheats are still awesome when soggy. Honeycomb would have sucked to the point of not even being able to be registered on the crunchiness factor.

Where's the ultimate gum slicer Cap'n Crunch (with Crunch Berries of course) in a soggy cereal test. You actually have to let those sit a while so you don't mutilate the inside of your mouth.

Hey Trickster, do ya'll have Cookie Crisps, Count Chocula, Trix, or Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles over there?

So... What's the deal? You consult The General, but not the Cap'N?

I mean, Cap's got it all over these lame grain piece-lets in both mouth-shredding crispiness, and perfect yummyness when sogged-out.

And, he's excellent at samwiches.

I second the Captain Crunch. That stuff hurts. I would also add Honey Bunches of Oats, the flakes get kind of soggy but the "Bunches" will still cut your mouth even with milk.

I'm just waiting for Kellogg's to come out with Concret-o's. The ad line would be "Well you asked for cereal that stays crunchy in milk. Here ya go bitches."

Or Krusty-O's, with the Jagged-Metal-Krusty-O(tm) as a prize hidden in the box.

Technically you'd be thirding the Cap'n.

If Captain Crunch were allowed, in the interest of fairness, I'd say it has to be Peanut Butter Capt Crunch. as regular (with or without Crunch Berries) would obviously win and PBCC, when soggy, is like eating peanut butter which is also cool.

@Alarm Clock - I hate it when my A.D.D turns seconds to thirds. CURSE YOU A.D.D!!!!! Oooooh what's that? It's shiny!

If you pour milk directly into a box of Cap'n Crunch, the box and bag will deteriorate before the cereal does.

Oreo O's are a real bitch too. I believe they're made with diamond crystals instead of sugar.

I have a feeling these Frosters will be making an appearance.

WHen I was a kid in the 80's there was a Cap'n Crunch style cereal called Halfsies. Those mother-Frosters NEVER lost their crunch. They disappeared by 1990... (Though an unopened box could probably kill someone about now.)

About Halfsies

Weetabix... It has the looks, smell and taste of a square of hay, wether dry or soggy. These Frosters are so tough when dry that you actually have to pour some hot water on them to soften them up a little before you pour milk on them...

Otherwise, the milk just goes right through the intertwined strands of hay, and you end up with the bottom side that's mildly chewy and the top side that's... hay.

I'm sure a Brillo pad would be kinder to the interior of your mouth.

Did anybody's mother care only for economy and not for taste,crunch or quality......She always got the "Puffed Wheat" the one that came in a bag the size of body bag for 3 dollars.

Crash Test Dummy, do you not mean Shredded Wheat? In my experience Weetabix go soft almost instantly when milk is added and what you described sounded suspiciously like shredded wheat..

We've replaced Randall's General Mills multi-pack with a variety of Kellogg's cereals. Let's see if he notices.

I like the Cracklin' Oat Bran

Not only is it a cereal, it also substitutes as colon blow.

Reminds me of scabs floating in semen... In the shape of a pizza.

Rice Krispies are one of my favorites too!

squeaky, like a Styrofoam packing peanut gorgeous.

Love the article, Randall! 24 hour test, eh? Hope you keep that in the fridge overnight, 'cause that's just nasty if you don't!

Yea, my mom would only buy puffed wheat, puffed rice and damn... what is the name of those huge unsweetened wheat rectangles? (Obviously not mini wheats... They look like a whole bale of hay.)

Well, whatever they were, all the cereal my mom used to buy was "healthy" and cheap. We kids would pour about a half cup of sugar on our bowl to try and make them somewhat edible. Unfortunately, the sugar would sink to the bottom of the bowl, while the cereal, clearly polystyrene based, would float.

I'm sorry but Fruit Loops taste like someone took a piece of cardboard and Shakespeare on it and then tried to feed it to me.

All I know is that hafter exhaustive research, I STILL can not find the taxonomy of the "Crunch Berry".

How could you possibly give rice crispies 9/10 for flavor? Eating those dry sounds like one of the most godawful "real" breakfasts imaginable.

I noticed the Raisin Bran tend to have a weird reaction to milk.

The flakes get mooshy and the raisins get as hard as a fat kid watching cake porn.

I remember a strange cereal called O.J.'s. They had commercials about rounding up the oranges at the O.J. corral. It was a Kix-like cereal but orange flavored. It was odd in that when I ate them I liked them, but thinking back, they tasted kinda strange.

Okay I don't know why you find it necessary to blatantly attack fruit loops like this. You are dead inside.

But they're not fruit loops. They're Froot Loops.
