I am not a big breakfast person. I ususally am craving something most people would eat for lunch when I get up in the morning. I still like my bacon and eggs or some apples and cinnamon oatmeal once in a while. This morning I didn't have either in the house so I ate a bowl of my daughter's Lucky Charms. They were so good. I used to love them when I was a kid along with Frosted Mini Wheats and Cocoa Pebbles and still like those now. Did you have a favorite cereal when you were a kid? Do you still eat it as an adult?

Yep, I sure do! One of my favorite cereals from childhood is one of yours that you mentioned...Cocoa Pebbles. I still eat this cereal as an adult. I have a couple of boxes of it in the kitchen as my husband likes it too. He's the one that actually got me back into eating this cereal. 
My favorite oatmeal from childhood is Maple and Brown Sugar. And it is still my favorite now. Though I don't eat as much oatmeal as I used to.

As a child in the 50's I liked shredded wheat or weetabix but I do not eat either of them now I much prefer porridge with honey or bran flakes with chopped banana and dried figs

I've always loved granola cereal and still eat it occasionally...it's the only sweetened cereal I eat these days. I usually stick to Grape Nuts and (non-Frosted) shredded wheat though I did enjoy the frosted type for many years. :)

i really liked captain crunch and alpabets when i was young and i still like them today but what i dont like about these cereals is the high price that comes with them...if it was a healthy cereal, i could see spending a little bit more, but for sugar to spend more? i dont think so!

The high prices is why I hoard all the cereal coupons and buy ALOT of cereal whenever a good sale is on, using the coupons. I end up getting my cereal half-price.

Weetbix was the cereal I ate a lot of when I was a kid. Don't get it here in the US so I eat Special K or porridge (plain oatmeal):)

It's a high-fibre wheat cereal biscuit that can be eaten with warm or cold milk, or you can eat it like that and add a topping or two.

I always liked Life cereal and still like it. We eat alot of cereal aound here, its good for you, its quick and easy, it taste good, and you have lots of variety. I used to not eat hardly any cereal til I started eating it again and was surprised how it hits the spot. I don't eat alot of the sugary cereals, they can get too overly sweet. I still like oatmeal and cream of wheat, chex cereals are good too.

I still love Cinnamon Life and Oh's cereal. Life puts my stomach in knots and it hurts so bad. I rarely eat it because of that.
I used to eat Count Chocula a lot growing up. Now I prefer the less sweet cereals most of the time. The Special K with strawberries is one for my favorites; along with Honey Bunches of Oats.

Yes, I do. Frosted Flakes is still one of my favorites. I don't eat it that often, but I do love it. I have another favorite from my daughter's childhood, though...lol...I love Cocoa Pebbles for a snack. I haven't had Lucky Charms in a very long time. My daughter never liked those. Believe it or not, she has always been a Grape Nuts eater. Blah! They taste like rocks to me! lol

My favorite is the original one: Kellogg's Corn Flakes. There are some many different varieties on supermarket's shelves. I tried numerous brands but always return to Corn Flakes.
I still eat cereal occasionally for breakfast. It is convenient to prepare.

I've never been a big cereal eater, even as a child, the only one I've ever been able to eat is Kellogs Rasin Bran.

yeah, I am like you - I have never been a big fan of grabbing cereal to eat for breakfast - but occassionally might grab a handful as a snack. Though I do like cereals, I just never feel the urge to grab it for breakfast - my husband on the other hand will eat a bowl of cereal any time of the day. I do like cheerios and cornflakes though and find them quite satisfying when I do decide to grab some.

My favorite all time cereal is Fruity Pebbles. I have loved that cereal since I was a child. I coveted it often because we couldn't afford it and often came home with Honeycomb. LOL

my favorite cereals as a kid were kix and life. i remember too we used to eat cornflakes with syrup on it...i went to school once and i guess i must have dripped some syrup on my clothes because the teacher asked me if i ate pancakes...i said no, i ate cornflakes...she thought that was the funniest thing ever!
i still eat life but it's so expensive i rarely get it. other favs included corn pops, frosted flakes, apple jacks, and fruit loops. iliked cocoa pebbles too but my mom rarely bought them!

I liked everything from Frosted Flakes...to Cherrios...Fruit Loops...Fruity pebbles...Apple Jacks and honestly when its on sale at the market I will buy them. I love cereal at any time of the not just at breakfast time. Its funny because I'm starting to find different ways to eat cereal. For instance I eat cereal with vanilla bean ice cream

Well I have quite a few different favorite cereals. The one that I remember and still liking it now is frosted flakes. They are really good. All the other ones I don't remember eating them as a kid. Occasionally I will put banana's in my frosted flakes but they are good either way.
