@marebear15 - I never had grape nuts but my mom tried to push Cracklin' Oat Bran on us - I don't even know if they still make it. Literally cardboard in milk!

I have seen Grape Nut ice cream in some places, I think it's a regional thing and it always makes me sad that someone would ruin ice cream with a healthy cereal...even though people say it's pretty good.

marebear15 · April 2019

@whitealbum29 - Ugh, why???

kiki047 · April 2019

Y'all are making me cry laughing at your Grape Nut/cardboard in milk convos. That's how I felt about Shreddies/All Bran, or basically anything with bran in it. I've never heard of Grape Nuts up here in Canada but I googled it and now I'm laughing even more at your descriptions of it.

@kiki047: it has the texture of kitty litter.

I've never had Grape Nuts but I guess it looks like kitty litter lol. I have always loved Trix, Fruit Loops and the fruity or chocolate Pebbles!

holly321 · April 2019

Now I want cereal. My dad always ate basic 4. He would get so mad at my brother and me for stealing the good stuff out of the box.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

Anybody like to eat cereal without milk?

DH thinks I'm a monster for munching on Cinnamon Life and Frosted Mini Wheats right out of the box - no milk. We'll I think he's a monster for liking Cap'n Crunch

ruby696 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 I will totally snack on FMW dry. They're delicious. And YH is a monster for liking Cap'n Crunch (and so is mine). Yuck.

ETA: spelling

kbrown2385 · April 2019

@whitealbum29 I’ve had grape nut pudding before and that’s delicious. I think it’s a northeastern thing. I’m originally from CT.

brookert615 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 Most of the time I eat it dry because milk is gross lol. That's how I survived in college, though. I always drug around a big box of cereal! And Cap'n Crunch is awful!

kiki047 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 ew, Cap'n Crunch! Heck no. I'll eat Cheerios dry. And sometimes Corn Pops. Everything else must have milk. My guilty pleasure is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, otherwise I just prefer Special K or Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@brookert615 my favorite cereal story from college was when 1 of my roommates used Rum Chata in her bowl of cinnamon toast crunch since we were out of milk. Not a good substitute 🤣 the alcohol just absorbed right into the cereal making it inedible.

brookert615 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 Hahah mad props for thinking on her feet, though LOL. I bet Baileys would be good with Chocolate Pebbles..

spacemountaineer · April 2019

Is it safe to make the assumption that grape nuts are the nickleback of cereal world?

Edit: grammar

b_1029 · April 2019

Mmmm rum chata...now I want Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I don’t typically eat cereal but when I do, my favorite (as an adult) is those kashi cinnamon squares (like mini wheats). As a kid I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reese’s - I mean...I still love those, but health or whatever

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 - I'm on a Life cereal kick now (regular not cinnamon) and definitely eat handfuls of it dry.

@kbrown2385 - yeah I think they're both New England things!

marebear15 · April 2019

I eat dry cereal all the time. My favorite are Honey Nut Cheerios and Cocoa Puffs. I got DH an assorted bag of cereals for work snacks and he ate the whole thing over the weekend 🤦

Okay, this might make people shun me for being a weirdo, but does anyone else mix their cereals?

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@marebear15 - hmmm I don't but that's interesting, which do you mix?

We're getting a lot of vital research done here today ladies.

kagesstarshroom · April 2019

Now I know how people who don't like oreos felt during the Great Oreo Thread of February 2019

marebear15 · April 2019

@whitealbum29 - Growing up we used to mix Cheerios and Corn Flakes. So sometimes I'll do Frosted Flakes and Cheerios, or Cocoa Puffs and Rice Krispy, Fruit Loops and Corn Flakes. Combos like that.

chichiphin · April 2019

+1 team dry cereal. I don't consume milk. at all. ever. except for half & half in my coffee.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@kagesstarshroom -

hahah yeah I missed that AND don't like Oreos so I'm glad I can participate in this one!

lcking82 · April 2019

I love dry cereal as a snack! And agree that Cap’n Crunch is awful - it cuts your mouth up!

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@lcking82 - yes! I was going to say I actually think Cap'n Crunch is kinda yummy but it hurts to eat it!

flowntheloop · April 2019

All this cereal talk got me hungry.
I like dry granola/cereal as well (although i'm not into the sugary brands blarghhh).
I'm trying this out right now and it is so yummyyyyy. Sounds weird, but it is actually really good:

shamrocandroll · April 2019

I love cereal! I actually like Cracklin' Oat Bran. **TMI: especially if I haven't pooped in a while. I also regularly eat Raisin Bran Crunch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@inthewoods23 I don't think it's weird to eat cereal dry, but MH eats his cereal dry WITH A SPOON! Every single morning he has a big bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios with no milk, and eats it with a spoon. I've known him for 11 years now and I'll never be over how weird it is.

Cap'n Crunch is awesome, and I don't find it hurts to eat, but I know a lot of people do. Maybe I just have tough gums?

spacemountaineer · April 2019

I saw this meme about captain crunch last week

I also found this while searching for said meme and got a chuckle out of it.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I guess that's the proper way to do it if you don't want dirty hands grabbing cereal from the box. But what a waste of bowl and spoon to eat cereal dry that way!

shamrocandroll · April 2019

@inthewoods23 Here's the kicker: he used to eat his cereal this way while driving to work! He would get Cheerios ALL over his car! I tried to convince him to put them in a big cup and just pour them in his mouth, but he says he HAS to eat them with a spoon. Such a weirdo!!! Also, he's the only one who eats them, so he can do whatever he wants with the box.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I feel like we would get some great results if we did a GTKY of our husbands silliest quirks. Why would you eat with a bowl and spoon in the car?!?!? Lol 😆

shamrocandroll · April 2019

@inthewoods23 That's a great GTKY idea! I still have absolutely no idea, even after asking him for his logic. It's completely illogical.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll ok so far your H wins, that is the weirdest cereal quirk I've heard.

Okay somewhat related, I feel like I need to come clean about my weirdest food habit b/c my cereal habits are boring...I snack on dry uncooked pasta pretty frequently. (And yet Cap'n Crunch hurts my mouth). I have forever. Running and hiding now, I feel like there's about to be a *record scratch*...like "wow we were enjoying ourselves talking about cereal like normal people, WTF did you just say??"

shamrocandroll · April 2019

@whitealbum29 Dying at your self-assessment of how weird that is. I knew quite a few kids I went to school with who ate packets of Ramen noodles raw. With the seasoning. I tried it, and it was NOT good.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I had a friend in elementary school that did that. Weird, but whatever lol.

@whitealbum29 you're fine, MH does that too and I'll munch on a spaghetti noodles raw on the rare occasion. Same with raw potato. I can't imagine eating a raw penne noodle or anything with thickness. My poor teeth! Spaghetti is at least thin and small.

shamrocandroll · April 2019

On a non-cereal related note, When I first glanced at the name of the OP from the most recent drive-by Peggy thread, I read it as Tim Allen, and totally read the post in his voice to amuse myself. AEUHHH???

marebear15 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 Raw potatoes??!

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@marebear15 he does the potato, not me! Although I have tried maybe 2 bites of raw potato in my life.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll - I've heard of that now that you mention it! I'm not that hardcore tho.

@inthewoods23 - I recommend fusilli!

Yeah penne is def not suitable.

kiki047 · April 2019

@inthewoods23 MF's grandmother used to feed his Dad raw potatoes. His mom jokes that it's no wonder he was so skinny when they met because clearly he didn't eat properly. Do you just eat it like an apple or do you cut it? With or without the skin?
(*edited for clarity)

@whitealbum29 also curious what kind of dry pasta it is. I've munched on dry spaghetti noodles before, likewise with dry, uncooked ramen noodles. And chow mein noodles (but they're already cooked/fried so that's not really the same thing).
