Favorite Cheerios cereal

What is your favorite Cheerios "flavor?"

I'm a nut for Cheerios and sometimes think I could live off the good old, plain style Cheerios. Generic won't do. There's something very tasty and fresh about the real brand! I even did a little blurb on Answerbag about how they're made. That's how much I love 'em. LOL I saw the title and jumped to grab it, called the company and got the info. Gotta love a world where I can get paid to write about my favorite foods! Here's the skinny on how they're made: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1996613

I seldom buy or eat cereal, but if I did I would consider it illogical to purchase Cheerios. I would buy a cheap brand of toasted oat cereal instead. I am hard to brainwash into paying more for the same thing.

Normally I'd agree, but plain Cheerios are an exception. Other Cheerio flavors can be imitated, but I've not found any generic that was the same in smell, texture, and taste.

There ARE a few things worth paying full price for. Not many, but some.

And if you don't agree we'll go to the BB parking lot and settle it the old fashioned way. A watermelon eatin' contest!

On one the show, HOW IS IT MADE?, they had a program that showed how Cheerios were made. Quite interesting

I saw a trivia item in a publication yesterday that said Cheerios were originally named Cheerioats. I wonder if Post Toasties were originally named Cornies.

:laugh: on looking that up, wikipedia says the original name of Post Toasties was Elijah's Manna. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Toasties
