* In the picture book ''What Are You So Grumpy About?'', one of the questions is "Did your mom and dad forget to buy your favorite kind of cereal, so you had to eat 'grown-up' cereal?" In the illustration, the kid cereal is labeled "Chocolate Frosted Honey-Glazed Pre-Sweetened Marshmallow Nodules" (with a picture of a hyperactive kid on the front), and the grown-up cereal is labeled "100% Organic Whole Grain Wheat and Millet Food Substance: A Regular Food," from "Boring Acres" and with the labels "No Sugar, No Fat, No Fun."

* ''series/TheITCrowd'' Maurice Moss states he had "Smarties Cereal" for breakfast. It turns out it wasn't actual cereal but just Smarties in a bowl with milk.

Given all this, it's a mystery why parents even ''buy'' these cereals for their children in the first place. Perhaps they're just capitulating to the kids' demands. Except that often kids demands are not that often taken into account, and most kids are satisfied with anything tasty may it be very sugary or not so it's actually a mistery or marketing targeted...at parents.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' universe's kid cereal is called "Sugar Bombs", whose pieces are shaped like miniature nukes. A ghoul in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' will buy them off you since they can apparently be used to double the potency of a particular drug (useful for ghouls who are much more resistant to them).

** In one strip, Calvin eats so much of this cereal, he literally starts ''vibrating'' due to the sugar overload. Even worse/better, he's completely unaware of it, although in one strip [[CaffeineBulletTime he thinks that his mom was moving in slo-mo]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'': In contrast to Lucien, who likes cereals that contains more grains and nuts, Wayne likes the Captain Power brand of cereal that contain more sugar. In the episode "Food Fight", Wayne buys a new brand of cereal that contain extra additives and have the ability to give anyone a sugar rush even in the smallest quantity. Lucien becomes addicted to them in the episode and he decides to switch his breakfast cereals with Wayne's. This makes Lucien the hyperactive one and Wayne the slowpoke one.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'' the governor talks about an old cereal called "Breakast Clubs", which was apparently pulled from the shelves when scientists discovered it contained [[UpToEleven more than 100% pure sugar]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' has Lucky Captain Rabbit King Nuggets ("For the Irish sea-faring nobleman in you!"), with a mascot who's some weird mash-up of Lucky the Lucky Charms leprechaun, Cap'n Crunch, the Trix rabbit, and King Vitaman.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In one episode, Springfield is declared America's fattest town. Marge notes how unhealthy everyone's diet is, including the sugar-loaded cereal, "Frosting Gobs."
** In many episodes of the show, both Bart and Lisa inhale "Frosty Krusty Flakes", one of Krusty the Clown's most well-known pieces of trademarked merchandise.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
** An episode in which Grandpa and Tommy go grocery shopping features [[{{Kaiju}} Reptar]] Cereal: "They're round, They're mean. They turn milk green!" For adults, there's Corrugated Bran Puffs. The "Reptar on Ice" episode shows Stu reading the ingredients for Reptar Cereal on the side of the box (Including re-hydrogenated cardboard bits) and remarking, "Hey Deed, there's no actual food in here!" Didi tells him that Angelica (who's staying over) won't eat anything else.
*** Averted with the real Reptar Cereal that was sold at FYE record stores in 2018, which is just generic-brand Froot Loops.
** And over at Chuckie's house, Chaz buys "Dummi Bear Sugar Lumps", which, based on the coloring, appears to be honey flavored. Despite the word "sugar" in the title, it's probably less sweet than the "Reptar Cereal" because Tommy considers it yucky.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Grim reads off a the ingredients of Sugar Spanks. "Sugar" is both the first and last ingredient, and every other ingredient is "sucrose", "glucose", "fructose", or some other artificial sugar.

* A parody of this is shown as a short in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. The cereal is "Sugar-Frosted Milk" and it "stays lumpy, even in cereal!"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' has Smashmallows, which cause a hallucinogenic sugar high if you eat them through your eyes.
* The Sugar-Blasted Purpleberry Puffs cereal associated with the ''Purpleberry Pond'' cartoon in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Saturday Morning Fun Pit" are triple-coated in maple-flavour syrup. The final commercial is for ''Sugar-Frosted'' Sugar-Blasted Purple and Orange Berry Puffs. It's available in "regular" and "type 2".
* The "Sally's Comet" of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' had Arnold and Gerald trying to win a telescope so they can watch a comet that appears once every seventy years. They need fifty box-tops to win a telescope. The cereal they eat is named "Sugar Chunks".

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' had main characters choosing between various cereals: Candy Coated Zips, Sugar Biffos (which has a clown on the box), Chocolate Flakes, and Healthy Cereal. They buy Healthy Cereal.

** A third has Jason admitting that while his "Sugar-Frosted Honey Flakes" are gross enough to turn his milk into purple ooze, he'll still eat six bowls every morning to get a glow-in-the-dark dinosaur stickers offer. Paige, reading the ingredients, remarks, "Actually, I'm a little surprised '''you''' don't glow in the dark by now." The choice of the color purple is likely a direct homage to ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', in which Calvin has said, [[https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1987/11/05 "I won't eat any cereal that doesn't turn the milk purple."]]

* The cereals Candy Coated Zips, Sugar Biffos, Chocolate Flakes, and Healthy Cereal return from [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} the cartoon]] into ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHolograms'' comic. The Misfits [[SweetTooth prefer the sweet cereals]] while the Holograms prefer Healthy Cereal.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' has “Totally Awesome ACME Snax” and later a “healthy” cereal called “Branimaniacs”.

** In yet ANOTHER strip, the kids have nothing but a bowl of sugar for breakfast [[MindScrew and claim it STILL doesn't have as much sugar as most cereals]].
*** Well, there are certain plants that are actually ''sweeter'' than sugar cane (the source of sugar). But that's probably not what they were referring to.
