Life Changing Cereal Bowls

I woke up this morning, noticed the milk ran out, so I went out in my Crocs having showered so even the clerk at the 7-Eleven would notice I cared enough to bathe even for the simple act of buying groceries from him. Taking two bottles of milk home in a bag, put one in the fridge and opened the first pour into a bowl of Nutri Grain I ate very slowly, slowly enough to notice what real, enjoyed cereal tasted like. I've never known Captain Crunch or Lucky Charms in my country, but the simply joy of listening to Elton John in a quiet room at daybreak while I actually relished in my breakfast cereal... it made me glad to be alive, today at least.

It felt so good doubly because my family will wake up to fresh milk that was bought for them so they wouldn't walk to the fridge and find nothing to relieve their cereal of dryness. I did this on this Saturday morning cause I love 'em, and want them to wake up to a pleasant surprise that I did what they keep asking me to do for them when milk is low. I'm adjusting to new changes in the house and grocery rosters are one of these.

This is a cereal bowl thread, pick your sugar and marshmallow encrusted poison and dive into the milky goodness. What did you eat this morning that changed the way you even consider cereal as an option beyond a last resort?

I slept in.

I almost never eat breakfast.



Also I eat my cereal dry.

I can cook full meals for breakfast.

I eat rice soup or left over curry.

...

My first choice is Peanut Butter Crunch with strawberries and/or bananas in it. If I am in dire need or something to eat though, I rush to the nearby liquor store and buy Chocolate Rice Crispies.

A day I run out of milk is a horrible day. I cannot stand not eating breakfast.

I don't really like cereal. I only eat it if I'm really hungry and there's nothing else to eat.

Mom told me to grab a poptart before I went to work today. I told her no, I actually hate poptarts. She asked me if I hated all flavors. I said yes. She seemed surprised by this.

I then got some knock off apple jacks cereal, ate it and went to work.

I make full meals thank you very much,my parents are health freaks,so pretty much any cereal that isn't some type of "whole-grain" crap isn't an option. I make good warm meals with what they will buy,such as hot wheat

So while you can take your sugar cereal for granted,I don't get sugar cereal much.

I dislike cereal. My typical breakfast nowadays is a cup of tea (it used to be coffee, but I drink too much caffeine) and some fruit or something like that.

I stopped reading at "Crocs".

I was going to say the exact same thing.

Those god damn Crocs. Ruining a once-great planet.

Does anyone remember the Buzz Lightyear cereal they had a long time ago? That stuff was amazing, and it made your milk turn blue, if I remember correctly. Also, this website is a goldmine for anyone remotely interested in breakfast cereal.

A great way to add flavor to a bland cereal is to put sprinkles on it.

Feh. I usually can't eat breakfast, I have to wait a couple hours before eating anything. Most i'll get is some water.

Did you run out of vodka or something?

Yesterday I tried the plain, non-honey-nut version of Cheerios. It was very bland and unlikable.
