Are These The Top 5 Breakfast Cereals Of All Time?
Here’s something you may not have realized: The first cold cereal was introduced in 1863 . . . meaning cereal is now around 160 years old. We still love our breakfast cereals, even though they are not as cheap as they used to be.
Not every cereal that’s come out since the late-1800s has tasted good . . . and some have been disgusting. But it’s Friday, so let’s focus on the good stuff.
Complex.com created a list of the 50 best breakfast cereals of all time . . . and I hope you’ve had your coffee, because it might inspire some debate. But can we at least agree on the #1?
Here’s the Top 5: (And no, HEALTHINESS was probably not considered.)
5. Froot Loops . . . introduced in 1963. Who among us doesn’t remember settling down on Saturday morning watching your favorite cartoons and enjoying a big bowl of Froot Loops? They’ve pretty much remained the same since they were originally put out, and why not, they are perfect as they are!
4. Oreo O’s . . . introduced in 1997. These are pretty much what you would expect them to be, small little’s Oreo cookies that are just as delicious as their big cousins. You can’t say these are the most healthy option for breakfast, but as an occasional treat, they are delicious.
3. Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries . . . introduced in 1967. All kids love the captain! He always seemed like such a fun guy. We love all types of Cap’n Crunch cereal, whether it is the original or peanut butter crunch. There’s something about the delicious crunch they make in your mouth that brings back childhood memories.
2. Honey Nut Cheerios . . . introduced in 1979. (Cheerios is #31.) The original style were a household staple, but they required either a spoonful of sugar or something else added like bananas or strawberries. When Honey Nut was introduced, you no longer need to add anything to your Cheerios because these were great as is.
1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch . . . introduced in 1984. The cereal is still the number one because it taste exactly like it sounds, cinnamon toast that happens to crunch. They are so good. You might not even have to put them in a bowl and add milk. Plenty of people enjoy a handful of this cereal right out of the box when it comes to the ultimate compliment for a cereal, that’s has to be it.
