What was your favorite cereal as a kid?

My younger step sisters liked Lucky Charms and Coca Coca Puffs so that was what was bought.......I didn't like those so I'd have slice of toast with peanut butter smeared on it or more times than not I'd just grab a couple leftover biscuits or piece of cornbread from the night before as I headed out the door.

Mom always fixed a real breakfast on Sunday mornings which was the normal stuff like bacon & eggs, pancakes, omelettes, etc.

Now when I fell the urge for cereal it's either plain ole Shredded Wheat or Raisin Bran.

We used to eat that sometimes. It was good :)
 

During war2 Kellogg's Pep came with little airplane/glider kits in them. Later Wheaties had little license plates.
 
As a kid, we did not eat cold cereal for breakfast. My grandparents lived with us and my Grandmother fixed a full hot breakfast every morning. But sometimes as a "treat" we could eat Cheerios for breakfast. To this day I am not a fan of cereal for breakfast.
 
We didn't get those packaged cold cereals. We had oatmeal, or cream of wheat or, the worst of all, Malto Meal. The rule was you ate what was put before you or you sat there until you did, or hell froze over, whichever came first. We weren't allowed to put a lot of sugar on them, either. I singlehandedly kept the "children starving in Japan" from certain death by gagging those things down. YUCK!!!

That was one of our favorite "day before payday" breakfasts!

None of the above.

Breakfast at our house was always something on toast - savoury mince, tinned spaghetti, scrambled eggs, left over stew gravy ... We fed cereal to the chooks in the form of pollard and bran mix, whatever that was and it smelled vile. The nearest thing to cereal was the occasional bowl of boiled rice served with milk and sugar but that was usually something that Dad served up as a dessert.

In the Winter we occasionally had a bowl of porridge with milk and brown sugar. It wasn't a favourite though.
 
Butterfly, I remember going one summer to my Aunt and Uncle's and she served Malto Meal for breakfast. Their kids loved it. Gross!!!
