Corn Flakes (and most of the legacy bland cereals that emerged at the same time) were first developed by weird religious nutters like Dr Kellog to stop you from masturbating.
That explains the big cock on the cereal box.
All plain cereal is dull tasting rabbit food. Needs fruit/chocolate/syrup/yoghurt/sugar etc to make it edible (see Cornflakes vs Frosties).
I’d go Greek yoghurt with it plus banana and some sort of dried fruit, perhaps cranberries.
Same here. But with no Shredded Wheat in the bowl. 😀
I cant eat cereal or porridge in the morning, it ruins my coffee. Afternoon or bedtime, yes please!
Cereal in the evening otherwise known as "nightfast"
I think Weetabix is quite tastey.
Puffed wheat is pretty plain.
Funny how your body can crave 'bland'. Maybe it's this thread subliminising me but had porridge for lunch.
Surely the worst cereals are to be found in those dispensers at a B&B - they're probably filled with the cheapest approximation to corn flakes/all bran or whatever but then left to slowly go stale and lose what little flavour they had. At least the weetabix are normally wrapped separately.

All breakfast cereals are the spawn of Satan. Every single one of them.Why in the name of all that is holy would anyone eat it when breakfast offers such delicious alternatives
Even as a vegetarian I'd concur that breakfast cereal is a triumph of marketing over anything else, it's the last resort option, I'd rather (and fairly regularly do) drink a protein shake (usually either pre or post commute by bike if I've had some real food at the other end).
Is there a cereal with less complex, highly processed, unhealthy crap in it than Shredded Wheat?
I object to the pejorative use of the word "processed" as a synonym for cooked, if I take some ingredients, cook them, put them through a blender/press/roller etc, does that make them processed? High sugar would be a valid criticism. But who on earth eats raw cereals?
Shredded Wheat is great for diluting tasty cereals, keeping the taste, but reducing the sugar and ****. See also… puffed wheat and kallo puffed rice.
Cereal is for people like me who can’t function of a morning. Porridge is great in this regard. Shredded wheat is okay if doused in honey and chopped banana. All Bran is some sort of punishment for sinners
I have porridge most days with just whole organic milk (actually delivered by a milkman 😳).
I sometimes have some Cheerios or crunchy nut cornflakes but I treat like a treat. Same way as I'd treat a pan chocolate or croissant. Lifes about mixing it up, I reckon.
