Cereals that suck...

[guyjin]

The worst cereals that have ever crossed my spoon are Honey Nut Clusters

Clusters is awesome in all varieties and anyone who says otherwise is a commie homosexual!

I'm the homo (not that there's anything wrong with that), yet you're the one extolling the deliciousness of nut clusters.  Hmmm, interesting.

Some great food ideas here. Glad I started this topic now  . Just haven't been around to reply to it.
I have always wondered about Soy Milk and Rice Milk, because I always see it in the store; I think I may try some now.

Also, I knew that this was eventually going to come up, just didn't know how many posts it would take; Joe wins it at #18 - Nintendo Cereal System:

this stuff is the best!


WTF?  Are they saying that "berry" is different than "fruity"?  I want the system that has chocolate on one side, and cocoa on the other!

What about the new Diamond Shreddies? It's mind blowing!!

WTF, it's turned on it's side?? Marketing like this is hilarious. Makes me wonder if they are even being serious:

----------

slightly off topic- peanut butter alternatives are actually damn good.  I really like crunchy sunflower seed butter.

Have you ever tried Nutella?  It's a tasty blend of hazelnut butter and chocolate, though I'd like to try it sans the chocolate flavor.

Nutella is good. It tastes more like a chocolate spread than anything else. Nice alternative to Peanut Butter, and when you mix the 2 together, it's a rather nice combination, especially on toast!

LOL - Clusters is pretty good. Speaking of that, I just found these the other day. Not sure how long they have been out for, but the store I was at, was having a sale on General Mills cereals, so I figured I would try it, since it was essentially free after the whole thing.

Cheerios Crunch.
So far, I have only eaten 1 bowl, and I'm half and half on them. I think I am going to go eat another one, since it is time for breakfast anyway:

Clusters > all that stuff.

[Dark Fact]

Or so you think...

Isn't all boxed food laced with that stuff anyway?

You only thought you were fine until you were told you were sick. Now you are sick. Now you even feel sick,polluted inside,dying. Don't argue with us. Now that you are informed knowing is half the battle.

And Judgment Day is the other half.

Literally.

Not all. You can also use tocopherols (Vitamin E) to preserve boxed food, and it's not harmful. Vitamin E is a naturally-occuring preservative, but tocopherols are more expensive to use than BHT. Any time you have a natural substance like this, it has to be extracted from another complex form and is therefore more costly to use than a chemical compound you can produce from raw materials, such as BHT. But what's the real cost in the end? Most companies don't care about the health benefits and risks, they care about how much money they're making and have no problem using a cheap alternative to save some pennies even if said cheap alternative is a known carcinogen. Even foods labeled as "natural" or "organic" aren't always as healthy as they imply they are...you really have to read the label to make sure you're not being exposed to a bunch of crap-in-a-box.

I'm sad to say that the wheaties that I have been eating so religiously as of late contain bht . On a lighter note, cheerios uses vitamin E as a preservative. Oh well, you think that you are eating healthy but you never really know unless you do research.

my vote is for Corn Pops… ok, these little bastards do taste great but rip the hell out of the top of my mouth!!!

Capt'n Crunch/Capitaine Crounche is the worst for that.

Oh god, they taste great, but do they ever tear apart your mouth. 

[nodtveidt]

Yeah turbo D, I had to stop eating Wheaties too...General Mills is a real crap shoot, some of their cereals are safe and some aren't. We were buying a lot of Cheerios for awhile. But even some of the sweet Cheerios are full of junk...fortunately, the Honey Nut variety is safe.

If you see any of the following ingredients in your cereal, it's best to avoid said cereal:

High Fructose Corn Syrup (causes pancreatic overactivity which can lead to diabetes and cancer of the pancreas)
BHT or BHA (known carcinogens, also known to cause hyperactivity in children as well as liver damage)
Sucralose (brand name: Splenda; a chlorocarbon known to attack the liver and thymus gland [part of the immune system])
Aspartame (brand name: Nutrasweet; breaks down to methanol [highly toxic to humans] and formaldehyde [known carcinogen], and contains phenylalanines, which some people have adverse reactions to)
Neotame (same basic molecular structure as aspartame but without the phenylalanines; still breaks down to the same dangerous chemicals though)
Acesulfame potassium/Acesulfame K (not tested enough to validate safety...wanna risk it? The FDA says it's safe! Promise!)
