This is going to be a quick Top 5 Friday post because I have a ton of work to do. But, as I firmly believe, blogging comes before work.(Boss: If you see this, I kid! My reviews will be done in ten minutes for you, I promise. Please don't fire me.)
This week the topic is favorite cereals. I love cereal. For me, every morning starts with two bowls of cereal and the perfect amount of skim milk (some may find skim milk to be repulsive; I find it delectable). It's gotten to the point that Samir makes sure to have a surplus of cereal and milk ready for me every time I visit. It's a slight addiction. Here are my favorites:
Top Five Cereals:
1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Honestly, who doesn't love this cereal? Cinnamon? Sugar? Delicious! I could eat it all day, dry or with milk. Actually, having it dry was one of my favorite snacks as a child.
2. Kix
Boring to some, delicious to me. Again, I like to eat it in the morning or as a snack without milk. I feel somewhat healthy eating it, too.
3. Cheerios
Not frosted, not glazed, not with bananas, plain cheerios. They're absolutely perfect. I bring them to work and munch away. I also like the yogurt kind too, but it doesn't live up to the brilliance of the original.
4. Captain Crunch
I don't actually have this one very often, but it's a nice splurge every now and then. It's a perfect amount of yummyness to wake me up in the morning. Yes, yummyness.
5. Cocoa Bumpers
My newest addition to favorite cereals. Like Cocoa Puffs? Wish it came in an organic alternative? Check out Cocoa Bumpers. They're absolutely delicious, incredibly chocolately, and might I say, better than the Puffs. They're a bit pricey, but worth it. I can eat them for weeks straight and love every bowl. And I especially love that I'm being slightly healthy.
So those are my cereal choices. Slightly boring, I know, but I'm a boring eater. Don't forget to check out RS27's favorites! (Samir's taking the week off - he has a friend from London in town who we're bringing to Disney tomorrow!)
What are your favorites?

I adore Kix! No one I know feels the same way. They're perfect: slightly sweet and crunchy.
I consider 1% to be an abomination, let alone the terror of skim!
Amusing story: Colure once tried to sneak soy milk to me, thinking that I wouldn't notice or something because it's oh so similar to actual milk. As always happens when Colure tries to sneak me something I dislike, I, uh, noticed :P
Also Cheerios are awesome
Lindsay - agreed. They're very underrated!
Kevin - I almost forgot! I had a Kevin moment the other day. My mom bought 2% milk. Staring at the refrigerator, I was like, "2%? TWO PERCENT??" It was horrible. And you would have LOVED IT.
Ooh this is fun!
1) Cocoa Pebbles
2) Frosted Flakes
3) Lucky Charms - I'm a child at heart
4) Fruity Pebbles - it's a texture thing
5) Crispix
My favorite Cheerios are the Triple Berry Cheerios, but they are hard to find, which is sad!
Golden Grahams.
And, scene.
For me, it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch at #1, and every other cereal was gunning to 2nd place.
Skim milk used to be the only thing I drank. That is, until our house became a soy milk house. I don't think I've had more than a cup of regular milk in a over a year! I'm not sure I have a favorite cereal. I tend to eat granola when at home. And Sweets has about 10 boxes of super healthy stuff that tastes either like cardboard or cinnamon (and I don't really like either)!.
Lau, I love you but think most of your cereal choices are ick! Cheerios esp, I have never understood why people think they're delicious. I also will hold the jury on Cocoa Bumpers because I do like a Chocolatey breakfast....
I guess my five would be:
1. Frosted mini wheats, or just frosted shredded wheat. It is the best texture EVER. Incidentally this is the only "sugary" cereal I was allowed growing up.
2. Oatmeal, IS A HOT CEREAL! I love mine with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of nutmeg.
3. Grape nuts. Crunchy then yummy!
4. Homemade granola, mmmmm. Esp if it involves CRAISINS. Which I add to almost anything to make more delicious!
5. Lucky Charms. Never buy them but they are a guilty pleasure!
Ashley - Crispix! Oh I love that one too. Man, I really like boring cereals. Ha.
Lexiloo - Oh I've never heard of them! Looking for them this weekend!
Andy - Hmm - they're good but I was never a huge fan. Maybe I need to try them again.
Tom - YES. It's just...so good.
Nilsa - So many people go the soy route, which is fantastic, but i'm holding out! And, yeah, I can't eat that healthy cardboard stuff either. It's...bleh.
Linny -
Bahaha - I love you. I can't do oatmeal, but shockingly I can do grits. Weird, right? Lucky Charms Justin liked, but I was never big on. And ugh, Grape nuts and Crainsins. I think I just went into vomit overload. Did I mention that I love you? :D
I completely agree about the cocoa bumpers!!! They're one of my favorites too :D
I've never tried cocoa bumpers, seeing i'm such a cocoa puffs fan I definitely need to give this a try :)
Honey Nut Cheerios, Apple Jacks and Fruit Loops!
I rarely eat breakfast though.
I eat plain Cheerios every morning for breakfast. True story.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of my faves, as are Rice Krispies. Yum!
I LOVE Cinnamon Toast Crunch! I'm also a big fan of the Yogurt Cheerios, Fruity Pebbles and Honey Bunches of Oats. Yum.
I had Kix for dinner!
Number 1 for sure is...
Honey Nut O's (w/ plain soy milk)
Cocoa Bumpers? Really Lau? Even then name sounds a bit sketch.
i seriously like ALL cereal.
ie honey nut cherrios, cookie crisp, kix, cinnamon toast crunch.
i want some NOW.
