What'd I get to eat as a kid? Raisin Bran. Corn Flakes. Rice Krispies. That was it. None of your Honeycombs or Froot Loops or Hitler Flakes or whatever you sugar-addled brats were shoveling into your gullet. As a treat, guess what I got? Shredded Wheat! Maybe even All-Bran. So fuck all of you and fuck your obesity-causing advertising icons.
(In other words: I scored 3/20.)

As long as I live
Never will there be
A cereal more lovely
Than fruity pebbles
All the colors of the rainbow
and some in between

Quisp won the cereal battle but lost the cereal wars.
55%
I take cereal seriously.
Being brought up an army brat and living over-seas our ONE cultural connection to the US of A was my mom's monthly shopping trip to the base PX. There she could buy all that worthless crap we wanted shipped to us by the US military in their kind and infinite wisdom.
It was TORTURE waining for that day. First there was the scant few items my mother would allow us to indulge in... like a single pack of Oreos, two boxes of the despised but tolerated Raisin Bran, and the much prized Cap'n Crunch. But occasionally, like when it rains frogs or when dad came home drunk and gave us twenty dollars hush money, there was the penultimate treasure... a box of Quisp.
I remember I would run home from school imagining how I was gonna throw open the cupboards, tearing that place apart, just praying for a box of that sweet sugary smack.
And I get home after running at least four miles and there my brother would be. Helping my mom unload the car, giving me his smug "tough shit, junior" look. Because he had already secreted away the Oreos and the box of Crunch or Quisp.
"Your brother got home early today. I guess they had bomb threat at the high school. He's being so helpful. Isn't that nice."
Fuck you. I couldn't prove it but that son of a bitch would call in a bomb threat just so he could get home before me. You wonder why TK is the way he is? Blame that man.
A few years back a friend from Idaho came to stay with my wife and I. We got up early one morning and I asked him what he wanted for breakfast. "Hey I saw you had a box of Cap'n Crunch in ..."
"STOP right there. Nobody touches the Crunch in this house but me."
"Uuuh. Okayeeee."

My mouth’s celing is sick of feeling jaggy ragged
O Captain My Captain
Crunch you and your
deathberries in bruisy colors
slice me dice me, sugar coatedly
entice me to chomp, on those little golden bales of what the fuck ever they’re made of
This masochistic breakfast romp!!
You foil me every time with your
milkbowl maritime warfare tactics.
I long to drown you in 2% and skim
from the bubbling white your funny ass blue hat.
But even dead and lactose logged, you wouldn’t sog.
You’d be crispy, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you???
(benefits a lot from my performance, trust me)

Wow, I love cereal, but I only got 7/20. Now I know the true costs of not eating enough sugar: ignorance and shame.

kitchenrat, maybe you just don't think like a kid/cereal maker. Random guessing should get you 5/20.

It's not about what cereals you ate, it's about how much Saturday morning television advertising you watched.
15/20.
I wonder if Brendan "Breakfast of the Gods" Jones had a hand in creating this.

This quiz gets a +100 rating from me just for the Colon Blow reference. I always thought it was just a LOLOLDPEOPLE commercial. And then I got older.

I voted "Yes" for the Trix Rabbit in 1980, and dutifuly mailed it off to General Mills. They sent me a button with the Rabbit giving a big thumbs up in response. I never learned the outcome of this important election until now.

I got some wrong (watched a lot of t.v.), but I’ll see you in hell before I believe the “ad executive” conspiracy that Mikey’s guts didn’t explode from eating pop rocks and coke.

Sure Mikey's fast grown government authorized clone is an ad executive.
Psssst, don't let anyone know that I told you that the twin towers were strategically weakened with a binary explosive compound made from coca cola and pop rocks.

Needs a "US Only" tag. But even so, I got 50% (and that's from someone who grew up in the UK, and has really only eaten the one type of cereal for my entire life).

Hitler Flakes were good, but you really couldn't beat Francoberry.
