Best and worst breakfast cereal

Sugar Puffs, but you can't get them anymore so Coco Pops or Cornflakes with ice-cold milk and a little sugar

Best - Kelloggs 'Start', lovely wheaty honey taste, but I rarely see it much these days.

Worst - ready brek, tis like porridge for Noobs.

Favourite: No Added Sugar Alpen. Eat it every morning. A medley of textures. Never get tired of it.

I do like Cornflakes with a little sugar and cold milk, but as an occasional evening snack. Weetabix would be my preference in lieu of the Alpen for breakfast.

Least Favourite: Special K. Anemic Cornflakes.

I’ve never eaten them, but the very concept of Lucky Charms repulses me.

‘Start’ was great. Was it discontinued?

I guess ‘Crunchy Nut Cornflakes’ or ‘Honey Nut Cheerios’ would be the best now.

‘Weetabix’ would be the worst, not sure how anyone eats that muck.

Oh not had either.

But related I do love all bran golden crunch would recommend (as long as you haven't got any fillings)

Cornflakes, sugar, cold milk....

worst... any Museli... like eating crap off the ground in a forest.

I like the plain stuff, corn flakes, rice crispies, weetabix or on a cold morning if I have time flahavans porridge. Sometimes the cornflakes hot but none of them with sugar.

cant abide anything chocolatey and for the rest of the day I’d be a fiend for chocolate.

I know I will come across as a ranting spoilsport here, but almost all the posts so far are naming cereals that are loaded with refined sugar. Those cereals are unhealthy low nutrition products which I never touch. I eat porridge with fruit ( raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, chopped apple) every morning which means I am getting nutritious food and I am not hungry an hour later as what I eat releases natural sugar slowly into my system.

I know it's everyone to their taste and choice, but all those cereals are bad for a healthy lifestyle.

You’re absolutely right you do.

Are Sugar Puffs gone??

Best for me are Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

Worst is Special K.

But what I actually eat is Weetabix or Porridge with fruit.

All cereals are shite, and convincing people that they were healthy was a giant con. That Kellogg's fella also convinced American parents to cut their sons' foreskins off because he didn't want them ****.

Weetabix and Oatibix together with cold milk no sugar. I'd have it day or night.

Actually, he made Special K out of them.

Flahavans Organic Oats with a fist of seasonal fruit or sultanas in winter.

Apart from porridge the rest have no food value.

It’s either porridge for me or two soft boiled eggs and wheaten bread with a mug of hot tea. It sustains you until lunch or even later no bother.

Top porridge with honey

Most frequent weetabix but now prefer super valu one to original.

Really like Crunchy nuts & cornflakes.

Least fav Bran Flakes but my children like them !

Would try start again if I see them

Yes, Start was a great one.

Most of the cereals are crazy high in sugar, like 20-30% by weight. Partial to them all really, currently tend to munch on cheerios, cornflakes, weetabix, ready brek - will have them all in the morning and often in the evening too before bed. Don't really go for the chocolate flavour ones anymore.

When it comes to bad ones, my mother used to get special k, and I liked special k with a bit of sugar, no problems. I was at home recently and she had one with dried bits of what it said were strawberries, my god it was vile, like soggy sour bits of snot in your mouth.

We have been tightening the budget lately and have been getting tesco range of cornflakes, weetabix etc. I have to say I think they're grand, no problem. We got the Lidl version of cheerios recently though to try as the name brand are stupid expensive and the kids mill through a box in no time, and oh my god no they were atrocious, at 20 odd percent sugar the kids wouldn't even eat them, I tried to finish the box so they wouldn't go to waste and I just couldn't do it, absolutely horrendous.

Sorry to hear that sugar puffs are gone, they were an old favourite, RIP to the honey monster.

Loved microwaveable Flahavans Quick oats. Also a big fan of Weetabix.

Worst are those of the Lucky Charms/Fruit Loops variety (which don't really exist in Ireland iirc, maybe you could get them in some places). Some of them have over 40% sugar by volume.

Less sugar ? That’s not hard seeing as my memory of sugar puffs is they were laced with sugar and whatever else.

Anyone remember Bran Buds? I used to love them - they had a great crunch to them that soggy All Bran just doesn't have (and probably 10x the sugar content, which would account for the tastiness! )

bran buds ? Name doesn’t ring a bell @HeidiHeidi. I remember many cereals with bran in the name but not buds.

Oh that was gorgeous stuff, little hard nuggets - a bit like dry cat food, now I think of it, but sooooo tasty 🤣
