The Best Cereals of All Time

I estimate that I’ve eaten no less than 973,000 bowls of cereal in my lifetime. Something that delicious, that can be made that fast . . . It’s hard to believe I ever moved on to other foods.

Name a better way to give yourself mouth love in under a minute. Actually, never mind. Don’t do that. 

There are two types of cereal fanatics in the world. One who grew up with cool parents who gave them access to “sugared cereals” at a young age. And that love of cereal and milk has only grown throughout their life.

The other type had parents who forbade all sugared cereals, and AT BEST they could maybe get some Kix or Raisin Bran if they were lucky. 

Before we go any further, I want to make this point perfectly clear.  Kix sucks.

But after having stale Kix for most of your formative years, the burning desire inside you to explore other cereal options has only fermented. 

If you hadn’t noticed, the two groups of people (ones who were allowed sugared cereal, and ones who were not) encompasses everyone on earth… because everyone loves cereal! And if you’re the rare person who doesn’t, it’s because milk gives you the poops.  

And that’s okay! But I bet you spent a lot of time trying oat milk, or goat milk, or lactose free milk in the hopes that you and the Trix Rabbit could have a love affair once more.

So, without further ado, here are the TOP TEN cereals of ALL TIME:

  1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (NOT the bacon version, sorry.)
  2. Cocoa Krispies
  3. Fruity Pebbles
  4. Cinnamon Life
  5. Honeycomb
  6. Cap’n Crunch with Crunch Berries
  7. Wheaties (The best healthy one by a landslide)
  8. Lucky Charms
  9. Froot Loops
  10. Frosted Flakes

Who wants to fight about it?

Other fantastic cereals that just missed the cut are: Golden Grahams, Cocoa Puffs, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Total. Also shoutout to Crispix, who would have been in the top 10, but only if you dump a couple spoonfuls of sugar on top.

The Best State in America Is… Utah?

If you’ve ever been to Utah and thought, “Wow, these folks really have their act together,” turns out you were right—again. For the third straight year, U.S. News & World Report says Utah is the “best” state in America. They rank all 50 states using categories like education, healthcare, economy, and infrastructure.

Utah didn’t just squeak by—they crushed it.

The state landed in the Top 10 in five out of eight categories. That includes:

  • #1 in fiscal stability (translation: Utah’s budget is adulting better than most adults)
  • #3 in economy
  • #3 in infrastructure
  • #4 in education
  • #7 in crime

Basically, the people of Utah are great at earning, building, teaching, and not robbing each other.

The only thing dragging them down? Nature.

Utah ranked 48th for “natural environment,” which includes stuff like air and water quality. So, stunning national parks? Yes. But maybe don’t take a deep breath in Salt Lake City.

Here’s how the full list shapes up:

  1. Utah
  2. New Hampshire
  3. Idaho
  4. Minnesota
  5. Nebraska
  6. Florida
  7. Vermont
  8. South Dakota
  9. Massachusetts
  10. Washington
  11. Colorado
  12. North Dakota
  13. North Carolina
  14. Iowa
  15. Connecticut
  16. Virginia
  17. Wisconsin
  18. Delaware
  19. New Jersey
  20. Maryland
  21. Georgia
  22. New York
  23. Wyoming
  24. Rhode Island
  25. Kansas
  26. Montana
  27. Maine
  28. Hawaii
  29. Texas
  30. Arizona
  31. Missouri
  32. Tennessee
  33. Indiana
  34. Nevada
  35. Oregon
  36. Illinois
  37. California
  38. Ohio
  39. Kentucky
  40. South Carolina
  41. Pennsylvania
  42. Oklahoma
  43. Michigan
  44. Arkansas
  45. Alabama
  46. West Virginia
  47. New Mexico
  48. Mississippi
  49. Alaska
  50. Louisiana

Sorry, Louisiana—you’re last place again. But look, someone has to be. The rankings factor in everything from health outcomes to infrastructure to how well a state balances its budget, and some of these states just have a tougher time across the board.

So, congrats, Utah!

No one gets your obsession with fry sauce… or why you call yourselves “Utahns” without an ‘a’… or why your state bird is somehow the California gull. But Utah, U rock!
