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.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Just Dropped Bacon-Flavored Cereal

If your breakfast routine feels a little too normal lately, this should weird things up. General Mills and Hormel have joined forces to throw a sizzling curveball our way.

Bacon-flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch is now officially a thing. You can grab a bag at Walmart for a limited time. (I know… it’s tragic this can’t be a permanent fixture in your breakfast rotation.)

Cinnamon + sugar + bacon?

The sweet-and-savory mashup is the latest experiment in cereal innovation that’s raising some eyebrows (and a few stomachs). It still has that classic cinnamon sugar crunch fans know and love, but now with a layer of bacon flavoring added to the mix. Before you get too excited (or horrified), there’s no real bacon in there. Just “artificial bacon flavor,” whatever that is.

Not their first rodeo.

Why thrust pork cereal upon the American public? Because we want it! General Mills claims fans were into last year’s cinnamon-flavored bacon collab between the two brands, and this was the logical next step.

Pizza-flavored cereal too?

The new hog-infused Cinnamon Toast Crunch comes on the heels of an arguably even bolder concoction from earlier in the year. In January, the brand teamed up with Totino’s for a pizza-flavored cereal giveaway. Their excuse that time was the Super Bowl. Their excuse (or potential apology) for pork-flavored cereal is still pending.

So, how’s it taste?

Snackolator got early access and called the taste “not terrible.” So… high praise. But hey, not everyone’s taste buds are ready for porky-sweet cereal fusion at 7 a.m. (I bet the leftover milk at the bottom of your bowl tastes interesting.)

Would you try bacon flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch? This one is wild but it’s fun… definitely worth a try. Huge thanks to @CinnamonToastCrunch for the early taste! #cereal #cinnamontoastcrunch #foodreview #snackreview

You actually want to try this?

If so, get your butt to Sam Walton’s cute lil’ mom-and-pop store down the street. They’re only selling it at Walmart, where six-ounce bags run you $5.84 a pop. That’s a hefty price for something you may only eat on a dare, or serve to guests as a prank.

So, is bacon-flavored cereal a bold new frontier in breakfast? Or just a weird flex we didn’t ask for? Only your spoon can decide. But one thing’s for sure. If you’ve ever wished your cereal tasted more like brunch at a state fair, your moment has arrived.
