Superstition ain't the way...

So I've taken a brief hiatus from my cereal series, which is unfortunate. First, I would like to comment as to several comments made on my livejournal regarding the cereal known as mini-wheats. Specifically that of the mini and frosted variety. Whether or not they are frosted or mini, makes no difference to me. If you eat them in the traditional manner in a bowl with a spoon and milk, they inevitably suck. The frosting runs into the milk and they become soggy very quickly. While eating them as a snack with a glass of milk may seem interesting, it is not a traditional breakfast method and therefore inadmissable on this journal. Moving on:

Cheerios: This cereal could possibly sweep all the others with the sheer variety it has to offer. There is the traditional, plain yet classic cheerio. There is also the sweet yet subtle Honey Nut cheerio. Additionally, you have the delicously fruit Apple Cinnamon cheerio. To please those with a sweet tooth, we have Frosted cheerios. And to counter Wheatie's market on athletic breakfasts we have Team cheerios. All of these, with the exception of frosted cheerios, stand in my mind as examples of breakfasting at its finest. Foremost, the simple yet genius texture of the cheerio is both pleasing and entertaining. Some mornings I find myself lost attempting to stick my tongue through that tiny hole. The crunch of the cheerio is rarely lost with the advent of milk. Just the plain cheerio itself would be a contender. While lacking in taste, it offers so much more in shape, texture, and crunch. Yet, these General Mills geniuses were not content with brilliance. They went even further. They added a subtle yet amazing taste to their cheerios with Honey Nut. The taste isn't overpowering or sickly sweet like many cereals. Far from it, it takes a true epicure to actually appreciate the sublte sweet nutty blend. Apple Cinnamon isn't as subtle in its taste, but the sheer flavor is simply stunning. Apples and cinnamon collide, complemented by tiny little flavor crumbs scattered through the tiny Os, both pleasing with taste and texture. Team cheerios, while mostly a marketing ploy, remains a true classic. Blending the plain cheerio, with a healthful whole grain cheerio, and of course the unfortunate forsted cheerio. Such a barrage of variety and flavor seems hardly possible in one box. Yet those brilliant men and women at General Mills did it. Overall, cheerios stand next to digital watches as some of the greatest inventions of mankind.
