As an adult, do you still eat kids cereal for breakfast?

I love Capt Crunch, but I know it's not that good for you!

Yes. Cereal is the bomb. Good anytime. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack.
I prefer Frosted Mini Wheats myself. Not a "kid" cereal, but kids will eat it.

I had to do a double take when I was reading the question.

I steal my kid's cereal all the time.

I can eat half a box of Lucky Charms any day of the week. It's the half that's made up of the marshmallows. Then I put it back in the pantry for someone else to eat the other half.

Cinnamon. Toast. Crunch.

@capitalggeek: That's awesome. The only problem is that you can justify buying Lucky Charms because half of it is "healthy." I'm not sure I can justify this (especially to my wife).

Lucky Charms, sometimes I'll hide them till my kids go to school and munch down!

Booberry and Frankenberry. Every Halloween I have to stock up for the lean months.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the God of breakfast items.

Peanut Butter Captain Crunch! I eat "grown-up" cereal for breakfast but sugary cereals are great for the late night munchies.

Not really, no. "kids cereals" tend to be on the sweeter side of the spectrum and although I love my sugar, not so much in my cereal for some reason.

Usually only after dinner, not for breakfast. Frosted Flakes makes a great dessert.

Sure, always start my day with honeycomb. It simply makes my day!

As a kid, I ate adult cereal. Doused in table sugar, but I preferred Cheerios, Raisin Bran, Shredded Wheat, and Puffed Rice to kid's cereals. I've never been a big fan of corn syrup. As an adult I barely ever eat cereal as I am lactose intolerant so I could only eat cereal at home (as restaurants don't offer lactose free milk) and I am trying to avoid carbs anyway. When I do eat cereal it is Special K or multigrain Cheerios with stevia and lactose free skim milk. Beh.

We were a cereal family growing up. We had elaborate cereal rules hat dictated how and what you could eat.

For example:
2 non sugary cereal bowl for 1 sugary cereal bowl

You must empty the entire box but if you do you get to choose its replacement

Never more that 4 open at once

etc... There were serious penalties up to and including grounding for breaking these rules.

Needless to say as an adult as as the dad I eat it with reckless abandon and follow no rules :-) The same way my dad always messed up the system with the IM the DAD rule

I enjoy an occasional bowl of fruity pebbles but prefer Frosted Mini wheats for a cold breakfast.

I would, but my wife doesn't let me buy sugar cereal. She wasn't allowed to growing up, so, now she doesn't allow me when I'm grown up :(

lactose-free milk, baby!

Yes, but not for breakfast. Peanut Butter Crunch in the evening is a great treat. I'll eat a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats warmed in the microwave for lunch.

If you are an adult and are not indulging every once in a while on kids cereals you are missing out. Best part of being an adult is you can eat a whole box of Lucky Charms or Cocoa Pebbles and no one can say nothin about it. GOT THAT MOM!!!

Fruit Loops for dessert.

I do like munching on Apple Jacks as a dry snack.

As an adult I can now eat all the cereals that my mother wouldn't buy because they had too much sugar.

I do still eat cereal occasionally. Never for breakfast though. I love fruit loops, fruity pebbles, and cinnamon toast crunch :)

@bogie21: Boo your wife. Sorry, that's dumb. Your a grown ass man, buy the cereal you want.

@djbowman: Are you old enough to remember the little nothings in the box as a "gift" that pursuaded you to beg for your parents to buy the particular item? Same goes for saving boxtops - I had a bag of those treasures for a long time.

Captain Crunch w/ Crunch Berries and Lucky Charms. (And I save the marshmallows till last too.)

I must admit that my favorite morning cereal right now is frosted mini-wheats... I am a grad student and cannot afford the brand name, so I have to go with the generic Safeway brand :) Still is amazing though, sometimes it makes my day.

I'll eat just about any cereal but I do have my favorites, We stock up on FrankenBerry every Halloween when its available.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
