Is Cookie Crisp the most underwhelming cereal in the market?

On a whim I picked up a box today, hadn't had that stuff since the late 80's or early 90's.

It's pretty terrible and it's premium priced. They lure you in with the images of chocolate chip cookies and milk. Who doesn't love that?

The taste is bland, they float and don't absorb much milk, the little chocolate chips could just as easy be mouse turds, and unlike chocolate pebbles you don't even get the bonus chocolate milk left in the bowl.

Just a whole lot of promises that they can't hope to live up to. It'll probably be another 25 years before I buy another box.

Any other cereals hit a flat note for you?

I'm not sure if Honey Smacks are still around, but I didn't know so much disappointment could be packaged into a cereal box.

After one bowl, I thought I was going to have to use a power washer on my mouth. In fact, that might have been more enjoyable than eating another bowl of Honey Smacks.

Honey Smacks. Although I like them, you have to finish off a box to feel full.

Fruity Pebbles. That shite they call cereal is incredibly overrated.

Now Coco Pebbles on the other hand, awesome.

Is Oh's the most underrated cereal? I say yes.

Son, this shite is maybe the best cereal on the market today. You get cookies, dunked in milk, in mini form.

My other favorites are cocoa pebbles and Frankenberry. If I need to get "regular" I go with Frosted Mini Wheats

I find the three monster cereals underwhelming... Boo-Berry, Frankenberry and Count Chocula. Fruity Pebbles are the worst as they get too soggy too fast.

And I loved all of them as a kid. Times were tight back then though. It's Cinnamon Toast Crunch FTW now.

Think I had them once as a kid and wasn't impressed. Just give me some peanut butter captn crunch or some apple jacks and I'm good.

Cap'n Crunch

Only because you'll need stitches after from what it'll do to the roof of your mouth

Why are you still eating sugary cereals as an adult?

Go buy some Almond Honey Bunches of Oats and be a man.
