Cereal

So recently I've been getting Kashi cereal but by golly is there a decent amount of sugar and sodium in there (which I'm trying to limit/avoid) and while Kashi is pretty good in the flavor department it also isn't the best. Any alternatives/healthier options out there that have less sugar, less sodium but still tastes good? Thanks!

Maryland: Special K

• Anyone that enjoys torturing themselves on a regular basis is a fan of Special K. No flavor, goes limp basically the second you pour milk over it, and most importantly, no happiness. People that choose Special K might be doing it for the “health benefits” but there’s no benefit in eating this junk. There’s nowhere near enough vitamins or fiber to want to shovel down this tasteless nonsense. People try and up the quality by adding fruits, i do this with other cereals, but trying to make Special K taste good with other ingredients is like trying to make Maryland relevant. A fruitless endeavor.

Illinois: Frosted Flakes

• When I think of Frosted Flakes I think of Tony the Tiger and their blue/orange packaging, and to tell you the truth that’s the only reason why I chose this for Illinois. Overall just okay cereal but nobodies first choice.

Indiana: Fruity Pebbles

• Fruity Pebbles are good for what they are but they have a couple bad flaws. For one, there’s just

You’ll want to eat the box

Why is it so good? Especially Cornflakes and the sugary ones.😔

Edit. You guys are the best! Thank you so much

Edit 2. Getting soppy over here but this is such a rad community and you’ve all made my day so much easier!

:()

I smoked some keef in the morning and got pretty fucked up but needed some breakfast... I’ve broken my morale cereal code, what have I become

EDIT: I just wanted to thank everyone for their overwhelming support!! I didn't realise I was reaching this many people. You don't know how much you have just made my day!

About 6 weeks ago, I hit a personal low.

I hated my body. I hated myself. I just didn't care anymore. Whilst sitting in the depths of my own despair, I devoured 3 large bowls of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

I'm not kidding on the large, it was about half a box of cereal.

I finished eating them and I burst into tears. My weight was the highest it had ever been. And I was just adding to it, feeding that physiological, mental monster within.

I had two choices.

1 - Give up. I was a mess, failing uni, failing my job. Failing myself.

2 - Ask for help.

Now I don't know about you guys, but asking for help is something I really do not like to do.

But I knew I couldn't get out of the hole I had buried myself in alone. I needed someone to tell me what to do. Tell me how to get out of it.

I came here. With my tail

Froggers Frogchamp!!!

i had no milk or cereal left over. the perfect ratio.

im very proud of myself.

Its just the right thing to do

Milk

So, my siblings are freakishly lazy (I’m relatively lazy too, just not as much). They always ask me to do stuff for them, and don’t even give a goddam thank you, but when I ask them for anything, it’s a no. Even just using the dustpan when sweeping. So, I don’t like them, but I try to be semi-nice to them in order to gain trust and be able to join any side of an argument (they fight constantly) and be the all-around favorite sibling in order to one day exact my revenge (I never do, I’m a wuss). So one Tuesday (the day of writing this), (lets call her RS, for rude sister) asks me (for the umpteenth time), to make her some cereal (not my brother cuz he was supposed to be cleaning his room). So I say no cuz I have to do it for her all the time, and she looks at me like the surprised pikachu meme and says “I said please.” (Like that legally obligated me to make her cereal), so I did, cuz I don’t wanna deal with her bs that moment cuz it’s 9:45 and I’m still tired, and I was thinking *yo

I’ll pick my favorite one, and try to make it funny since it is a factor in me choosing you!

An example of this:

“Cannibalism”

(This refers to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, since in their commercials they eat each other. I’m hilarious aren’t I?)

I’ll be choosing in probably 2 hours. Good luck!

Edit:Also don’t use one of their slogans, like “They’re Gr-r-reat!” From Frosted Flakes

Edit 2:Congrats u/TheRealMushroomBoii! I’ll be sure to make some more challenges in the future(;

Cereal wants us to post shizz , so we should not post anything to annoy cereal .

The way I always explain this to people is that the milk is a byproduct of your cereal. When you make pasta, you don't drain the pasta water into a water bottle for later; you throw it out. I feel the same way about cereal milk.

EDITS to answer some popular comments:

1. "That's so wasteful." No it's not. I pour no more milk than I need for my cereal. There is barely any left once I am done. If I've poured too much milk, I'll add more cereal.

2. "OP obviously hasn't tried XXXX cereal milk." Yes I have. I don't like it.

3. "That's not a perfect analogy." Very true. It's more of a framework with which to see my perspective.

4. "You use pasta water for things." That's a new fact I'm glad I learned. But you still separate the two. And you're not drinking pasta water plain.

5. "A more appropriate analogy is pasta/soup/broth/stew/XXXX." That probably is more appropriate. It also shouldn't surprise you to know I wouldn't drink the extras of those from a bowl either. Not because I'm

Plopped it down and let it balance hands free while I reached for the tv remote. Worst decision of my life. Baby kicked, bowl tipped, covered in milk and crunchy nut cornflakes lol.

Has this ever happened to you?

I documented this entire process here.

I previously brewed a citra pale ale from Clawhammer supply's website. With the leftover yeast, I decided it would be a great time to try out a kinky brewing idea ;) That's when the sweet potatoes came in. I had previously tried a sweet potato porter from New Republic brewing, and thought it would be groovy to mimic that, but without any kilned grains. The final idea was a "beer" brewed with sweet potatoes as the "base malt" and kiddy cereal as the "specialty malts". The fermentables for this 2 gallon (7.6 L) batch:

I'd read that sweet potatoes had (and currently have) beta-amylase in them, and

And now I have to hike 40 minutes to the sorting office, as I don't have a car.

I always wonder why, to posties, it's less effort to write out a card and pop it through the door rather than just knock and deliver the parcel??
