The Most Unhealthfully Delicious Cereals!

I stopped eating cereal a while ago and just recently had a craving for it. I scanned the boxes in that gluttonous aisle for the perfect thing. Luckily, I was having an ‘I want to be healthy!’ day and I bought one of Kashi’s many delightful cereals- — which has treated my taste buds wonderfully. But my purchase has not stopped me from day dreaming about the sugary goodness I used to ingest daily as a kid.

You have to admit, it’s a lot easier to get out of bed every day when you know a bowl of marshmallows and milk awaits you. Of course kids and adults alike are hooked on this crap — it’s got freakin’ crack in it. And I don’t care that everyone and their mother is outlawing it and forcing kids to be healthier…there is STILL something to be said for eating a bucket of sugar for breakfast, so here’s my shout out to the top 5 most unhealthfully delicious cereals:

LUCKY CHARMS

They’re magically…charming. They say their serving size is 3/4 a cup..and yet most people, myself included, eat at least twice that amount. So…24 grams of sugar in one sitting? Ah. Who cares. They’ve got rainbows and marshmallows and sugar dripping from the cardboard box.

FRUITY PEBBLES

They’ve got fruit in them…right? Right? Okay. Maybe they don’t. But they’re still awesome. PLUS, they’re accompanied by awesome front-of-box graphics.

COUNT CHOCULA

Why is having dessert for breakfast such a sin? It’s probably the general assumption that sugar is not something you want swimming in your system so early on in the day. BUT, Count Chocula just can’t be denied (Mouth watering at this very moment). Remember this cereal? Pretty much any kid who got to actually eat it in the morning was admired by all — and probably wearing a mouth full of fillings today.

RICE KRISPIE TREATS

So you like rice krispie treats? Well, heck! Why not crumble ‘em up and throw ‘em in some milk and call it cereal? Sounds good to me…and millions of other kids out there, too. This cereal makes the list for its sheer audacity alone. These guys didn’t even TRY to make cereal with this one…they really just threw a dessert in some milk.

FROSTED MINI-WHEATS

These make my list because, to many, they give the ILLUSION of being a healthy cereal. I mean, c’mon, ‘wheat’ is in the title. What they should really call them is : ICING CAKED WHEAT THINGS. I think that would get the point across a little better. But hey, what do I know?

I am a firm believer in health. After all, I did get the Kashi cereal. BUT, let me ask you this…would it be easier for you to wake up in the morning if you knew you were waking up to these kinds of treats? Think about this one, folks.
