Today is National Cereal Day

What's your favorite?

America's Favorite Breakfast Cereal Is:

10. Raisin Bran
9. Frosted Mini Wheats
8. Lucky Charms
7. Fruit Loops
6. Cheerios
5. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
4. Honey Bunches of Oats
3. Frosted Flakes
2. Honey Nut Cheerios

1. Private label or store brands
The best-selling cereals are actually private label or store brands. Yup, once again Americans choose generic options over name-brand products for both price and taste.

In some locations, private label cereal can be more than a dollar cheaper than name-brand options. The nation’s love affair with store-brand labels at Costco, Aldi, or Walmart outshines time-tested and iconic cereal brands to the tune of $6.46 million in annual sales.

Personally, I’m a hot cereal kind of guy, favoring oatmeal or grits.

Frosted or not, mini or maxi, I just love that toasted wheat flavor. My brother used to make fun of me, saying eating shredded wheat was like chewing on an old broom.
