6. I had no idea
there was ever a Ninja Turtles cereal. (though, remembering the marketing craze, I'm not surprised. I got my nephew a Ninja Turtles ice cream cake one year)

What flavour was it?

4. Cheerios
Later, I switched to Cap'n Crunch. But after several surgeries to repair the roof of my mouth, I switched back.

8. A friend's daughter
had to have that surgery, though she was very young; way too young to be eating cereal.

I used to love Captain Crunch, too...especially the peanut butter one. :bounce:

10. I used to spell a word
then put it in the milk and eat it up.

It took me a long time to eat breakfast when that was on the menu...:rofl:

14. You made me think of the Family Guy eating cereal,
saying, "There's a message in my Alpha-bits. It says ooooooooo!" Then the dog says, "Those are Cheerios.

35. I liked Frosted Flakes
I was not amused when my step mother bought the generic version though, which not nearly as good. She even tried to trick me by pouring the generic cereal into the Kellog's box, but I always could tell whether it was "real" or not. That always suprised her. She called me a food snob.

17. Cap'n Crunch
followed closely by Fruit Loops and Sugar Smacks.

For "healthy" cereals, I like Raisin Bran a lot.

Note: I was a bit of a freak about it all, though. While I would have a LARGE glass of milk with my bowl of cereal, the cereal was always dry.

20. Cap'n Crunch
I only got to eat it when I spent the night with friends. We never had cereal in my house. I was so deprived.

21. OMG, lol
I immediately thought, "Boo Berry!" before I clicked on the thread...and there they were. :D

I loves me some Boo Berry.

Once, after ingesting a certain magic mushroom, my friend and I discovered a box of Boo Berry in the kitchen and we ate every last marshmallow, marvelling that we suddenly understood what the color blue tasted like. :7

24. Quisp's rugged alter ego cereal...
Quake.
For a bunch of box tops and a few bucks, I got the yellow plastic hard hat with a flashlight built in the front. It was quite the fashion statement with my little sundresses and metal roller skates.

36. If we went to the same elementary school,
you may be my long-lost best friend, Molly! We were quite a pair.

I got my niece a toy tool-belt a few Christmases ago.
