Cereals

Im going back in time on this one. The following may not be what I'll currently yearn for, but they're what I would bring to my deserted island.

5. Cap'n Crunch - Good ol' cappy. There's a certain scientifically proven moment when the individual crunch bits stop mutilating the top of one's mouth and reaches it's zenith. The perfect texture when enough milk has been saturated, but still retains just a bit o crunch. But sadly, that apex is just a few mili-seconds long and all your left with is really sweet gruel.

4. Honey Nut Cheerios - This was actually a recent re-discovery of sorts. Perfectly sweetened, great crunch throughout the cereal eating experience. It's simple texture is refreshing.

3. Frosted Mini Wheats - I didn't think I'd like this one, probably because I tried the non-frosted version when I was a child. But it's really good. It's all about the frosting on this one. This one has a rather pleasurable zenith as well, the frosting stays crisp longer than the wheat and it's rather great. But, like Cap'n Crunch, the moment doesn't last, and it turns soggy. Still a current favorite however.

2. Fruity Pebbles - Ahh, such good memories. One of few cereals that I enjoy eating quickly, no waiting for the legendary zenith. Soft enough to not leave scars in mouth, yet delightfully light and crunchy. Artificial sweetness at it's best.

1. Honey Bunches of Oats - This is the current reigning champ. Many many trials and studies have been conducted. So far, this is the perfect cereal. Diverse enough in texture and taste to keep anyone coming back for more. Never too sweet, never too boring.

Honorable mention - Grape nuts. With a spoonful of sugar, this is surprisingly wonderful treat. Ultra crunchy to start with, which is refreshing compared to everything else on the market.
