The Cereal Combo: Creating The Perfect Mix

Cereal has been around since the dawn of man. Well probably. I’m sure cavemen and cavewomen were doing something for breakfast back then. And since then, we have all enjoyed our breakfast. None more than the classic cereal. Back when I was a young lad in the 80’s, cereal was king. It was full of tasty sugar and always good. From Mr. T cereal to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal, I ate it all. I loved my cereal.

But as I got older, times changed, and they changed for the worst. Health nuts took over the world. Parents screamed about their kids getting too fat, and cereal companies sadly had to change their ingredients to please the masses of health nuts. But what about me? What about the people like me? The people that love their sugary tasty cereal? It was time to get creative.

It’s interesting to note that a majority of cereal makers out there changed their ingredients to make cereal more healthy for kids, all but one. Cap’n Crunch. The good ol Cap. Which is why you never see any commercials or promotion for Cap’n Crunch. Seriously, try to remember the last commercial you saw for Oops All Berries! But what about the other cereals? Well I had an idea…

It isn’t my own idea, I see others do this. I actually decided to give this a try after seeing how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson treats his cheat days. This is almost like a secret menu of cereal. People do it, but it’s not out to the world, and it’s unspoken. Mixing cereal with other cereal. It’s brilliant, and it works. And it somewhat brings back those childhood memories of Saturday mornings.

So what makes the perfect cereal combo? That is really up to you and your taste buds. But I can recommend a few concoctions of my own that came out pretty great, including my favorite. So take a look, mix it up, try it out, and share with us what combo worked for you!
