My roommate and I do a lot together: we watch TV shows (last semester it was Breaking Bad and this semester it\u2019s Better Call Saul), we practice together on the track team and spend most of our time playing Pok\u00e9mon Go. A long-standing tradition in 215 is to buy insane cereals. Anything is game, from combinations like Frosted Flakes and Lucky Charms to Minecraft-themed cereal (Creeper Crunch).<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a lot of trial and error. The Minecraft cereal was a letdown – it\u2019s just bland cinnamon-flavored toasted oats and baby marshmallows. The Pok\u00e9mon cereal was a little better, but the berry puffs with marshmallows are too sweet to have more than three bites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidently, I have staunch opinions and a healthy commitment towards cereal. I do consider myself an amateur connoisseur of breakfast foods. Here is what\u2019s good and what\u2019s bleh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cinnamon Bun Frosted Mini-Wheats: underwhelming- a missed opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sour Patch Kid\u2019s Cereal: the worst one we\u2019ve tried by far. I don\u2019t know why we bought those.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Yachty\u2019s Reese\u2019s Puffs: the same as regular Reese\u2019s Puffs, but the box is cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pop-Tart cereal is also not as amazing as you\u2019d think it\u2019d be. It\u2019s not all bad though. Oreo O\u2019s are one of the best cereals I\u2019ve ever tasted. Period. Fruity Lucky Charms are also really good. They\u2019re almost too sweet for their own good, but the pink runes look like food art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our endeavors in cereal exploration are far from over. There are so many more wacky cereals that I\u2019d never even think of. The bucket list includes Drumstick, Nutter Butter and Jolly Rancher-themed cereal. Cinnamon Toast Crunch has churros cereal, but I think that\u2019s a little too daunting for my palate.<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be awesome if Commons had Eggo cereal. Really, I\u2019m just hoping they bring back the Cap\u2019n Crunch and Special K. Also, if Commons had Rice Krispies, I\u2019d probably eat five pounds every week.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was younger none of these new cereals existed, and I feel like I missed out. It would have blown my mind to see Frosted Flakes with Lucky Charm marshmallows when I was 10. After all these years I still love cereal with all my heart and there is no better time than the present to live out my childhood dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
