I can still remember the EXACT taste of these even though I haven't eaten them in over 15 years. I honestly believe this comparable to how a nicotine addict can remember the taste of a cigarette even after years of nonsmoking.

But really it means most prohibited drug in existence. Like cocaine is a schedule 1 drug, percocet is 2, and some sleeping medications fall under level 3, then some other stuff at 4, and finally 5 still has some medical concerns. Level 6 is anything else, like your Tylenol, aspirin, etc.

The first death of Oreo O's was when they changed the flavor of the O's and added marshmallows. It was originally just the O's and they tasted fucking amazing, like seriously twice as good as the marshmallow version. But even the marshmallow version was better than most cereals.

This is true. The marshmallows just took up precious space in the box that could've been used for more Oreo O's.
I just ate some oreos today and was like "hmm, i mustve bought some stale ones". Girlfriend said the same thing. Youre my hero. I never would have found out otherwise.

Let's not involve ourselves in the affairs of other countries. Let's definitely employ their slave labor, though. This is a fully sustainable future.
Not all plants are in Mexico. There is an Oreo producing plant in Portland, OR. It also produces Premiums (Saltines), Ritz, and Chicken N' Biscuit. The biggest plant is outside Monterrey Mexico, though.
That was not wise. I lived in Korea for a while, and was super excited when I saw those there. I of course bought a box, and was extremely underwhelmed. They are not nearly sweet or "chocolaty" enough. Korea shit is weird, because a lot of things don't have enough sugar (for someone used to American crap) and then other things have an insane amount, like Gatorade which I couldn't stand there.

Oreo O production in Korea was shut down for a while because the company making them intentionally mixed e coli contaminated cereal with uncontaminated cereal. I'd say it's not a completely unfounded worry.
You do also realize that food production for the most part is self-regulated in the U.S.?
The FDA is tiny, and the budget only allows for so much testing, personnel, etc. We've had plenty of food issues. Not saying we're a mess or anything but it's far from perfect.
It's also the same country that put bread above vegetables in nutrition recommendations... so there's that.
TL;DR: Type in ยฏ\\\_(ใ)_/ยฏ for proper formatting
Actual reply:
For the
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
like you were trying for you need three backslashes, so it should look like this when you type it out
ยฏ\\\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
which will turn out like this
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
The reason for this is that the underscore character (this one _ ) is used to italicize words just like an asterisk does (this guy * ). Since the "face" of the emoticon has an underscore on each side it naturally wants to italicize the "face" (this guy (ใ) ). The backslash is reddit's escape character (basically a character used to say that you don't want to use a special character in order to format, but rather you just want it to display). So your first "\_" is just saying "hey, I don't want to italicize (ใ)" so it keeps the underscore but gets rid of the backslash since it's just an escape character. After this you still want the arm, so you have to add two more backslashes (two, not one, since backslash is an escape character, so you need an escape character for your escape character to display--confusing, I know). Anyways, I guess that's my lesson for the day on reddit formatting lol
CAUTION: Probably very boring edit as to why you don't need to escape the second underscore, read only if you're super bored or need to fall asleep.
Edit: The reason you only need an escape character for the first underscore and not the second is because the second underscore (which doesn't have an escape character) doesn't have another underscore with which to italicize. Reddit's formatting works in that you need a special character to indicate how you want to format text, then you put the text you want to format, then you put the character again. For example, you would type _italicize_ or *italicize* in order to get italicize. Since we put an escape character we have \_italicize_ and don't need to escape the second underscore since there's not another non-escaped underscore with which to italicize something in between them. So technically you could have written ยฏ\\\_(ใ)\_/ยฏ but you don't need to since there's not a second non-escaped underscore. You would need to escape the second underscore if you planned on using another underscore in the same line (but not if you used a line break, aka pressed enter twice). If you used an asterisk later though on the same line it would not work with the non-escaped underscore to italicize. To show you this, you can type _italicize* and it should not be italicized.

Rice Krispies Treats Cereal
You can order it on Amazon Prime. I just got like 8 boxes of it. Tastes the same as ever, the only problem is that there aren't really clumps like there used to be. It's just like really, really sugary Rice Krispies. Dunno if the Walmart boxes are the same.
I came to post this! Oh my God it's the best cereal ever! I used to eat it before my soccer games when I was 5-7 years old and it'd give me such a sugar rush that I'd be the fastest kid on the field.
I found this cereal at Target I think, like 3-5 years ago, just randomly there in a purple box. I should have stocked up because that's the last time I saw it.
Hands down no cereal comes close to how magnificent this cereal tastes and I'm still quite the cereal comnosiour lol

The managing editor ended up sending me a care package of cereal and magazines a few weeks later!
It's still around. I bought some a few years ago to see if it was as magical as I remember. I can't believe I used to eat it! I guess I lost my sweet tooth sometime in the last 20 years. I couldn't make it through one bowl.

They still make this, my friend in texas found some in her local winco. She mailed me 3 boxes. It arrived the same day I found out I have celiac disease and can no longer eat gluten :( My kids liked it though.

Thank you! Someone else remembers! I thought they were doing so well but they only have the stupid Great Grains and Cranberry Almond. The banana walnut was great too, but Blueberry Morning forever. I now work in a private brand processing plant but we only "emulate" the current market and our R&D is devoted to that and my pleads for carving out a new market share instead of undercutting other's market share falls upon deaf earns no matter how pretty my PowerPoint presentations are. Fuck you, General Mills, goddamn right I turned down your shitty offer for your competition. SUCK IT.
Yeah, I'm in KY, I think they must've stopped distributing it in my region. I've bought a box of Banana Nut Crunch recently, so maybe Blueberry Morning is on its way back up here.
Meanwhile all his concentration is fixed on the interior of his mouth, which naturally he cannot see, but which he can imagine in three dimensions as if zooming through it in a virtual reality display. Here is where a novice would lose his cool and simply chomp down. A few of the nuggets would explode between his molars, but then his jaw would snap shut and drive all of the unshattered nuggets straight up into his palate where their armor of razor-sharp dextrose crystals would inflict massive collateral damage, turning the rest of the meal into a sort of pain-hazed death march and rendering him Novocain mute for three days. But Randy has, over time, worked out a really fiendish Capโn Crunch eating strategy that revolves around playing the nuggetsโ most deadly features against each other. The nuggets themselves are pillow-shaped and vaguely striated to echo piratical treasure chests. Now, with a flake-type of cereal, Randyโs strategy would never work. But then, Capโn Crunch in a flake form would be suicidal madness; it would last about as long, when immersed in milk, as snowflakes sifting down into a deep fryer. No, the cereal engineers at General Mills had to find a shape that would minimize surface area, and, as some sort of compromise between the sphere that is dictated by Euclidean geometry and whatever sunken-treasure-related shapes that the cereal-aestheticians were probably clamoring for, they came up with this hard-to-pin-down striated pillow formation. The important thing, for Randyโs purposes, is that the individual pieces of Capโn Crunch are, to a very rough approximation, shaped kind of like molars. The strategy, then, is to make the Capโn Crunch chew itself by grinding the nuggets together in the center of the oral cavity, like stones in a lapidary tumbler. Like advanced ballroom dancing, verbal explanations (or for that matter watching videotapes) only goes so far and then your body just has to learn the moves.

There's always a chance. It's like all the "manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts" warning on everything. It is generally safe, but there will be rare cases where it causes a problem for someone. Also, I believe there is peanut oil that is much less refined that might be a problem.

The serving staff probably wouldn't know about the inadvertent substitution. They might serve it to a customer who told them they are allergic to peanuts, not thinking the recipe for the dish changed. It's bad for the staff, not to mention for the person who eats the meal after being assured it was a safe item for them.
Someone who wants to find out if a jar of peanut butter can be used as a murder weapon?

Cereal isn't a grab 'n go food. Even though the preparation is minimal, you still have to take time to prepare it and focus on consuming it, and you're left with some dirty dishes. Compare that to a bar or RTD shake which you can grab as you run out to the door (or have it pre-packed in your bag) and consume while you commute to wherever you're going.

Well yeah, but on a scale of protein bar to four course meal, I'd rank cereal somewhere between microwavable popcorn and peanut butter sandwich.

I get that it takes time, but I'd hardly call it a hassle or messy.
One bowl, one spoon. A few minutes to eat it tops and I wouldn't even call the "clean up" a clean up it's so minimal. I can understand people not having the time to make an eggs, bacon and toast breakfast, but cereal? Come on now...

Some people are just really lazy. I've met people who felt heating things on the stove was too much cooking for them to handle. I've been asked if a regular door (not automatic, no sensor or button) was broken when it didn't open automatically by someone who couldn't just try the fucking handle. I've even seen trash left on ledges next to trash bins because finding one that isn't full is apparently a huge ordeal.
Putting two things in a dishwasher instead of tossing a wrapper in the trash, or better yet, just leaving it somewhere, is definitely "too hard" for some people.
It's not always a matter of "too hard", it's a difference in priorities. Cereal is not so enticing that I'd care to sacrifice more of my sleep time to have a bowl of it when I can instead have a hot poptart or microwavable breakfast sandwich. Or just be healthy and have some fruit. Cereal is also not was filling or nutritious as some of those other options and it's more expensive. So really, where's the benefit to cereal?
The healthiness of cereal comepletly depends on the type you buy. There's cereals with nuts, fruits/raisins (and chocolate but we're talking healthy), which can be far healthier than something you pop in a microwave. Plus you get a serving of milk (or maybe yogurt).
Also, I'm not sure if this is the case for you, but cereals go on sale basically every week here and one box of cereal lasts far longer than a box of 8 poptarts.
Obviously though, convenience takes different forms so while unit cost is a big deal to me, time seems to be a factor for you

Yeah, I'm a fan of good cereal. Nothing with too much sugar and definitely something with high fiber because otherwise you get hungry really quickly.
It's also something I can't take with me on my way to work or eat at work so it still loses out. I'm just trying to point out that there are other factors than just apparent laziness that goes into why people don't buy cereal.
Protein shakes. Cheaper, more filling, far healthier than any cereal, faster, and less clean up. Feel like you need carbs at breakfast? Make some toast, eat it plain off of a paper towel. Need fiber? Add a small serving of fruit.

The dishwasher point is that you can put them in and forget them until you're home after work. Without one, you have to ensure there's hot water, wash them, dry them and put them away. I know it's a minimal amount of effort, just trying to understand it from their perspective.

Not sure why you were down voted. Of the four things mentioned "hot water, wash them, dry them and put them away" only wash them applies. Hot water isn't needed, dry them doesn't apply as you set them on a towel/drying rack, and put them away again doesn't apply as you can do that when you get home.

I don't have a dishwasher but when I did (my parent's house) I would only rinse to make sure the biggest bits of food that could potentially clog the washer were off. I would've really soap it because that's just redundant.

I would always rinse, just because I didn't want food residue from sauces or whatever in my machine for too long in case they started smelling or getting funky (I've only ever lived with 2-4 people so we don't go through many dishes). And then I figured if I'm already rinsing, it's only one quick step to get the thing washed anyway so it's actually faster.

Eh I cook a few times a week but don't do cereal. Not worth the effort and dishes for what I get out of it, especially compared to something like a breakfast bar.
Not everyone has a dishwasher either. Scraping the soggy crumbs into the trash, washing the dish in the sink... Not no effort, but I'd rather focus my cooking/washing efforts elsewhere.
If Im choosing between 5 minutes eating cereal or five more minutes in bed, the bed wins everytime.

I also imagine a generational divide on who does the cleaning and preparing of breakfast. A bowl of cereal for a dedicated housemaker is a breeze. A bowl of cereal for a perpetually nearly late worker is more time than it's worth. Especially given how relaxed some companies are about your munching on food while working. Hell, some companies provide both the cereal and the milk in addition to letting you eat it whenever the hell you want. So why make it at home?
Well there's also the fact that the vast majority of cereal is unhealthy as fuck and more akin to eating a slice of cake as soon as you wake up than actually consuming something that'll help you get through the day.

If you like it with milk it's just as easy. Put your cereal and milk together in a ziploc bag, leave it in the freezer at work and by lunch time it will be ready for an easy snack
I feel like this would be soggy as hell, but alright.
If I had a freezer at work, I'd almost certainly have a refrigerator, right? So why wouldn't I just keep a bottle milk in there? All I have at work is my backpack, so I couldn't do anything except dry, anyway.

Compare that to a bar or RTD shake which you can grab as you run out to the door (or have it pre-packed in your bag) and consume while you commute to wherever you're going.
Or what many city-dwelling commuters do: buy something at a cafe or restaurant rather than bother at home.
My morning routine involves doing calisthenics while eating cereal, flossing/brushing, and shaving (electric, because straight would be a little too close to a Jackie Chan stunt reel). If I can do that before coffee and concerta on five hours of sleep, millennials can take a minute to sit down and chew their food.

fair enough, boxed cereal was pretty expensive last time I checked, and I don't like it or ear it nearly often enough to justify paying attention to when there are good sales lol
I wonder if it's because people are more aware that carbs aren't so good for you. I'm 40 and I switched to protein shakes for breakfast instead of cereal. Juice sales are down now too, we were brought up believing juice was so healthy because Vitaminz! but now many people know it's just way too much liquid sugar with no fiber.

That's a shame. Most people get way more protein than they need, but not enough fiber. Some people think poop is supposed to smell awful. It's not.
I don't think that at all. I feel like people don't eat enough protein but get full on shit tons of carbs and sugar. If you increased protein intake more people wouldn't be as fat as they are now. An I do agree with you on not enough fiber. A nice psyhillum husk tablet every day does wonders for people.

Fornad ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 08:08:51 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Yes, but most protein in a healthy diet shouldn't come from meat - eggs, milk, beans, oats, yoghurt etc should all be eaten far more regularly. I'd say most Westerners get about half the protein they ideally need.
But most cereal is so high in added sugar that it outweighs the benefits. I could have a bowl of cereal with 13 grams of sugar and 2 grams of fiber, or I could have a protein bar with 13 grams of fiber and 0 grams of sugar.

I still buy cereal but my awareness of how hard it is to make sure I get the protein I need without going over my max calories for the day limits my cereal options to... well, raisin bran, and even that sets me back somewhat.
Bear naked had a granola cereal with protein powder in it for a minute. 100 calories with 10 grams of protein is a pretty good ratio and it tasted okay. For reasons I can only assume were sales related they no longer offer the protein version.

The fascination of no carbs will lead to people being exhausted and diminished cognitive abilities. You're suppose to monitor your carb intake so you don't go overboard. Juice is just an unnatural devil mixture. Diabetes in liquid form. Some cereals are good for you as long it less than 5g of sugar per bowl.
Carbs aren't evil. Starches are in most vegetables, and fiber is a carb. Added sugars are unecessary and drinking juice is just consuming the fruit's sugar minus the fiber, which is silly and has no place in a balanced meal.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 08:23:03 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
We're truly reliving the 90s. No carbs in the 90s was fucking scary. The big culprit in the American diet is the over reliance on added sugar. Key work being added. That's an unnecessary carb people don't need in their diet. Its designed for a special occasion. Carbs with fiber soften the digestion and slowly feed the breakdown of carbs to sugar to your pancreas and then turn into insulin for energy. This is why people need to learn that carbs aren't evil they're literally the reason why our brain is alive. Protein helps with cell reproduction and repair. Hence the misconception of protein supplement build muscle. It doesn't, it just keeps it nourish. A balanced diet will lead to amazing benefit you'll see in a matter of days. You'll start thinking clearly and having normal bowel movements. But the whole issue with carbs is not carbs, but added sugar which is unnecessary carbs.
My dietician said that both juice and cereal are made with the "dredges of the fruit/grain industries," meaning that whatever was not sellable was then used to make juice and cereal. Imagining all the gross, bruised and rotting apples from the ground made juice less appealing to me. Same as cereal.

That doesn't mean the rotting fruits/veggies. The non-sellable include the bruised (not that they have gone bad, they're just damaged), misshapen, too small/large, too ripe to make it to market before being over ripe, and generally the edible but not beautiful produce that people won't likely pick out of the pile of more aesthetically pleasing produce. Far less food gets wasted if it's pressed into juices or chopped up and frozen or made into ready to eat meals etc.

I think the point is that cereal involves dishes and tidying (minimal amounts, granted) while a piece of fruit or a breakfast bar have only a wrapper or skin which just needs binned, and many young people just skip breakfast.

I make breakfast cups on Sundays and eat them at work through the week. The keep well in the refrigerator and microwave nicely. Only have to do dishes once a week, I can eat them at work at my desk and they keep me fuller more than cereal. Since I've already made them, I don't have to wake up earlier to eat, I just grab the container and off I go to work.
Cereal is more of a snack food than actual meal. It's more sugar and carbs than anything.

Make them for your family! I've bought silicone cupcake liners that are reusable. It also makes it easier to pop the breakfast cup out of the liner, easy to clean.
My recipe is easy. 10 eggs and 12 pieces of pre-cooked bacon. Add ham, bacon bits, green onion, etc if you wish. Wrap the bacon in each cup. Whip up eggs, add extras, pour equally into the cups. I can eat about 2 for breakfast. Make extra for family members who want them.
I think they could effectively combat this by marketing it as not a breakfast thing. I mean, I never eat cereal for breakfast either, for reasons others have mentioned. But I do have it for a quick, easy dinner or late night snack pretty regularly.

It requires you to sit down and eat breakfast. Sounds pretty standard but think of how many people eat breakfast on the go. It's not "hard" to make but it requires the forethought of giving yourself 5-10 mins extra time to eat which most don't have or make.

Hmm, ok. Common use of "cereal" here includes most grain-based breakfast foods. So porridge and and muesli are cereals. Must be different over there in the US.
As a millennial, I don't understand at all how people classify cereal as unhealthy. Not every cereal is loaded with sugar ffs. Every morning I eat honey bunches of oats or wheaties because I personally think they taste a lot better than cereals like lucky charms and I know they're a lot healthier.
You have shown that you are fairly ignorant about nutrition.
Having googled the nutritional value of honey bunches, one cup (and let's be real here, a grown person never eats just one cup) contains 46g of carbs, 3g fat and 4g protein.
Those macros are pretty bad. I mean, eat whatever you want, but don't lie about how "healthy" it is. And yes, it's marginally better than eating lucky charms, but both are still pretty bad.

In 2014, the discontinued Monster Cereals (Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy) were re-released for the Halloween season, along with the regular Monster Cereals: Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Boo Berry.
I hope that the nostalgia kick encourages them to do this again. Fruit Brute was delicious.
The new formulations of the regular monster cereals are nothing like the originals. They're puffy, airy, and crunchy-sharp instead of dense and oaty. The flavor is completely different as well. It makes me sad.

probably stopped using hydrogenated oils/trans fats. Also, most cereals have cut back on sugar recently. If you notice, many sweet cereals have 9g of sugar, which is in that "under 10g of sugar" sweet spots that many parents look for.

Still waiting on the double frosting, or frosting on both sides version. The little bites mini wheats usually have a bit more frosting per wheat. When the mini wheat becomes encased in the frosting, keeping it from falling apart in milk, I will consider the cereal finished.

Those little dry turds are not fit to feed livestock. They are a product of an alternate timeline in which the world has become a fascistic dystopia and all human values have been discarded, along with them an appreciation for cuisine, and the benumbed shaven-headed masses subsist on a diet of hardened brown pellets produced by the AGRO-MIN.

As the Nameless One passes the earth itself attempts to mirror Its terrible power and beauty. Particles of insensate grass and soil negotiate themselves into scuttling, frantic reflections of pure insanity. As they blindly tumble and coil away in the wake of the Devourer, they consume all in their path. These "Grapenuts," as you call them, are the excrement of these gibbering obsceneties. We who walk in the shadows have few other sources of nourishment. We see you, through the veil, walking in the light, eating these "Grapenuts," and we despair.

Grape-Nuts are the manliest cereal on the market. You're basically eating rocks of pure fiber.
Actually it's even manlier than that. The ingredients are essentially like a wheat beer: "whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour...malt extract and dried yeast"

They're pretty crunchy, but they won't hurt your teeth (if they do, you've got serious dental issues). They have a pretty malty, a little salty, sweet (in a malty way) taste to them. Almost kind of like a crunchy, cereal version of a dopplebock beer. I add a little stevia or splenda to the milk, though.
They are browned wheat cereal with a little sweetness. No resemblance to grapes. IIRC they are made by baking loaves of wheat dough, then drying, and then crushing.
Microwave them with milk and a little butter and sugar.

Thanks. I'll bear it in mind if I'm ever in the US.
I was making baked and and cheese this week and noticed we didn't have and crackers or bread crumbs. Soaked some grape nuts in melted garlic butter, boom had a crust. It's a really versitile product to have on hand, and the expiration date warrants always having a box handy imo.
Yeah you don't want a whole bowl of grape nuts cause then you're just eating milky gravel. But not enough and your cereal is textureless mush after like a minute. Achieving optimal crunch is no trivial matter.
Why is achieving optimal crunchiness MY problem? Isn't that why I have 4,000 choices of breakfast cereals? I shouldn't have to begin my day mixing cereals!

I ruined grape nuts for myself, I had gotten them to try, and the next morning I was super tired. Made myself a bowl and made it through two bites before realizing that funny taste wasn't the cereal, it was the heavy whipping cream that, in my grogginess, I managed to pour in my bowl.
I nearly puked, the realization of what I'd done made the taste really hit me. Now my brain associates grape nuts with that experience. In my defense though that bottle looks exactly like a half gallon of milk, and I was super tired.
I do! My Dad actually taught me how to eat them when I was about 6. Don't put as much in the bowl as you do other cereal because it's so dense. Then add "too much" milk, just barely drowning the cereal. Then wait for a few minutes to let the milk soak in. Delicious!
Of course, as others have stated, you can just use a microwave oven today, but this was 1973.

I don't mind grape nuts, if you leave them for a couple mins they start going soft and have a nice taste to them, kinda like a malted taste i guess.

I fucking love grape nuts! (24yo)
And they're not rocks, they're pleasantly crunchy - they're anything but rocks after you put them in milk. That said, I typically eat them more as a dessert item in some soy milk with stevia and vanilla extract. They have a very malty taste that I find pleasant, similar to my taste in beer.
Grape Nuts taste like my childhood. I wish my teeth didn't hate them these days.
My sons actually called Grape Nuts "rocks" when they were little. They spent the night with a relative and I got a weird phone call: "um...the twins say they usually eat eggs or rocks for breakfast?!?"

I'm in the Consumer Packaged Goods business. A primary reason for coming out with new SKUs is because of this failure rate -- in all categories, not just the cereal one.
Every year there are duds in a category. The retailer will almost always chop off the bottom-performing 10% of items. What goes to fill that space? New items usually. And you better make darn sure as a manufacturer that those are your new items and not your competitors'.

Trix is definitely here in the US.
When i was a kid in the 80's, they were the puffs. Then sometime around the 90's they changed to the pressed shapes that made the cereal hard almost to the Grapenuts level.
Only recently did they change back to puffs and even though I don't buy sugar cereal often, i sometimes treat myself to a box.

One of the reasons for that is that the cereal category as a whole is tanking. People are eating less and less cereal because it's viewed as an unhealthy carb bomb. Manufacturers are attempting to combat this by coming out with more nutritionally dense/complete cereals - higher in protein, fiber, focus on whole grains and healthy inclusions (nuts, seeds, fruit), and reducing refined sugars. The trade-off is that those ingredients are more expensive.

And more importantly, they don't taste as good. I know they are horrible for me but lucky charms are my drug of choice and I am 59 years old.
A lot of people are unaware that the rise in cost of a lot of cereal products is because they converted to "organic" and "nonGMO".
For the non GMO label, vitamins had to be removed, because they were created by genetically engineered microorganisms.
Even organic farmers admit they can get double or more for certified organic product, even farmers who grow crops that previously used little or no synthetic pesticides.
For those that did use synthetic pesticides, they just switched to pesticides that are derived from organic sources as defined by the standards. It doesn't necessarily mean safer, and more often than not, it means more has to be sprayed to get the same effect.
It's so annoying to people who've following health and diet related nonsense for several years. The industry has even resorted to the same tactics climate change deniers have, and taken to harassing pro GMO scientists and journalists.

You. I like you. I feel like we could be friends.
I've had enough of this "organic" crazed crap. No one actually understands it, but if it costs more it must be better...
It's one of those things the Penn & Teller's Bullshit covered ages ago that people still fall for. I swear to science, that show is basically required watching for a beginner skeptic.
Finally a bit of background on where that statement came from. Wheat and oats do not have genetically modified counterparts so it's as easy to slap a nonGMO project sticker on a bag of oats or flour it as it is to slap a fat free sticker on a bag of marshmellows or pixie sticks; or sugar free sticker on a bottle of cooking oil. Seeing they ran into a bit of bureaucracy in the process, that doesn't mean "vitamins have to be removed", it means in that instance perhaps they did while they figure things out because they feel they can fetch a higher price off other's ignorance. There are plenty of processed foods out there, genetically modified or not, that have vitamins supplemented in them so to use that as a reason to put down genetically-modified or non-genetically-modified things because somebody ran into some roadblocks isn't exactly a good bullet-point for defending such. I called you out because you made 5 rather vague bullet points like that all desperately defending big industry in support of their biotech corporations. There are plenty of reasons to the contrary as well.
Batman, superman, ghostbusters, secret life of pets, baseball season, football season, all cereals that have come and gone this year. Promo cereals are a big thing now. I've also seen Spider-Man, Star Wars, and various tv cartoon ones. Plus limited time variations.

One time I got food poisoning as kid, probably from something else, and threw up violently while eating King Vitamin. Couldn't even look at it again. After refusing to eat it for a couple weeks my parents finally started getting other cereals.

I think the implication is the opposite. They don't have time to have breakfast at all, or when they do they just eat a protein bar. Because they have two jobs or have to work overtime for no extra pay with an hour long commute to afford their loans and over-expensive apartment...
This is where we run into two completely separate types of "millenials"
The ones watching Netflix late into the night probably have a large collection of 90s breakfast cereals that they eat a bit too much of in the morning.
Try taking either a prepackaged cup of yogurt or cereal to work. Yogurt is easier to grba and go. When I'm leaving for work it's easier to just grab some yogurt than having to get something for the milk. I could leave both at work but that's still more to keep up with than having a stock of yogurt at home. I don't know, I guess I can see it as technically easier. I do granola and plain yogurt so it's slightly easier (yougurt is easier to transport) but really it's more of a health thing. Less cereal more dairy and probiotics.

I eat cereal, but more as a dessert thing. Don't eat breakfast or lunch due to practicing intermittent fasting, which is actually incredibly easy to maintain after the first few weeks. That clear-headed, stable energy until a mammoth feast at dinner is the bomb!
I'm sorry, I'm having real trouble believing that first graph. It looks like exactly one more cereal was released than the previous year every year since 1978? Real trends are just not that precise. It looks like some years are missing, and every y-axis point is represented exactly once. What is this graph really showing? Because I don't believe it's the number of cereals released per year
WKHR ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:06:17 on September 11, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
As it says at the bottom of the article, it's scraped from a "list of breakfast cereals" on Wikipedia. Would be interesting to know how the oddly uniform trend in cereals per year came about, but it's hard to know where to start with a methodology so vulnerable to selection bias.
Maybe it doesn't account for brands which are far less popular but still profiting, local brands and the like. It would kind make sense for large established companies to limit their releases like that, since adding another cereal would create competition for their older brands.
If you page through the records in that view selector you'll see the data is crammed with duplicates. I wouldn't believe anything on that blog unless you check it.
Yeah, probably because it's almost certainly a load of crap. Lets break this down:
The first figure shows almost a 40 year run where the number of cereals launched each year is increases by exactly 1. That's an immediate red flag.
But then look at the second figure, which seems like it's trying to show the same data as figure 1, binned by decade. The total number of cereals launched in the 90s is lower than the 80s, which makes no sense if figure 1 is accurate, Also, the values themselves are off by an entire order of magnitude: the total number of cereals launched in the entire decade of the 90s shown in figure 2 is about 55. But if you just sum the values in figure 1 from 1990-2000, then you get ~450.
It gets worse--if you add up the total number of cereals launched as shown in figure 2 (just adding all the bars together) you get around 390. But then if you go down to figure 4, which supposedly shows how long each cereal lasts on the market, and add all those up, you only get ~200.
So, yeah, I'm not buying any of this. Sanity check before you publish, bro!

With all that variety, it's amazing how difficult it still is to find any options that are sugar-free and taste good. There are a couple of mueslis, but that's about it.
For that last few years I've been making my own cereal blends from different kinds of flakes, oatmeal, nuts, dried fruit, etc. It's not that I enjoy blending my own cereal, it's just that it's impossible to find hardly any decent pre-made ones.
That list of cereals is horrible. Almost every single cereal which I searched had a different start or end date than the data shows. if I had $100,000,000 dollars to give to the best cereal lists on line, I would not give enen $10,000 to the person who made this website because it's an EPIC FAIL๐

They left off Shredded Wheat, started in 1892 and still being sold, and Trix, started in 1955 and still being sold. And I'm sure there are many others they forgot.

My dad used to tell me cereals with the checkerboard square (Ralston/Purina's logo) was actually dog food. I think it was so I would ask for Sugar Smacks or Frosted Flakes. Yes they were called Sugar Smacks back in the olden days, not Honey Smacks, not just Smacks but sugar was right in the name.

Still mad as hell about Honey Bunches of Oats with Peaches being discontinued. Those were the shit!
They used to make these Cap'n Crunch Donut Oh's that were the truth. And as another person said, Oreo Oh's.
Oh and since we're here, Doritos used to make this Spicy BBQ flavor that was amazing.
Thank God we still have Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I swear they put crack in there.

Wouldn't most cereals released be rip offs of the popular brands anyway?
For every cornflakes there's probably dozens of "flaked corn", "corn wafers", "corn bitz", etc.
I was sadly born too late and had no idea they existed until a few years ago. Cereal with one of my favorite Muppets on the box? Yes, please!

I was like 7 when they originally came out and 11 for the brief rerelease. They were good, very cinnaminy. I also watched the muppet show at the time so loved the tie in. This and Nintendo cereal were the oddest ones I remember as a kid. Oh and ghostbusters cereal!
King Vitamin. The only generic big bag cereal that tasted ok. And by ok I mean amazing. I haven't had a bag in years.

As shown, we are entering a golden age of cereal variety! The majority of cereals have been launched in the past ~10 years (over 1/3 of all cereals):
over 40% of millennials opted out of breakfast cereal because of the hassle (time + mess to clean up after).
You pour dry Cereal in to a bowl, add milk from a jug, and eat it. Wash a bowl and a spoon. What's the hassle here? I guess it's a little easier than opening a thing of yogurt, but Damm, are people really that lazy?
They were raised by moms who shoved them in a car with a cereal bar and a juice box every morning.
I raised my millennial on hot cereal with the occassional boiled egg. Now that she's out of the house she eats hot cereal and the occasional boiled egg.
Hot cereal = old fashioned oats, farina, grits, Bob 's Red Mill 7 grain.
They just reflect how they were raised, and too many of them were raised as nearly disposable fashion accessories, harranged into being by Baby Boomers who insisted their Gen X-ers had kids.
I'm an older millennial (31) and I guess I'm a mix. I was raise eating cold Cereal or oatmeal in the morning with some juice in front of a TV before catching the bus.
Now, I go out the door with juice and fruit once I get to work. It's mostly out of not wanting to get up 10 minutes earlier and not seeing the benefit. I do eat Cereal on the weekends.
I wonder how much of it has to do with the old food pyramid. Reagan or whoever from the Dept of Agriculture told us 6 - 10 grains a day! The only way to accomplish this his was a heavy bowl of cereal in the morning and a lot of snack crackers and such in the afternoon. At least, that's what my lunch consisted of.
Not following the fashion accessory bit. Well, I guess I never experience that myself. I know cars and houses can be status symbols, but kids? Ugh, that's low.
Kellogg's has a Mini-Wheats without frosting and Post sells a spoon-sized shredded wheat. There are also many other brands. Just make sure you don't buy the original sized shredded wheats, they're HUGE! That said, the unfrosted Mini-Wheats are hard to find.

This is a whole new level of lazy. Making eggs or pancakes in the morning might be called a "hassle", but milk and cereal is one of the laziest breakfasts you can make.

It is more just not wanting to stop to eat breakfast. I just munch on some pop tarts, cereal bar, or protein bar at work.
I hate to tell you but all of General Mills cereals have been around since the 1950's or 1960's. And then you have Post cereals and Kellogg's and again the brand's products have been around since the middle of last century. So tell me again how most cereals are discontinued in 5 years?

No one seems to be mentioning the stuff that's meant to only last a short amount of time, like Gronk Flakes or whatever Ryan Gronkowski is on the front of (it's not Wheaties). I feel like there's a new "Star Wars Marshmallow Bites!" every few months.
Does anyone remember frosted flakes gold? It was the greatest cereal to grace this earth and they cancelled it after a year or so. I still get upset thinking about it

I keep cereal in the house as a diabetic "emergency" food, where if I have a bad crash, I whip up a bowl of Raisin Bran and boom, I go from low to high in a half a bowl.
Working in a company that is a main supplier for General Mills plastic film packaging I can believe this. So many honey oat granola bars...

I still miss Blueberry Morning cereal. It was even more soul crushing when the changed the recipe though. The original cereal flakes would stay crunchy...then then changed the recipe and the new flakes got soggy almost immediately.
I checked on Amazon, and temporarily had my hopes up when I found that you can buy them again. Unfortunately, the reviews confirmed that they were selling the soggy flakes version.

Most cereals are too sweet for me. For example, I can stand Honey Bunches of Oats (6g sugar per serving), but I couldn't eat the Walmart variety (8g sugar per serving) because it was too sweet.
This means I either eat something like corn flakes (3g sugar per serving) that is a one ingredient cereal, or I usually get something that's too sweet. Because of this I just have like 10 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats since that's the only "mixed" cereal I can stand.
Frankenstein berries and count chocula aren't really "still in production". I think they do small runs for a month or so around halloween, but I haven't seen them in years
Little bit late to the conversation, but I really miss the original Nutrigrain Cereal. Right before they become discontinued it they tried to sugar it all up so people would buy it more.
More than half of all cereals are utterly disgusting.

For those that are unable to find their favourite cereal, it seems as though the data collection process ignored all cereals that didn't have a date of release/discontinuation on the wiki page it pulled the info from. So look through the wiki page and go through that to find out how it stacks up.
A series of cereal eulogies? All lined up too...a series of serial cereal eulogies. And they're all so somber...a serious series of serial cereal eulogies.

worked on a CPG product. You would have base flavors . . and standards that would do well. Then you would introduce line extensions. The plan was a new line extension or two every year or two. You make a #@!ton just on stocking up all the walmarts.
Eventually people would try it. .whatever and the base would start taking back shelf space (or worse a competitor) so you launch a new line extension and retire the last one
And so the cycle goes

As a Canadian who went to America for the first time as an adult about 5 years ago, you guys have a LOT of options for cereal. It comes as no surprise that most of those flavours and options don't last more than 5 years.
That being said, Mini Wheats Crunch ruled and I haven't been able to find it and I guess it was one that got discontinued. That makes me sad.

I imagine a lot of the discontinued ones are things like the Superman and Avengers cereals that were launched as tie-ins with the movies - they're really just generic sugar cereals with movie-specific box art, only intended to be in circulation for short time.

Fuck, man. I haven't eaten cereal (or shopped for cereal) in so long, I'm getting upset just reading this thread, learning that most of the cereals I know now don't exist.
This is actually some pretty good data. The title is a little bit misleading because it doesn't show the market control of the top 20-30 cereals. It makes sense that a lot of these knock off brands wouldn't stay around very long.
Ugh. Cereal is such a huge lie. Everyone markets their sugar as healthy but that's only accounting for either the fortified nutrition or including the nutrition in milk. Cereals should not be allowed to market another ingredient's nutrition. If you really just want a sugary snack, fine I like cereal once in a while but it's far from the healthiest breakfast option, really most marketed options are.

Very thoughtful analysis. Thanks for presenting something non-controversial and presenting it well to provide an actual discussion. Also, the visualizations follow good principles, which I appreciate in this sub.
You offer two possible explanations to the increasing variety of cereals, but I would offer a third. In your dataset, towards the end were short-tenured cereals like "Spongebob Squarepants" and "Ghostbusters". Did you consider promotional cereals and brands with a definitive "death date" as an explanation? I don't think anyone at Kellogg's thought "Cat in the Hat" cereal had a shelf-life outlasting a year of movie hype and promos.

I think it's safe to assume if 40% of millennials opted out of cereal because of the time it took to prepare and how messy it was; 40% of the surveys are mentally and physically challenged. Cerealously you just add milk and boom all prepared!
Does anyone remember Buc-Wheats? It was my favorite when I was a kid back in the 70's. It was essentially Wheaties with a maple sugar coating. Goddamn, it was so good. I try to recreate the taste every now and then by putting maple syrup on Wheaties, but it's not quite the same.
Not that I miss it or anything bu remember that awful cereal grape nut? That shit was awful it was probably horse food that they lied about and sold it as cereal.
I make my own cereals and granola, usually. But I live close to a co-op market with a huge selection of bulk dry goods and nuts and stuff. I even get my spices from the bulk section.
edit: Man people hate that I make my own cereals! Don't worry, it's the only "crunchy" thing I do. I just fucking love muesli and granola way more than i should.
I don't understand why you're being downvoted but I only eat cereal for dessert. It's like ice cream with slightly less guilt. And then I can eat like 3 bowls.

The first death of Oreo O's was when they changed the flavor of the O's and added marshmallows. It was originally just the O's and they tasted fucking amazing, like seriously twice as good as the marshmallow version. But even the marshmallow version was better than most cereals.

This is true. The marshmallows just took up precious space in the box that could've been used for more Oreo O's.

That was not wise. I lived in Korea for a while, and was super excited when I saw those there. I of course bought a box, and was extremely underwhelmed. They are not nearly sweet or "chocolaty" enough. Korea shit is weird, because a lot of things don't have enough sugar (for someone used to American crap) and then other things have an insane amount, like Gatorade which I couldn't stand there.

You do also realize that food production for the most part is self-regulated in the U.S.?
The FDA is tiny, and the budget only allows for so much testing, personnel, etc. We've had plenty of food issues. Not saying we're a mess or anything but it's far from perfect.
It's also the same country that put bread above vegetables in nutrition recommendations... so there's that.

Shrugfacebot ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:46:25 on September 11, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
TL;DR: Type in ยฏ\\\_(ใ)_/ยฏ for proper formatting
Actual reply:
For the
like you were trying for you need three backslashes, so it should look like this when you type it out
which will turn out like this
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
The reason for this is that the underscore character (this one _ ) is used to italicize words just like an asterisk does (this guy * ). Since the "face" of the emoticon has an underscore on each side it naturally wants to italicize the "face" (this guy (ใ) ). The backslash is reddit's escape character (basically a character used to say that you don't want to use a special character in order to format, but rather you just want it to display). So your first "\_" is just saying "hey, I don't want to italicize (ใ)" so it keeps the underscore but gets rid of the backslash since it's just an escape character. After this you still want the arm, so you have to add two more backslashes (two, not one, since backslash is an escape character, so you need an escape character for your escape character to display--confusing, I know). Anyways, I guess that's my lesson for the day on reddit formatting lol
CAUTION: Probably very boring edit as to why you don't need to escape the second underscore, read only if you're super bored or need to fall asleep.
Edit: The reason you only need an escape character for the first underscore and not the second is because the second underscore (which doesn't have an escape character) doesn't have another underscore with which to italicize. Reddit's formatting works in that you need a special character to indicate how you want to format text, then you put the text you want to format, then you put the character again. For example, you would type _italicize_ or *italicize* in order to get italicize. Since we put an escape character we have \_italicize_ and don't need to escape the second underscore since there's not another non-escaped underscore with which to italicize something in between them. So technically you could have written ยฏ\\\_(ใ)\_/ยฏ but you don't need to since there's not a second non-escaped underscore. You would need to escape the second underscore if you planned on using another underscore in the same line (but not if you used a line break, aka pressed enter twice). If you used an asterisk later though on the same line it would not work with the non-escaped underscore to italicize. To show you this, you can type _italicize* and it should not be italicized.

They still make it in Korea I do believe and you can buy it on eBay. I heard it tastes different though and is DEFINITELY overpriced.
Maybe if this comment is upvoted enough some executive will see and possibly bring it back.

You can order it on Amazon Prime. I just got like 8 boxes of it. Tastes the same as ever, the only problem is that there aren't really clumps like there used to be. It's just like really, really sugary Rice Krispies. Dunno if the Walmart boxes are the same.

I came to post this! Oh my God it's the best cereal ever! I used to eat it before my soccer games when I was 5-7 years old and it'd give me such a sugar rush that I'd be the fastest kid on the field.
I found this cereal at Target I think, like 3-5 years ago, just randomly there in a purple box. I should have stocked up because that's the last time I saw it.
Hands down no cereal comes close to how magnificent this cereal tastes and I'm still quite the cereal comnosiour lol

I now work in a private brand processing plant but we only "emulate" the current market and our R&D is devoted to that and my pleads for carving out a new market share instead of undercutting other's market share falls upon deaf earns no matter how pretty my PowerPoint presentations are.

Considering it is almost certainly fried in something containing peanut oil

Peanut oil isn't really a big problem. I don't risk it for myself, but it is usually pretty well processed to get out all the protein that people are actually allergic to.
robotzor ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:21:07 on September 11, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
That's good to know. Places around me that use it to fry usually have a note on the door so it made me think it was something to worry about.

There's always a chance. It's like all the "manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts" warning on everything. It is generally safe, but there will be rare cases where it causes a problem for someone. Also, I believe there is peanut oil that is much less refined that might be a problem.
SirNarwhal ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:37:19 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
It's actually not just the processing; the protein literally dies when heated to how hot you need the oil to be to fry things.
SirNarwhal ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:36:47 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Peanut oil is safe for consumption by those with peanut allergies as the proteins that cause allergic reactions die at high heat.

The serving staff probably wouldn't know about the inadvertent substitution. They might serve it to a customer who told them they are allergic to peanuts, not thinking the recipe for the dish changed. It's bad for the staff, not to mention for the person who eats the meal after being assured it was a safe item for them.

Cereal isn't a grab 'n go food. Even though the preparation is minimal, you still have to take time to prepare it and focus on consuming it, and you're left with some dirty dishes. Compare that to a bar or RTD shake which you can grab as you run out to the door (or have it pre-packed in your bag) and consume while you commute to wherever you're going.

Some people are just really lazy. I've met people who felt heating things on the stove was too much cooking for them to handle. I've been asked if a regular door (not automatic, no sensor or button) was broken when it didn't open automatically by someone who couldn't just try the fucking handle. I've even seen trash left on ledges next to trash bins because finding one that isn't full is apparently a huge ordeal.
Putting two things in a dishwasher instead of tossing a wrapper in the trash, or better yet, just leaving it somewhere, is definitely "too hard" for some people.
legendofhilda ยท 13 points ยท Posted at 23:38:38 on September 11, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
It's not always a matter of "too hard", it's a difference in priorities. Cereal is not so enticing that I'd care to sacrifice more of my sleep time to have a bowl of it when I can instead have a hot poptart or microwavable breakfast sandwich. Or just be healthy and have some fruit. Cereal is also not was filling or nutritious as some of those other options and it's more expensive. So really, where's the benefit to cereal?
PM_ME_STEAM_CODE_PLZ ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 23:49:56 on September 11, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
The healthiness of cereal comepletly depends on the type you buy. There's cereals with nuts, fruits/raisins (and chocolate but we're talking healthy), which can be far healthier than something you pop in a microwave. Plus you get a serving of milk (or maybe yogurt).
Also, I'm not sure if this is the case for you, but cereals go on sale basically every week here and one box of cereal lasts far longer than a box of 8 poptarts.
Obviously though, convenience takes different forms so while unit cost is a big deal to me, time seems to be a factor for you

Protein shakes. Cheaper, more filling, far healthier than any cereal, faster, and less clean up. Feel like you need carbs at breakfast? Make some toast, eat it plain off of a paper towel. Need fiber? Add a small serving of fruit.

The dishwasher point is that you can put them in and forget them until you're home after work. Without one, you have to ensure there's hot water, wash them, dry them and put them away. I know it's a minimal amount of effort, just trying to understand it from their perspective.

Not sure why you were down voted. Of the four things mentioned "hot water, wash them, dry them and put them away" only wash them applies. Hot water isn't needed, dry them doesn't apply as you set them on a towel/drying rack, and put them away again doesn't apply as you can do that when you get home.

They're really not. Loading is the same as putting things on a drying rack and unloading is the same as putting anything away in the cupboards. Plus, you have to actually wash the dishes if you're not doing it by hand.

Do you not rinse dishes before they go in the machine?

I don't have a dishwasher but when I did (my parent's house) I would only rinse to make sure the biggest bits of food that could potentially clog the washer were off. I would've really soap it because that's just redundant.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:28:23 on September 13, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I would always rinse, just because I didn't want food residue from sauces or whatever in my machine for too long in case they started smelling or getting funky (I've only ever lived with 2-4 people so we don't go through many dishes). And then I figured if I'm already rinsing, it's only one quick step to get the thing washed anyway so it's actually faster.

Eh I cook a few times a week but don't do cereal. Not worth the effort and dishes for what I get out of it, especially compared to something like a breakfast bar.
Not everyone has a dishwasher either. Scraping the soggy crumbs into the trash, washing the dish in the sink... Not no effort, but I'd rather focus my cooking/washing efforts elsewhere.

I also imagine a generational divide on who does the cleaning and preparing of breakfast. A bowl of cereal for a dedicated housemaker is a breeze. A bowl of cereal for a perpetually nearly late worker is more time than it's worth. Especially given how relaxed some companies are about your munching on food while working. Hell, some companies provide both the cereal and the milk in addition to letting you eat it whenever the hell you want. So why make it at home?

I still buy cereal but my awareness of how hard it is to make sure I get the protein I need without going over my max calories for the day limits my cereal options to... well, raisin bran, and even that sets me back somewhat.
Bear naked had a granola cereal with protein powder in it for a minute. 100 calories with 10 grams of protein is a pretty good ratio and it tasted okay. For reasons I can only assume were sales related they no longer offer the protein version.
Mostly I eat eggs and greek yogurt for breakfast.

I agree, don't know why you're getting downvoted.
Carbs aren't evil. Starches are in most vegetables, and fiber is a carb. Added sugars are unecessary and drinking juice is just consuming the fruit's sugar minus the fiber, which is silly and has no place in a balanced meal.

We're truly reliving the 90s. No carbs in the 90s was fucking scary. The big culprit in the American diet is the over reliance on added sugar. Key work being added. That's an unnecessary carb people don't need in their diet. Its designed for a special occasion. Carbs with fiber soften the digestion and slowly feed the breakdown of carbs to sugar to your pancreas and then turn into insulin for energy. This is why people need to learn that carbs aren't evil they're literally the reason why our brain is alive. Protein helps with cell reproduction and repair. Hence the misconception of protein supplement build muscle. It doesn't, it just keeps it nourish. A balanced diet will lead to amazing benefit you'll see in a matter of days. You'll start thinking clearly and having normal bowel movements. But the whole issue with carbs is not carbs, but added sugar which is unnecessary carbs.

My dietician said that both juice and cereal are made with the "dredges of the fruit/grain industries," meaning that whatever was not sellable was then used to make juice and cereal. Imagining all the gross, bruised and rotting apples from the ground made juice less appealing to me. Same as cereal.

That doesn't mean the rotting fruits/veggies. The non-sellable include the bruised (not that they have gone bad, they're just damaged), misshapen, too small/large, too ripe to make it to market before being over ripe, and generally the edible but not beautiful produce that people won't likely pick out of the pile of more aesthetically pleasing produce. Far less food gets wasted if it's pressed into juices or chopped up and frozen or made into ready to eat meals etc.

Make them for your family! I've bought silicone cupcake liners that are reusable. It also makes it easier to pop the breakfast cup out of the liner, easy to clean.
My recipe is easy. 10 eggs and 12 pieces of pre-cooked bacon. Add ham, bacon bits, green onion, etc if you wish. Wrap the bacon in each cup. Whip up eggs, add extras, pour equally into the cups. I can eat about 2 for breakfast. Make extra for family members who want them.

As a millennial, I'm smart enough to realise that not all breakfast cereal is Captain Sugar's Sugary Sugar Bombs (Now With Extra SUGAR).
Get some muesli. Or do porridge. Or just bloody Weet-Bix with some fruit (exclude the blood if you're not into that).
VarsityPhysicist ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:23:07 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
The "cereal" being discussed here is bagged/boxed cereal, ex. cheerios, fruit loops, cap'n crunch, special K, etc.
Those are examples of alternatives to cereal. I prefer oatmeal as cereal is just sugary with no nutrition
MisuVir ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 07:29:39 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Hmm, ok. Common use of "cereal" here includes most grain-based breakfast foods. So porridge and and muesli are cereals. Must be different over there in the US.

As a millennial, I don't understand at all how people classify cereal as unhealthy. Not every cereal is loaded with sugar ffs. Every morning I eat honey bunches of oats or wheaties because I personally think they taste a lot better than cereals like lucky charms and I know they're a lot healthier.
phillycheese ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:45:15 on September 12, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
You have shown that you are fairly ignorant about nutrition.
Having googled the nutritional value of honey bunches, one cup (and let's be real here, a grown person never eats just one cup) contains 46g of carbs, 3g fat and 4g protein.
Those macros are pretty bad. I mean, eat whatever you want, but don't lie about how "healthy" it is. And yes, it's marginally better than eating lucky charms, but both are still pretty bad.

Honey bunches of oats is loaded with sugar what are you talking about. And you do realize that carbs are essentially just sugar too, right?
Breakfast cereal is not healthy. It never has been. The entire concept was invented by grain farmers to get people to consume more grain.

In 2014, the discontinued Monster Cereals (Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy) were re-released for the Halloween season, along with the regular Monster Cereals: Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Boo Berry.
I hope that the nostalgia kick encourages them to do this again. Fruit Brute was delicious.

The new formulations of the regular monster cereals are nothing like the originals. They're puffy, airy, and crunchy-sharp instead of dense and oaty. The flavor is completely different as well. It makes me sad.

And now they cost more too than before--cause of course Disney merchandising.

And yet plain Shredded Wheat is coming up on 125 years. A cereal that tastes like hay smells, and a texture that starts out like steel wool when dry, then morphs into wet dryer lint when you add milk. Shredded Wheat - a crappy way to start your day since 1893.

I find it more enjoyable to bite off just the thinnest layer where the frosting is. That way you get the satisfaction of chewing and swallowing. My SO always stocks these and I've been doing this for years.

Still waiting on the double frosting, or frosting on both sides version. The little bites mini wheats usually have a bit more frosting per wheat. When the mini wheat becomes encased in the frosting, keeping it from falling apart in milk, I will consider the cereal finished.

Frosted isn't the same as plain though. You can dip rat turds in sugar and most kids + some adults will think it's a gourmet meal. Take off the frosting and that shredded wheat biscuit is about as palatable as a brillo pad (and probably just as effective at cleaning baked on food from pots and pans).

They're pretty crunchy, but they won't hurt your teeth (if they do, you've got serious dental issues). They have a pretty malty, a little salty, sweet (in a malty way) taste to them. Almost kind of like a crunchy, cereal version of a dopplebock beer. I add a little stevia or splenda to the milk, though.

They are browned wheat cereal with a little sweetness. No resemblance to grapes. IIRC they are made by baking loaves of wheat dough, then drying, and then crushing.

I was making baked and and cheese this week and noticed we didn't have and crackers or bread crumbs. Soaked some grape nuts in melted garlic butter, boom had a crust. It's a really versitile product to have on hand, and the expiration date warrants always having a box handy imo.
Also grape nut pudding is god damn delicious.

I ruined grape nuts for myself, I had gotten them to try, and the next morning I was super tired. Made myself a bowl and made it through two bites before realizing that funny taste wasn't the cereal, it was the heavy whipping cream that, in my grogginess, I managed to pour in my bowl.
I nearly puked, the realization of what I'd done made the taste really hit me. Now my brain associates grape nuts with that experience. In my defense though that bottle looks exactly like a half gallon of milk, and I was super tired.

I do! My Dad actually taught me how to eat them when I was about 6. Don't put as much in the bowl as you do other cereal because it's so dense. Then add "too much" milk, just barely drowning the cereal. Then wait for a few minutes to let the milk soak in. Delicious!
Of course, as others have stated, you can just use a microwave oven today, but this was 1973.

I don't mind grape nuts, if you leave them for a couple mins they start going soft and have a nice taste to them, kinda like a malted taste i guess.

And they're not rocks, they're pleasantly crunchy - they're anything but rocks after you put them in milk. That said, I typically eat them more as a dessert item in some soy milk with stevia and vanilla extract. They have a very malty taste that I find pleasant, similar to my taste in beer.

I'm in the Consumer Packaged Goods business. A primary reason for coming out with new SKUs is because of this failure rate -- in all categories, not just the cereal one.
Every year there are duds in a category. The retailer will almost always chop off the bottom-performing 10% of items. What goes to fill that space? New items usually. And you better make darn sure as a manufacturer that those are your new items and not your competitors'.

I have no idea what the oatmeal squares are. maybe we dont have them in canada.

Trix is definitely here in the US.
When i was a kid in the 80's, they were the puffs. Then sometime around the 90's they changed to the pressed shapes that made the cereal hard almost to the Grapenuts level.
Only recently did they change back to puffs and even though I don't buy sugar cereal often, i sometimes treat myself to a box.

One of the reasons for that is that the cereal category as a whole is tanking. People are eating less and less cereal because it's viewed as an unhealthy carb bomb. Manufacturers are attempting to combat this by coming out with more nutritionally dense/complete cereals - higher in protein, fiber, focus on whole grains and healthy inclusions (nuts, seeds, fruit), and reducing refined sugars. The trade-off is that those ingredients are more expensive.

A lot of people are unaware that the rise in cost of a lot of cereal products is because they converted to "organic" and "nonGMO".
For the non GMO label, vitamins had to be removed, because they were created by genetically engineered microorganisms.
Even organic farmers admit they can get double or more for certified organic product, even farmers who grow crops that previously used little or no synthetic pesticides.
For those that did use synthetic pesticides, they just switched to pesticides that are derived from organic sources as defined by the standards. It doesn't necessarily mean safer, and more often than not, it means more has to be sprayed to get the same effect.
It's so annoying to people who've following health and diet related nonsense for several years. The industry has even resorted to the same tactics climate change deniers have, and taken to harassing pro GMO scientists and journalists.

Finally a bit of background on where that statement came from. Wheat and oats do not have genetically modified counterparts so it's as easy to slap a nonGMO project sticker on a bag of oats or flour it as it is to slap a fat free sticker on a bag of marshmellows or pixie sticks; or sugar free sticker on a bottle of cooking oil. Seeing they ran into a bit of bureaucracy in the process, that doesn't mean "vitamins have to be removed", it means in that instance perhaps they did while they figure things out because they feel they can fetch a higher price off other's ignorance. There are plenty of processed foods out there, genetically modified or not, that have vitamins supplemented in them so to use that as a reason to put down genetically-modified or non-genetically-modified things because somebody ran into some roadblocks isn't exactly a good bullet-point for defending such. I called you out because you made 5 rather vague bullet points like that all desperately defending big industry in support of their biotech corporations. There are plenty of reasons to the contrary as well.

I think the implication is the opposite. They don't have time to have breakfast at all, or when they do they just eat a protein bar. Because they have two jobs or have to work overtime for no extra pay with an hour long commute to afford their loans and over-expensive apartment...

Also, cereal is fucking expensive for what you actually get (a shitty carb bomb) and to feel full you have to eat a third of the damn box.
Fuck that shit, if you have time to eat cereal then almost every other breakfast food is better for you at a similar price.

Try taking either a prepackaged cup of yogurt or cereal to work. Yogurt is easier to grba and go. When I'm leaving for work it's easier to just grab some yogurt than having to get something for the milk. I could leave both at work but that's still more to keep up with than having a stock of yogurt at home. I don't know, I guess I can see it as technically easier. I do granola and plain yogurt so it's slightly easier (yougurt is easier to transport) but really it's more of a health thing. Less cereal more dairy and probiotics.

I'm sorry, I'm having real trouble believing that first graph. It looks like exactly one more cereal was released than the previous year every year since 1978? Real trends are just not that precise. It looks like some years are missing, and every y-axis point is represented exactly once. What is this graph really showing? Because I don't believe it's the number of cereals released per year
WKHR ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:06:17 on September 11, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
As it says at the bottom of the article, it's scraped from a "list of breakfast cereals" on Wikipedia. Would be interesting to know how the oddly uniform trend in cereals per year came about, but it's hard to know where to start with a methodology so vulnerable to selection bias.

Maybe it doesn't account for brands which are far less popular but still profiting, local brands and the like. It would kind make sense for large established companies to limit their releases like that, since adding another cereal would create competition for their older brands.

Yeah, probably because it's almost certainly a load of crap. Lets break this down:
The first figure shows almost a 40 year run where the number of cereals launched each year is increases by exactly 1. That's an immediate red flag.
But then look at the second figure, which seems like it's trying to show the same data as figure 1, binned by decade. The total number of cereals launched in the 90s is lower than the 80s, which makes no sense if figure 1 is accurate, Also, the values themselves are off by an entire order of magnitude: the total number of cereals launched in the entire decade of the 90s shown in figure 2 is about 55. But if you just sum the values in figure 1 from 1990-2000, then you get ~450.
It gets worse--if you add up the total number of cereals launched as shown in figure 2 (just adding all the bars together) you get around 390. But then if you go down to figure 4, which supposedly shows how long each cereal lasts on the market, and add all those up, you only get ~200.
So, yeah, I'm not buying any of this. Sanity check before you publish, bro!

With all that variety, it's amazing how difficult it still is to find any options that are sugar-free and taste good. There are a couple of mueslis, but that's about it.
For that last few years I've been making my own cereal blends from different kinds of flakes, oatmeal, nuts, dried fruit, etc. It's not that I enjoy blending my own cereal, it's just that it's impossible to find hardly any decent pre-made ones.

They were raised by moms who shoved them in a car with a cereal bar and a juice box every morning.
I raised my millennial on hot cereal with the occassional boiled egg. Now that she's out of the house she eats hot cereal and the occasional boiled egg.
Hot cereal = old fashioned oats, farina, grits, Bob 's Red Mill 7 grain.
They just reflect how they were raised, and too many of them were raised as nearly disposable fashion accessories, harranged into being by Baby Boomers who insisted their Gen X-ers had kids.

I'm an older millennial (31) and I guess I'm a mix. I was raise eating cold Cereal or oatmeal in the morning with some juice in front of a TV before catching the bus.
Now, I go out the door with juice and fruit once I get to work. It's mostly out of not wanting to get up 10 minutes earlier and not seeing the benefit. I do eat Cereal on the weekends.
I wonder how much of it has to do with the old food pyramid. Reagan or whoever from the Dept of Agriculture told us 6 - 10 grains a day! The only way to accomplish this his was a heavy bowl of cereal in the morning and a lot of snack crackers and such in the afternoon. At least, that's what my lunch consisted of.
Not following the fashion accessory bit. Well, I guess I never experience that myself. I know cars and houses can be status symbols, but kids? Ugh, that's low.

Kellogg's has a Mini-Wheats without frosting and Post sells a spoon-sized shredded wheat. There are also many other brands. Just make sure you don't buy the original sized shredded wheats, they're HUGE! That said, the unfrosted Mini-Wheats are hard to find.

I hate to tell you but all of General Mills cereals have been around since the 1950's or 1960's. And then you have Post cereals and Kellogg's and again the brand's products have been around since the middle of last century. So tell me again how most cereals are discontinued in 5 years?

I still miss Blueberry Morning cereal. It was even more soul crushing when the changed the recipe though. The original cereal flakes would stay crunchy...then then changed the recipe and the new flakes got soggy almost immediately.
I checked on Amazon, and temporarily had my hopes up when I found that you can buy them again. Unfortunately, the reviews confirmed that they were selling the soggy flakes version.

Most cereals are too sweet for me. For example, I can stand Honey Bunches of Oats (6g sugar per serving), but I couldn't eat the Walmart variety (8g sugar per serving) because it was too sweet.
This means I either eat something like corn flakes (3g sugar per serving) that is a one ingredient cereal, or I usually get something that's too sweet. Because of this I just have like 10 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats since that's the only "mixed" cereal I can stand.

worked on a CPG product. You would have base flavors . . and standards that would do well. Then you would introduce line extensions. The plan was a new line extension or two every year or two. You make a #@!ton just on stocking up all the walmarts.
Eventually people would try it. .whatever and the base would start taking back shelf space (or worse a competitor) so you launch a new line extension and retire the last one
And so the cycle goes

I imagine a lot of the discontinued ones are things like the Superman and Avengers cereals that were launched as tie-ins with the movies - they're really just generic sugar cereals with movie-specific box art, only intended to be in circulation for short time.

Ugh. Cereal is such a huge lie. Everyone markets their sugar as healthy but that's only accounting for either the fortified nutrition or including the nutrition in milk. Cereals should not be allowed to market another ingredient's nutrition. If you really just want a sugary snack, fine I like cereal once in a while but it's far from the healthiest breakfast option, really most marketed options are.

Very thoughtful analysis. Thanks for presenting something non-controversial and presenting it well to provide an actual discussion. Also, the visualizations follow good principles, which I appreciate in this sub.
You offer two possible explanations to the increasing variety of cereals, but I would offer a third. In your dataset, towards the end were short-tenured cereals like "Spongebob Squarepants" and "Ghostbusters". Did you consider promotional cereals and brands with a definitive "death date" as an explanation? I don't think anyone at Kellogg's thought "Cat in the Hat" cereal had a shelf-life outlasting a year of movie hype and promos.
