The thread on TV shows was so underwhelming I just had to try again. So break out that little kid inside and tell us where you fall on the list. As for me, I'm waaay down at #97. And, oh yeah, #1 just can NOT be #1. I mean, really? The best cereals of all time, ranked - Vox
I've never heard of Quisp. For pure, unashamed, pleasure, my favorite cereal is Boo Berry. I hardly ever eat it, though, as I generally try to be healthy. Not that I don't eat sweets at all, it's just that I control my sweet tooth by buying small amounts at a time, but a box of cereal is over a dozen servings of chronic disease. I also really like Multigrain Cheerios- for it's taste, not for it's healthy-sounding name. On the healthy-ish end, I really enjoy Grape Nuts, especially with almond milk.
I haven't heard of Quisp either. Me? All-Bran. Nothing else. Not on the list, for some reason. Don't care. Simply the best, so it'll do. I was in a Polish store a while ago and bought a substitute called "Blonnik." I grabbed it because I was pretty sure that simply meant "fibre" in Polish. It does. Had the right texture, ho-hum taste, though. J.
Well, my cereal, All-Bran, wasn't on the survey. My favourite TV program, Desperate Housewives, wasn't on the survey, either. What to do? Guess I'll sit here, munch my All-Bran, watch my Desperate Housewives DVD's --- and take breaks - lots of breaks. :smile: J.
True. That - and our climate - keep us alive. Often, as in my case, 'way past our due dates! :smile: J.
My goodness. My first advertising job in New York in 1965 was as a junior account executive at PKL for Quisp and Quake account. They were in fact identical in ingredients and taste, but a different shape and, of course, different slogans: Quisp was “The quisp new cereal from outer space!” and Quake was “The power cereal from inner space!” A lot of grown men and women spent a lot of time and energy fretting about this stuff.
For years, mine was the thing called Sugar Corn Pops, also called Corn Pops, Sugar Pops, and Pops. One of the very few that came in a foil bag. Here's an interesting thing I didn't know, from Wikipedia: The American version [or corn pops] has a flattened, smooth, bumpy shape; Canadian Corn Pops look very different; they are spherical and have a porous surface, similar to Kix cereal. The taste and texture of the Canadian and American versions of the cereal differ considerably despite sharing the same name and manufacturer. Kellogg's says this is due to raw ingredients and the regulatory agencies that exist in a particular country, and that its cereal differs by country also by virtue of marketing and culture. Research is done in different countries to determine preferences, and the formula for the cereal is changed accordingly, affecting the texture, color, and nutrition. The fat, cholesterol, and protein content is the same.
