Cap'n Crunch. A classic cereal featuring one of the most iconic cereal mascots of all time. If it weren't for the Cap'n, who knows where Quaker would stand today in the oligopolistic cereal market against the big three (Kelloggs, Post and General Mills) especially when the next greatest line they have to offer is Life. With just over 50 years in command and no sign of going AWOL, Cap'n Crunch abides. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #CapnCrunch

It's hard to come by a good blueberry flavored cereal but this interesting twist on a personal favorite is one to be reckoned with. While the seasonally released Boo Berry may be the reigning champ of blueberry cereals, this variation of Frosted Mini Wheats certainly does a great job of filling the void we're left with 11 months of the year. A rich blueberry flavor paired with the conservative, trademark texture of Mini Wheats may seem risky to some, but when it's all said and done, Blueberry Frosted Mini Wheats is an excellent cereal. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #BlueberryFrostedMiniWheats

Whether you're looking for a healthier alternative to your favorite cocoa cereal (Puffs, Pebbles, Krispies, etc.) or a chocolatey way to lower your cholesterol, Cheerios has you covered with this variation of the world's most well known, heart healthy breakfast food. But don't let the nutrition facts fool you! As they may not be loaded with sugar or leave you with a bowl of chocolate milk once they're gone, these Chocolate Cheerios aren't lacking in flavor by any means. General Mills proves two things with this gem: you can never go wrong with chocolate and you can never go wrong with Cheerios. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #ChocolateCheerios

Say what you will but when it comes down to it, every now and then I enjoy a bowl of every menopause victim's favorite cereal. Since its introduction, Kelloggs' Special K line has proven to be a success in the cereal market, luring the weight conscious, middle-aged women towards cereal: a breakfast food that is usually reserved for children. The Red Berries variety is potentially the flagship cereal of the line, featuring real strawberries in addition to the crunchy (but not too crunchy) rice and wheat flakes that carried the line to where it is today. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #SpecialKRedBerries

Donald Glover (@ChildishGambino) said it best when he described Kix as being "pretty good, but you know what I really want." I agree that the original Kix is pretty good, but this honey variant takes it up a notch and to complete Donald's analogy (youtube.com/watch?v=Oj7j4pSANfE), while Kix is second base, Honey Kix isn't an attempt at an in the park home run. It's more like sliding safely to third: risky but not too risky. It retains the conservative nature of the original but takes it a touch further and nails it by being sweet enough and healthy enough. Kid-tested, mother-approved indeed. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #HoneyKix

Chocolate and marshmallows. The dynamic duo of sugary cereals. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that the marshmallows were far better than the actual cereal part of the original Lucky Charms. However, this chocolate variation has the underdog rapidly closing in on the favorite with a chocolatey flavor comparable to that of Cocoa Puffs. After several failed attempts of trying to find a box of Count Chocula last October, Lucky the Leprechaun comes in clutch, pulling through where my favorite vampire fell short. While I'm still partial to the Count's chocolate and marshmallow concoction, these Chocolate Lucky Charms fill a void that I thought would exist until monster season. Big thank you to Lucky and the team at General Mills for bringing us this masterpiece. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #ChocolateLuckyCharms

In honor of #NationalCerealDay this is my all time favorite cereal. I'm a huge fan of Post's pebbles line so any new variety they add to it is a must buy. I've never been disappointed with any new types of pebbles but none can replace the one that started it all. Whether it's the distinct pebbles texture or the unique bright colors that set this one apart from others, I think the best part about Fruity Pebbles is the intriguing fruity flavor. The taste that Fruity Pebbles possesses may have seemed risky at first but after over 40 years in the making, it has proven timeless. Happy #CerealDay everyone! Shout out to Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Pebbles, Bam Bam and the rest of the gang for this one. Also shout out to the captain of #TeamFruity, John Cena (@JohnCena). #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #FruityPebbles

I remember being a young boy. My Saturday mornings consisted of hardly anything other than a bowl of cereal, cartoons and video games. Upon entering adolescence, the cartoons may have turned to sitcoms and video games were replaced by hours spent on the internet upon, but cereal was the one thing which remained constant throughout. However, there was one cereal that became absent as I got older. Fast forward to March of 2014. Netflix has just added the first season of Pokémon to their unparalleled streaming service's roster, so naturally I've been watching it and it reminds me of the good old days when 151 Pokémon was more than plenty. And 20 years after its initial release, I still possess the ability to make anyone's life a living hell in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo on Super Nintendo. Lo and behold, as if it was waiting all this time to reappear, I have finally been able to come across a box of the beloved Rice Krispies Treats cereal. It still has all the light clumpy sweetness that I remember from my childhood and though the box has now changed colors from teal to purple, I'm delighted to have this astounding cereal in my possession once again. #CerealOfTheDay #COTD #CerealMonth #RiceKrispiesTreats #RiceKrispiesTreatsCereal
