The Best Breakfast Cereals, Debated and Ranked
Picking the best breakfast cereals is a personal-injury-level debate, and Dex and Chris are not playing nice — top ten, ranked, with milk in hand and Saturday-morning energy fully engaged.
Cereal opinions are weirdly tied to who you were as a kid, which is why this list gets personal fast. You’ll either nod along or start composing your rebuttal in real time, and the brothers absolutely refuse to let any of it drop.
The full ranking
- Raisin Bran at 10, Lucky Charms at 9 with the puzzle on the back nobody could ever solve, Golden Crisp glistening at 8.
- Cocoa Pebbles, Rice Krispies Treats Cereal, Golden Grahams (which don’t hold up to milk), and the obligatory Honeycomb shoutout in the middle.
- Cap’n Crunch at 5, Cinnamon Toast Crunch at 3, and Oreo O’s somewhere up top — plus a tangent about peanut butter Cap’n Crunch eaters having social-anxiety issues.
Just under seven minutes of cereal politics, and the brothers are even tasting a new Post cereal called Good Morning during the bit.
