detlef Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Not sure if you have Harris Teeter Grocery stores in your neck of the wood, but around here they're among the nicer chains if a step below the Whole Foods style places. At any rate, their house brand is typically pretty decent stuff. They also have a "Harris Teeter Naturals" line that is often organic and, again, certainly a cut above most house brands. I'm not a big cereal eater but my wife likes it, usually as a late night snack. So, she grabs a box of Harris Teeter Natural Multi Grain Flakes. As far as cereal goes, this is often the type that I like. Sort of Special K style (which is what it looked like from the box and it mentioned rice among the grains). Wow, I think they included gypsum in this stuff. Not only was it pasty white, it tasted just like the dust that you sometime get in your mouth when working with dry wall. Now, I was hardly expecting rapture in a bowl but jeebus! We were both completely amazed that this stuff made it past a tasting panel.

isleseeya Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 if cereal causes you to run to the bathroom and encounter an explosive display of your colon as soon as you finish a bowl, then there is a good chance its good for you but terribly tasting ( with some nasty side / after effects ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 if cereal causes you to run to the bathroom and encounter an explosive display of your colon as soon as you finish a bowl, then there is a good chance its good for you but terribly tasting ( with some nasty side / after effects ) I tried some new Kashi granola stuff this week that completely tore me up. It was either that cereal or some new fake butter crap I started eating the same day. The Kashi cinnamon shredded wheat is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 But is it good for you? I actually enjoy meusli which is basically raw oats with nuts and dried fruit. I can handle "good for you cereal". This was just nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I once tried something called "King Viatamin. I think it may have been a malt-o-meal product. I flippin dare you, triple dog dare you to try it. It is like Corn pops in canola oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldan21 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I once tried something called "King Vitamin. I think it may have been a malt-o-meal product. I flippin dare you, triple dog dare you to try it. It is like Corn pops in canola oil. I got fed that as a kid. I can't say it was my favorite, but it wasn't too bad either. IMO. -DD21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 King Vitamen was horrible. I distinctly remember the one time I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I once tried something called "King Viatamin. I think it may have been a malt-o-meal product. I flippin dare you, triple dog dare you to try it. It is like Corn pops in canola oil. NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare ya"? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare. Schwartz Polk created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!
