A lot of time when I go cereal shopping I get what might be known as "cereal anxiety" where I've got all those cereals lined up in a huge aisle and you just don't know what to get. I have a lot of favorite cereals but I'm often just looking for that cereal that I can spend the most special moments of my day with. Some cereals are better to eat when you're hungover or sometimes you might want a dessert cereal, like the cereal whose exact name escapes me but the the tagline is Reese's ... for Breakfast?!?!? But when I'm looking to jump-start my day with a thoughtful combination of crunch and sweetness Special K red berries is a go-to cereal. Even though the packaging is an abortion, assuring that it will never be the prettiest girl at the heady prom of the cereal aisle, Special K red berries is the kind of cereal that you can grow old with, spending each morning at the breakfast nook with just her and the Brainerd Daily Dispatch.
The classic Special K is the province of housemoms on weird diets and people who have sex without getting undressed with the lights off.
It's so bad they named a drug after it. But what exactly is it about those red berries? Why don't they just say "Special K with strawberries"? By themselves freeze-dried strawberries are not good at all. I have to congratulate the scientists at General Mills for taking two inedible products and making them into one eminently edible product.

Great Grains: Raisin, Date, and Pecan has been working great for me lately. I'm eating nearly a box every other day.
Also, what qualifies as 10.0 cereals? Count Chocula, maybe?

Life is one of the great unsung heros of the cereal world.
