You ever notice in the supermarket cereal section there are maybe more chocolate cereals now than there used to be? You have cereals such as:

... and , of course, these cereals have little nutritional value.  The fibre (sorry, that would be fiber) content is almost non-existent. You may as well just directly eat several spoons of sugar and wash it down with some milk.


Having said that my favourite (that would be favorite) is Coco Pops.

cocoa pops or cocoa puffs?


The whole point of eating chocolate cereal is so you get a giant bowl of chocolate milk at the end....  no one turns to chocolate cereal because that's where they think they will get their daily allotment of protein and calcium  :D

That's what I love about chocolate cereal, the chocolate milk you can drink at the end.

They now serve a chocolate cereal called Krave, which sounds tempting, but is probably not a great idea.

I never knew that cereals like Chocolate Honey-Comb, Chocolate Frosted Flakes and Chocolate Trix actually exist. It just seems like Americans don't get that much stuff from other countries, even though we kinda modernized freedom of speech, for christ's sakes. So gives us that cereals.
