    Funny thing is P13, had an aunt in Florida who went through the Great Depression and she always kept that many boxes of cereal around her home.

    My wife does the same thing. Our grocery bills are practically non-existent now. More money to do other things. She does her damage at Harris Teeter with the doubling and sometimes tripling of coupons.

    But yes, we have a ton of cereal. Not quite 51 (we have no kids) but I'd say about 20 boxes.

    The real question is... what kind of cereal?

    Not sure about Paul. But I've got Honey Bunches of Oats, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and some type of Kashi cereal.

    I have begun to mix Reeses cereal with Cookie Crisp. It is now known as "crack" in my house.

    I don't know why you don't hear about cereal mixing more.

    I also don't know why cereal isn't called breakfast soup, but that's another topic.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese's Puffs, Frosted Mini Wheats, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Rice Krispy Treats (the treats part) cereal top my power rankings.

    Years ago, I used to work nights with Jamaicans who cut sugar cane for 12 hours during the day. Their breakfast?

    Bowl of cornflakes, with Guinness and honey instead of milk.

    Man's game.

    Daughter's favorite is Fruit Loops. My son seems to like a lot of different things... sometimes Rice Krispies, sometimes Corn Flakes, Cheerios... Wifey was able to rack up the boxes using Kellogg coupons. I don't know the full details. But she says she spent less than a $1 per box.

    Honey Bunches of Oats is probably my favorite. Of course, we don't have one friggin box of that at the moment. 6 boxes of Raisin Bran instead... yeah, like I need help in that department.

    Very solid. I love all those. I would give Peanut Butter Crunch an very honorable mention as well.

    I usually just eat whatever cereal David Garrard is eating. I used to like Frosted Flakes but he put an end to that quick.

    LOL @ breakfast soup.

    I just tried "Cinnabon Cereal" today... not quite sure how I feel. Started off awesome but didn't finish strong. Overall was "meh."

    Now Peanut Butter Cheerios on the other hand... damn, those are good.

    Although it's hard to find now, Count Chocula is amazing.

    Oh...and you should print out a ton of "Free BJ" coupons and hand them to your wife. That's what I would do.

    1) Frosted Flakes: Turn you into a F'ing tiger. Or rather bring out your inner. Epic win.
    2) Cinnamon Toast Crunch: Completely warp your senses so that you can SEE TASTE. What isn't to love?
    3) Fruity Pebbles: Taste great and teach us to accept diversity. Could give the top two cereals a run for their money if not for they tendency to get soggy very quickly.
