    1. Me too. Used to be a special treat because they were more expensive. My folks couldn't afford them too often. Too hard on old teeth now.

  3. I used to love this as a kid. Grape Nut Flakes didn't do it for me, however.

  4. Yum! Grape Nuts, big biscuit Shredded Wheat, and Raisin Bran were the only cereals we ever had at home. Grape Nuts are still excellent ... the flakes are not the same at all. Ditto with big biscuit Shredded Wheat, which I've been finding in stores again recently - was surprised they still make it.. It is so much better than the little spoon sized stuff.

  5. What a flashback! My grandfather ate the big shredded wheat squares in a bowl with warm water. Grape nuts was the only other “choice.” 1/2 cup of sugar and 15 minutes soaking in milk made them tolerable.

    1. 1/2 a cup of sugar!! That's a lot....
      My teeth won't do GrapeNuts any more, my gut is not happy an hour after milk. and I don't usually add sugar to anything unless it's required..
      Oatmeal with a banana in it is my favorite breakfast cereal these days.

  8. Nice little crunchy accent to add on top of freshly-cooked hot oatmeal with raisins.

  12. Yes, Grape nuts. Read the ingredients. Four simple ingredients, no sugar or anything artificial. Add some honey and you've got a breakfast that's almost as natural as old-fashioned Quaker Oats.

    And for those who say they're too hard, just let them soak in the milk for a few minutes. Problem solved.
