Every morning I have a bowl of cereal. It requires no skill or time to make and can be filling if you choose the right cereal. In this blog, I am going to be making a breakfast cereal tier list. The rankings are from S to F tier. S being the best of the best and F being the worst thing you could put in your mouth. Now just to preface this is just my opinion and should be taken as just that. But if you do disagree with me. You’re wrong. How dare you question a cereal connoisseur just like myself. Anyway, here it goes.

Cereal 1: Cookie Crisp
Who doesn’t love stale cookies in the morning? Cookie Crisp is the kind of cereal that I would crave when I was in middle school and only wanted because I could have cookies in the morning. But these aren’t even meant to be cookies. They are just regular cereal discs with splotches of bad chocolate. Cookie Crisp is bad but it’s not terrible. I give it a B tier.

Cereal 2: Special K
I haven’t actually just had Special K. I’ve had Chocolate Special K which just adds tiny pieces of dark chocolate into the mix, so this won’t be the most accurate rating. From my experience, Special K is just a sweeter Corn Flakes. Average at best and nothing special. I give it a C tier.

Cereal 3: Corn Flakes
Speaking of Corn Flakes. These are just a classic. Nothing special, but nothing wrong. They have almost no flavor which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. They can be a base for making a better overall cereal. Add some sweetness by using some chocolate, sugar, or fruit. There are a lot of possibilities that make it get the rank it does. I give a B tier.

Cereal 4: Apple Jacks
This is one of my personal favorites. The mix of apple and cinnamon, but mostly cinnamon, provides an amazing flavor while still staying relatively low in sugar content. Not to mention the mascots are great. A talking, Jamaican cinnamon stick is honestly a great representation of the flavors. I give this an A tier.

Cereal 5: Count Chocula
I don’t know if it’s because this is a seasonal cereal or if it’s just good, but I always want this cereal. The chocolate flavoring is fine, not great, but it makes up for it in the marshmallows. The marshmallows are better than the ones in cereals like lucky charms and don’t get overly soggy. Also the chocolate milk afterward always makes the experience end on a high note. I think this gets a well-deserved A tier.

Cereal 6: Cap’n Crunch
If you don’t want to be addicted, stay away from this cereal. With enough sugar to last for two days, this cereal is one of the best out there. The flavor is great and always leaves me wanting another bowl if not three. There’s not much more to say than this cereal is just great. I highly recommend it if you haven’t had a bowl already. This gets the prestigious S tier.

Cereal 7: Chex
Now this one says Rice Chex, but I am going to be rating Chex cereal as a whole because I have never had Rice Chex. Chex has a few flavors and they definitely range in how good they are. My favorite is Chocolate Chex, but the majority of Chex cereal is just ok. Nothing special, kind of like Corn Flakes or Special K. But because they all have a flavor there isn’t the same customization that can be had with Corn Flakes. This gets an appropriate C tier.

Cereal 8: Rice Krispie
Rice Krispie is just the blandest cereal ever. It tastes and feels like cardboard in your mouth. Not to mention the Pop. Snapple, Crack effect that happens when eating it. It’s just disgusting and uncomfortable. This is a cereal best enjoyed dry, with frosting, and in bar form. Or rather a Rice Krispie treat. This should not be a cereal in the modern age. This gets an F tier.

Cereal 9: Cinnamon Toast Crunch
There’s a reason that there are so many knock-offs of this iconic cereal. They just got the formula right. The cinnamon and sugar coat your tongue in a blanket of deliciousness, and the effect on the milk afterward makes it all the better. The only problem is that they don’t hold well when soggy. For that reason, I can’t give them an S tier and will give them an A tier.

Cereal 10: Frosted Mini Wheats
This is one of the healthiest cereals on this list for you. With plenty of protein and fiber and a relatively low amount of sugar compared to other cereals. The overall taste is great. The frosting adds flavor to the somewhat tasteless body of the cereal. This is a good overall cereal in flavor and healthiness. I give this an A tier.

Cereal 11: Trix
Trix should be a very promising cereal. But with a promising fruity taste, that just isn’t there Trix falls well below the mark. The flavor is bland and uneventful. There’s no reason to choose this over any other cereal. This gets an unexciting D tier.

Cereal 12: Reese’s Puffs
Chocolate and Peanut butter is one the best combinations humanity has come up with. The savory, creaminess of peanut butter blends well with the sweet, distinct taste of chocolate. And Reese’s did just that when making Reese’s Puffs. The flavors are good and do taste like peanut butter, although the chocolate is somewhat faint. Otherwise, the flavor is great and the milk afterward holds the same flavor. The overall experience is just great. This gets an S tier.

Cereal 13: Raisin Bran
No cereal should have raisins and that’s all I am going to say about that. F tier.

So that will conclude the cereal tier list. I hope you understand where my ratings are coming from and I would love to hear what you think about this. If you haven’t tried one of the cereals in the A or S tier I would highly recommend them. They all taste great and should be tried at least once.
