It’s a simple question, which cereal would be on your Mt. Rushmore of cereals? Meaning, which 4 cereals would you etch into the side of a mountain for the world to see for the rest of eternity?

Of course, there are levels to this thing. It’s never a cut and dry answer because there are a vast amount of cereals out there that are delicious and terrible. Let’s go through the different levels and find out which cereals make it and which ones are better left getting soggy in your milk.

LEVEL 4: DON’T EVEN OPEN THE BOX

These are the cereals that you’d rather open the box from Seven with Gwenyth Paltrow’s head than open these cereals.

— Kashi

— Raisin Bran

— Corn Flakes

— Any healthy or vegan cereal

Corn Flakes are terrible and awful and should never ever be served to anyone under 70.

LEVEL 3: OVERRATED, BUT NOT BAD

— Oreo O’s

— Honey Comb

— Any Rice Krispy Cereal

— Cookie Crisp

— Halloween Themed Cereal

— Corn Pops

— Reese’s Puffs

— Waffle Crisp

— Fruit Loops

— Trix

— Lucky Charms

— Cocoa Puffs

Cookie Crisp is something you absolutely think would be good but it’s just OKAY. The cereals in this level aren’t terrible by any means, they’re actually quite good. But they tasted a lot better as a kid than they do as an adult.

LEVEL 2: GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT

— Apple Jacks

— Cheerios

— Krave

— Cocoa Pebbles

— Every Variation of Captain Crunch

— Kix (Berry)

Krave is a newer cereal which you wouldn’t think would be able to vault it’s way up the rankings, but it did. There’s something magical about biting into a chocolate Krave and there actually being a decent amount of chocolate inside. Also, Trix makes this level if they didn’t change their shapes.

LEVEL 1: MT. RUSHMORE

Angels play trumpet.

— Frosted Flakes

— Fruity Pebbles

— Honey Smacks

— French Toast Crunch

French Toast Crunch is probably the biggest upset on the list, considering some people don’t like it. But, I do. I actually fucking love it. Fruity Pebbles are obviously a GOAT cereal and Frosted Flakes are what Corn Flakes wish they could be. Shout out Dig Em and Honey Smacks. You both have come through time and time again.

This is the Mt. Rushmore of cereal, and I’ll surround the mountain with an army to keep people from trying to change it.
