They’re not all cheery, yo

8. Maple Cheerios
You may not be able to blame Canada for this ill-conceived attempt to turn syrup into cereal — but that won’t stop us from trying!
7. Cheerios (original flavor)
You’d think these would taste better than you remember, but nope. They’re still like munching on crumbly chalk. Babies only like them because they are completely bland and flavorless. Go season some food, babies.
6. Chocolate Cheerios
Only a slight step up from the kinds of sugar-coated cereals you usually prefer to Cheerios. They won’t make you go cuckoo, but the low-key chocolate flavor hits a nice note.
5. Oat Crunch Cinnamon
This falls into the category of semi-Cheerios, in which General Mills adds more universally enjoyable ingredients — nuts, flakes, etc. — to make something that is not completely Cheerios. (See also: Honey Nut Medley Crunch.) Here, more is more, although purists might not care for all the extra crackle.
