We have cereal dispensaries and take out at my college cafeteria, so I've taken advantage and tried a lot of shit, but this ranking isn't exclusive to my choices there.

Top Tier:
Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and variations, Frosted Mini Wheat and variations, Honey Bunches of Oats, Raisin Bran Crunch, Honey Combs.

Good Tier:
Cocoa Pebbles, Fruity Pebbles, OreO's, Cracklin' Oat Bran, Captain Crunch & variations, Golden Crisp, Golden Grahams, Captain Crunch + variations, most variations of Life Cereal.

Meh to Decent Tier:
Honey Nut Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Apple Jacks, Cookie Crisp, Froot Loops, Trix, Smorz, Cocoa Puffs, Reese's Puffs, rest of Raisin Bran, like one or two Special K variations, Kix.

Bad Tier:
Special K plain + most variations, plain Cheerios and most variations of them, plain Life Cereal, Lucky Charms (but I'm bias because I hate how the marshmallows feel against my teeth), five year old Star Trek reboot branded cereal.

My Guilty Pleasures:
Grape Nuts and Shredded Wheat are surprisingly delicious.

Frosted Flakes and Honey Combs are classic and taste fantastic. The Pebbles group shifts between decent and good depending on the mood. Golden Grahams are also just a generally good cereal, just like I can trust Frosted Flakes to always be great (excuse the pun).

Special K and Cheerios really aren't that good though. Most of the variations taste cheaply made. K tastes like a half-baked attempt at flavored Corn Flakes and Cheerios in almost all forms remind me of eating a bowl of plain oatmeal made with water. If you put sugar or fruit on it, and sure, those cereals bump up to decent at best, but I'd rather spend my time on cereals that don't need addition.

You've said this before, and when I brought up the fact that Special K and Cheerios at least seem to have less sugar than other cereals, you never responded. M3GA MAN's taste in cereal seems to indicate that they'd prefer to just dump a bunch of Kool-Aid packets in their mouth all at once, but I think there was some logic to what they were saying when they indicated that most cereals that necessitate additional sugar aren't very good. You can't seriously tell me that plan Bran Flakes is something you look forward to eating.

I try to avoid cereal as is, because most of it is processed, sugary bullshit as Woodzy has said. I'm just rating it based purely on how they taste to me, but I will be the first to admit that I haven't had a few of these cereals in years. My predisposition toward sweeter cereals is probably due, in part, to the fact that I have eaten so many Cheerios in my life-time that most just taste like bland, mushy cardboard. Also haven't eaten Special K for several years since my mother bought them when I still lived with my 'rents, so taste may have changed.
