0:29
with the general public's list. So Mikayla, what is your number five
0:33
favorite breakfast cereal of all time? My number five favorite breakfast cereal of all time
0:36
is Ranker's number 26, which is Life Cereal. Life. Gives you life
0:41
Let's get a bite of this life. I think Life is like a very hearty breakfast cereal
0:48
Because you know how the whole sugar cereals don't really fill you up? It's kind of true
0:52
But this is the one that's like, OK, I'm full. I'm ready to take on the day. I'd eat this for lunch
0:56
You do have the ability to put fruit on it and like, you put strawberries, bananas, blueberries
1:01
whatever it is, and it's kind of a new cereal, and it's even better for you
1:05
And this is the cereal that gives you the illusion that you're eating healthy. Yes
1:10
Life cereal I had, I think, every day for like six years
1:13
until I was like 10, and then my parents let me get like, junk cereal
1:17
Okay, so my number five is Ranker's number seven, the Cap'n, Cap'n Crunch
1:24
It might be my number one favorite flavor of cereal. The only reason why you have to dock it is because if you eat a full box of Cap'n Crunch in one sitting
1:34
Which I could Which I absolutely couldn't have You learn the lesson of your mouth just gets cut up
1:39
I do like to let my cereal get a little bit soggy for that reason I kind of drown it with my spoon a little bit
1:44
I kind of just push it down Yeah But it's oh it's so good It's just such a like
1:48
It's so sweet but it's not too sweet like some other cereals where you're like Jesus
1:53
This is the definition of I could eat this by the box ball Yeah But you can't
1:57
But you can't. Even if you let it soak the whole time, it's going to cut your mouth. And your mom will yell at you Yeah We just got this box of Captain Crunch And you say sorry sorry mom This is Cap My number four is actually Ranker number 25 which is Cookie Crisp Cookie Crisp
2:12
You have to say it like that. I know. Cookie Crisp. This to me is the definition of sugar cereal
2:20
when you're a kid. And it's like, your mom doesn't really let you buy the cereal all the time
2:24
This is not constantly in the house. You wonder if Cookie Crisp was designed
2:29
This is a serial conspiracy, a conspiracy. I wonder if Cookie Crisp was designed by the people
2:35
who make like Cap'n Crunch and, you know, Trix and stuff as like, hey
2:40
we'll actually sell more Cap'n Crunch and Trix because in, but in comparison
2:44
It is the, it's the compromise. Yeah, it's not literally cookies, which is actually why in my opinion
2:50
I was extremely let down by Cookie Crisp all throughout my life
2:54
All I know is when I was like six and this came out, I wasn't allowed to have it for years
2:58
because they're literally cookies. When I finally did have it, I was like, this
3:02
It's so good. This is what I've been jonesing for for the last 40% of my life
3:07
I don't approve of your number four. Anyways, I love Cookie Crisp
3:11
Cookie Crisp. Okay, so my number four is rankers number 45, Frosted Cheerios
3:19
What I find interesting about Frosted Cheerios is this is like the ugly stepchild of the Cheerios family
3:26
where like Honey Nut and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and just straight up regular Cheerios
3:31
Everybody's like, oh, I love those. I've talked to people before who haven't heard of Frosted Cheerios
3:34
I think I prefer Frosted Cheerios to most Cheerios, but I'm not a Cheerio gal
3:38
It's kind of boring to me. It feels like what you give to babies
3:42
when they're like starting to eat salad food. It's a simple cereal. They tell you what the flavor is
3:46
It's sugar. It's Cheerios, but with a bunch of sugar on it. Because that's what people did to regular Cheerios
3:51
They just put sugar on it, and they're like, what if we put it, what if we did it? All right, so my number three is actually rankers number one
3:57
Cinnamon Toast Crunch. C.T. Crunch. Crave those crazy squares. This is the collective people's favorite
4:06
and it a damn good cereal I have to say I think this cereal also a little bit overrated What What Hold up I like Cinnamon Toast Crunch It does not deserve the hands number one title I just I don think this is better than Cap Crunch
4:19
You have to admit, though, they're really pretty. Like, each of them has, like, a good, like, cinnamon-y, sugary design
4:25
You know they're all unique? Like snowflakes. Okay, so my number three is Ranker's number 19, Raisin Bran
4:33
This is shocking, I imagine, to a lot of people. So, why raisin bran is my number three
4:37
Raisins are, to me, a weirdly gross food. But then I remembered, what are raisins but grapes
4:46
They start off as grapes, then they turn into the raisins doing some sort of scientific process
4:50
But I love grapes! I do too, I love grapes. Grapes are fantastic
4:55
Raisins are weird! Raisins are grapes! What I love about raisin bran is it tastes really good and you feel really good about yourself when you eat it
5:02
When I eat raisin bran, I'm like, wow, I am a really good person
5:07
They should rename this cereal to Raisin Bland. There's no sweetness. There is absolutely sweetness
5:13
It's covered in sugar and the natural sugar you get from raisins
5:17
It's bland. It's not. It's delicious. It's my number three. I don't like it
5:21
All right, so my number two is Ranker's number eight, Captain Crunch Berries
5:25
You know, the goods. I'm a big fan of Captain Crunch, but something about these little berries really added extra pizzazz
5:32
They actually do have different flavors. Yes. It is a different cereal
5:36
You know what? Actually, I would just like to take a moment to appreciate Captain Crunch as a whole
5:40
They don't miss. We have regular Captain Crunch, fantastic. Captain Crunch Crunch Berries, fantastic
5:46
Peanut butter, also amazing. I kind of forgot about that one. That one is super, super good
5:51
And then just the oops all berries. I feel like they just keep making hits, hits only
5:55
This cereal is just, ugh, can make a sad girl very happy
6:00
Okay, so my number two is Ranker's number 26 and your number five, Life Cereal
6:08
Okay, I respect it. Basically the only fun cereal I was allowed to eat as a kid
6:13
Meanwhile what I love so much about that is this is just covered in sugar There so much sugar on Life Cereal Yeah there so much sugar on Life Cereal I think it almost like underrated because when you think of like oh what are the best cereals
6:24
It's like people don't think about life. As an adult, I really, really appreciate the Life Cereals
6:29
The one reason why it's not number one for me though, they used to always have like a smiling kid on the cover
6:37
And they would change the kid all the time. And I really enjoyed that because I would be like seven years old
6:42
And I'd be like you and me both pal. We're both enjoying this cereal. So my number one is rankers number 12
6:48
Honey bunches of oats Mm-hmm. I actually like that. Yeah, it's good. I do love me some honey bunches of oats
6:55
There's so many different things happening in a bowl of honey bunches of oats. It looks healthy
7:00
And it's another it looks healthy. It's as a kid I did not eat it because I was like it looks too healthy that looks like an adult cereal
7:07
I don't want it. And then once I think I hit probably like, I think like 11 or something, I finally ate a bowl
7:13
and I was like, this is the best thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life. This is a very high density cereal
7:18
Very, yeah. There's lots going on. And again, it makes me feel like, oh, I had a great breakfast
7:22
How you feel about Honey Bunch of the Oats is exactly how I felt about Raisin Bran
7:26
the first time I had it. My entire life, I was like, I don't want that. That's for like, that's for like moms and dads
7:31
And then I had Raisin Bran, I was like, this is delightful. Yeah, this is absolutely delightful
7:35
Because I'm always like, oh, I was always a big Captain Crunch fan or whatever. But then I'm also like, as an adult
7:39
like as a full grown human, I will, I'll eat this every day
7:45
So my number one is Ranker's number six, Fruity Pebbles, Barney! Barney my pebbles
7:53
I love the taste of Fruity Pebbles so much. This is a cereal too where it's like
7:58
I don't like when it's completely soaked in milk and gets soggy, but it gets really good towards the bottom
8:04
with the ones who have been sitting in the milk for a minute or two. What flavor is Fruity Pebbles
8:09
Does this taste like fruit? Not really. No. Kind of sugar? It tastes like sugar, which surprise, surprise
8:14
is what every cereal really tastes like. It's one that it's definitely when you're a kid
8:19
you're like, when I'm an adult, I'm gonna only eat Fruity Pebbles every day
8:23
And there are some days where I do
