Ian wants to know if you were tiny enough to swim in a bowl of cereal, what kind of cereal would it be? We all agreed that a cylindrical cereal would be best, though there was some debate about the particular kind of cylindrical cereal. I think he settled on Cinnamon Cheerios.

Ian, I think I might choose Quaker Oat Squares, so that I could sit atop them like a raft, should I need a break from swimming. 🙂

Frosted Mini Wheats. For the mountain climbing experience. Don’t want to drown in the milk.

I was going to go with some sort of Frosted Flake-type cereal for the rafting reason. Definitely not Raisin Bran. The Raisins would look … weird all plumped up in the water.

King Vitamin, which you could use as an innertube but would be able to climb up on the ridges.

I would swim in plain cheerios. The Cheerios would be like inner tubes, for riding the waves.
Rice Krispies would be bad, like swimming in a non-newtonian fluid or quicksand, which I suspect would not be fun.

I’m with Elisa, although I was going to say Shreddies.

Cheerios. Definitely not something that would dissolve or turn the water chocolately. Ick.

Lucky Charms. There are marshmallow pillows to use as floats; there’s a variety of colors and shapes. It would be like a water amusement park.

Not to mention the noise. And definitely no oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, or other hot cereal.
I think I’d like Apple Jacks or Honey Nut Cheerios.

Froot loops, of course! It would be like a beautiful coral reef.

Grape Nuts, because it would be like swimming in edible gravel.

Cheerios wins for me. Fun to swim through/around and also innertube-like when you need a rest and just want to float and stare up at the spoon that could lift you out at any point (think “the claw” in Toy Story).

MH,
I think “edible” is overselling it.

I like Grape Nuts. It’s so different.

Did you guys know that there’s now a Churros breakfast cereal?

Our Texas HEBs also manufacture a cereal version of their “Wild Red” soda, which is their knock-off of “Big Red” soda. Here is photographic evidence:

I’m assuming that Wild Red cereal was the result of either a dare or a practical joke gone too far or evidence of at-work drug use.
