Alpha-Bits, or Honey-Nut Cornflakes?

alpha bits

Cream of Wheat maple, or Fruity Pebbles?

honey nut cornflakes
cream of wheat maple

(what ever happened to multi-grain cheerios anyway?... loved that stuff!)

Given that Lookout already gave the victory to AlphaBits, I am for the moment not going to call a foul on the play for cowhead's call of Cream of Wheat Maple as an attempt to pick two in a row ...

But man, what an upset! Fruity Pebbles lost to somehing as awful looking and tasting as cream of wheat maple??

Agreed! It looks like Cheerios will now have clear sailing through the North... but anything can happen!

Wheaties, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Wheaties

Rice Krispies, or Frosted Mini-Wheats?

Rice Krispies, hard to make marshmallow treats out of mini wheats.

While I'm thinking of it ... we should probably figure out how we're going to deal with the crucial semi final and final rounds here ... So much is at stake for all of these fine cereals that have worked and trained so hard all season ...

Not terribly well thought out proposal: Should the semis and finals be determined not by a single call of winner in the matchup, but through the means of a vote by PM? That way some of the dramatic tension of the real end of march madness will be sustained.

Voting should, though, include more than just a call for a particular cereal ... votes should come with justification. The ref (UT) makes the final determination as to whether an additional vote goes to a team for originality or humor or whatever ... the winner, as we all know, is not always the top seed. There are some amazing upsets that occur in sports.

To account for schedules and time zones, voting should remain open for at least 24 hrs ... do the semis one day, and the finals the next.

Oh, additional vote for originality, that is a heavy burden of responsibility. Maybe the automation should include a "sponsor" who runs the tournament and makes that decision.

Cap'n Crunch CrunchBerries or Shredded Wheat?

me likes the Cap'n

Rice Chex, or Corn Pops?

How can you like Crunchberries? They are a spin-off. They are the Joanie Loves Chachi of the cereal world. Shredded Wheat is an original, baby.

In other interesting matchups, the New England Patriots are set to take on the University of North Minnetonka in what figgers to be a classic battle ...or something.http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/wink.gif

Rice Chex!

so you are saying that you didn't like Joanie Loves Chachi? Does that mean you didn't like Melrose Place, Laverne and Shirley, and now Joey???

Froot Loops, or Kellogg's All-Bran?

I know what I should say, cuz it's better for yah, but baby, I loves Toucan Sam and the Froot Loops.

Apple Jacks, or Mini Shredded Wheat?

apple jacks

Ralston, or Total? (after this answer I'll break a while to let the nighttime (us) people back in)

Total!

Here's where we stand so far.

I'm nervous for my Wheaties. Rice Crispies is going to be thier first real challange. It's obvious to me who should win, but you never know what Fate has in store. Come on Wheaties, you can do it! Three little elves can't hold a wooden spoon to the scores of world-class atheletes that have represented you.

Go Wheaties!

Can you make treats out of marshmallows and Wheaties? I don't think so.... you're going' down! :thumbsdn:

Oh man! I nominated Lucky Charms and yet I voted for Quisp over Crispix. What a quagmire! :(

How the hell is one to vote on this?

You have to be the first one to answer when UT asks which of two should win. Just watch this thread.

Oh man! I nominated Lucky Charms and yet I voted for Quisp over Crispix. What a quagmire!

You reap what you sow! I was devastated to see my beloved Crispix knocked out in the first round. I already fired the coach.

And my oatmeal, which was gaining a following was up against the heavily favored Cheerios.

I heard the referees were bought Kat. No way does steel cut fall to ground and toasted... no way. :(

So, who wants bacon butties?

Frosted bacon butties?

Quisp, or Lucky Charms?

Quisp

Frosted Flakes, or Grape-Nuts?

frosted flakes, if you please

Count Chocula, or Cap'n Crunch?

Count Chocula!

but only because it's regular cap'n crunch and not crunch BERRIES, which are far superior.

Cinnamon Life, or Corn Flakes?

Cinnamon Life!

Honey Nut Chex, or Raisin Bran?

This game's goin' into overtime! Oh my gods the excitement in the crowd!!! We've never seen anything like this in the world of competitive cereal before!

(what can I say? I dislike both equally.)

Raisin Bran.

I've decided to make it my new favorite, and have "spoken" to the ref.

The second round is done.

Cheerios, or Life?

Cheerios!

Alpha-Bits, or Cream of Wheat maple?

Alpha-Bits

Pretty much anything is cooler that flavored gruel. But I really do love Alpha-Bits.

Damn, that's a toughie.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Alpha-Bits are faster and, therefore, score higher on the "instant-gratification" scale. Gotta go with Alpha-Bits. Nutritional comparisons are not valid since its all about taste so I conveniently overlook Cream of Wheat's obvious life-extending benefits.

More Alpha-Bits, please!

Well that validates the result.

Big game here: Wheaties, or Rice Krispies?

Wheaties

that's a toughie, the crowd is going wild for alpha-bits (and! you get to brush up on your words at the same time!) although I gotta go with cream-o-wheat (hell! maple or anyother variety!) as the win in the end last second three point shot underdog!

well alpha-bits and cheerios huh? my money is on cheerios! I mean they are cheery and all!

Wheaties.

Cap'n Crunch CrunchBerries, or Rice Chex?

Froot Loops, or Apple Jacks?
