Raisin Bran always gives me shits but in a good and less traumatic way

Let's take Raisin Bran. A deceptive cereal. First, there's the question of two scoops of raisins, and what that means. Last time I checked, the American National Standards Institute hasn't issued a definitive statement on the volume of a "scoop."

Doubtless one could pick up a miniature scoop with a capacity of one raisin, so assuming these are whole raisins, all they're guaranteeing is that there are no fewer than two raisins in each box. Secondly, this comes across as a healthy cereal, when in fact those all-natural sun-poked juicy raisins are so coated in sugar that they look like larval pods from "Aliens: A Christmas Story." I once tried an all-natural raisin bran cereal, and it was pretty good once I poured a bunch of sugar on it.

Anyway, what are your favorites?

No doubt
