16/20 but only because my husband is a cereal fiend who eats pretty much all of those cereals. I prefer to stick with the Rice Chex, Special K, Corn Flakes, Cherrios route.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Around the World in 80 Dinners'

Paris: I got a stomach bug in Paris while on my honeymoon and ate 1 apple and 1 salad during the entire 3 days, and I was most excited to eat in Paris!

Thailand: I love Thai food, and want nothing more than to try authentic Thai food.

Chile: My mom was born there so I grew up eating her Chilean concoctions and would love to eat the authentic stuff.

19/20/ I mistook a Corn Flake for a Post Toastie. D'uh!

Ahh...Cracklin' Oat Bran! Best tasting cereal most easily confused with Purina Cat Chow.

17/20. And I'm hopelessly devoted to Rice Krispies.

15/20! I would have FAILED a year ago, but the craptasticness of my college dining hall has me well-versed in cereals by now. :)

I did the other quizzes, too. I completely bombed on the ice cream treat and candy quizzes. That can only mean one thing: I need to make friends with the ice cream man and eat more candy. LOL

15/20 after I second-guessed myself on a couple. You should always go with your first instinct! Oh man, why'd you show this to me? They have other ones for pasta, ice cream, ...

@feistyfoodie...I tend to like the less sugary cereals (even when I was a kid) and like you, didn't try frosted mini wheats until about a year ago. I still prefer the unfrosted variety though. And along with the higher price on cereal, have you noticed the incredible shrinking boxes?

I got 14, and was surprised... though one of them I wsn't paying attention. I've been really into Trader Joe's Yogurt-O's (strawberry) even though they raised the price like almost a whole $1 in the 2 months since I started eating it. Grrr. (From 1.99 to 2.79 a box... wtf? Actually last time I went I think it was 3.49... ridiculous) I LOVE raisin bran crunch, and I recently - unbelievable, I know - had frosted mini wheats for the first time. Why do they get soft so quickly though?

18/20, a true testament to the power of advertising, I've never had about half of these cereals.

@holdthemayo: I was thinking the same thing re: Seinfeld.

@thistlerk: I discovered Cracklin' Oat Bran at the cereal station in the dorms at college. Used to love that array of hamster-feeder bins—and the weird milk machine we had. Both probably long gone in the reno they did to my old dorm.
