Unpopular opinion: I pick the cheaper cereal even if it has more sugar.
The price difference lets me buy extra fruit to balance it out. Honestly, my budget wins this fight every time.

Tried the healthy kind once by accident and it felt like a punishment. The box looked close enough but my whole morning was off without that sugar dust at the bottom.

My mom always bought the super sweet generic stuff when I was a kid, so that's just what cereal tastes like to me now. The fancy healthy kinds feel like they're missing the point, even if I know that's backwards. That fake strawberry powder dust is pure nostalgia, you know? I can't even enjoy a bowl without it.

Seriously, you nailed it. That sweet generic stuff sets the standard for cereal. The healthy kinds feel empty because they skip the nostalgia. That fake powder dust? It's not just sugar, it's a memory trigger. My brain connects cereal with that specific sweet hit. Even knowing it's backwards, I can't enjoy the fancy stuff.
