I was fed mostly porridge 6 days a week ... sourdough pancakes on Sundays. I think Cheerios may have crept into the pantry by the time I was a teenager. My older sons grew up with only Cheerios, Cornflakes and Rice Krispies as their breakfast choices - though I did serve eggs and other stuff like waffles on weekends. My daughter, a few years younger than the boys, had much more choice when it came to cereal but I really tried to limit her access to the high sugar ones (which was difficult with all the tv ads that were emerging on every kids program back then). So that takes us from the early 1950s to the late 1990s, from hot to cold and from bowl to cardboard lined with waxed paper (daughter loved those but I don't think they were around when the boys were little).
