What Cereal Are You?
Julie Icon

You Are Fruit Loops


You’re very fun loving and easily bored.
You need everything in your life to be over the top.

You are definitely attracted to shiny and colorful objects.
If kids love something, you tend to love it as well.

You a very short attention span and are easily distracted.
You are likely to eat something very random for breakfast… or forget to eat it at all.

I love these silly quizzes, especially when I’m close to finishing the copy edits I’ve been working on for three solid days, LOLOL!

Honestly, though…you guys know me pretty well now. You know I love cartoons and coloring with crayons and going to see movies by Pixar. My favorite place in the universe is Disney World and I’m just as likely to know all the characters on Spongebob Squarepants as my daughter is. I love toys and video games and sweet, sugary things that are bad for me.

I’m a kid in adult clothing.

Not all the time. I can be very sophisticated. I love fine food and theater and classic literature.

But sometimes, a girl just wants to have fun!

So honestly, this quiz is right up my alley. I love cereal. Love, love. My daughter eats healthier cereals than I do, though I will admit I love granola, especially toasted with a bit of honey, vanilla yogurt and fresh berries, a combination I got hooked on when the Plotmonkeys stayed at the Bellagio in Las Vegas a few years ago and I had it for breakfast several times. Yum!

But most of the time, I’m just a Fruit Loop. I love Fruit Loops, so I don’t mind. I also adore Honey Combs and Corn Pops. Apple Jacks are okay by me. I love Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes, though I’ll admit I don’t like those quite as much as I did as a kid. (I do, however, like Corn Flakes with lots of sugar on them.)

If I have to be healthy, I go for a cereal with raisins or dried fruits…not Raisin Bran. I’m not head over heels in love with that cereal, but I’ll eat it in a pinch. I like Honey Bunches of Oats and the occasional Grape Nut, though I prefer that with yogurt rather than milk.

And about milk…I need my milk to be ice cold. Ice, ice cold. I have to eat my cereal fast because there is nothing worse than warmed milk or soggy cereal. I’m picky about my kiddie cereals, LOL!

So…what cereal are you? Does it match up to the cereals you love to eat? What’s a typical breakfast for you?

Julie Leto

JulieBy all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That’s probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she’s sold over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

    What fun! I eat the same thing every day at the same time. For years it was Raisin Bran. Then oatmeal. Now Special K Chocolatey Delight. No variety for me!!! This nailed me although I’m not a Corn Flakes lover, the description fits!


    You Are Corn Flakes


    You are traditional and easy going.
    If something is high quality, you’re satisfied with it.

    You don’t need much variety or novelty in your life.
    You’re happy with what you have. You’re quite loyal.

    You’re the type of person who eats the same breakfast every day…
    And likely at the exact same time each day!

    I am Cheerios…
    Like other Cheerios eaters, you want to be a responsible adult.
    But you can’t help but still be a kid at heart!

    You try to make good decisions. You’re a clean cut, conscientious person.
    You’re the type of person who would never skip breakfast.

    Part of you thinks that breakfast is too important to miss…
    But a bigger part of you knows it’s too fun to miss!

    I like mine with bananas and brown sugar.

    My milk also has to be ice cold. I hate soggy cereal. I have fallen in love with the Peace Cereal brand, especially the wild berry and Mango/Peach ones. Kashi makes good cereals too. But no one makes a Cocoa Krispies substitute!!

    I’m Corn Flakes! Oh boy does this describe me to a “T”. I usually eat Special K or Shredded Wheat or Cheerios or Corn Flakes too if they are in the cabinet. I like Grape Nuts on non-dairy yogurt as well.

    You are traditional and easy going.
    If something is high quality, you’re satisfied with it.

    I’m Corn Flakes too. I guess it describes me pretty well, but I’m not a big fan of Corn Flakes. I go though cycles as to what I eat for breakfast, but I do try and eat around the same time everyday. I’m really big into Brown Sugar Oatmeal Squares right now.

    I am Cheerios! Which is funny, because that is also what I eat almost every morning.
    YES! My milk has to be ice cold too. In fact, when I drink a glass of milk, I put ice cubes in it to keep it COLD! :wave:

    I am a corn flake girl, which is weird because my favorite cereal is Total…

    Julie….WALL-E by Pixar is coming out on June 27th….don’t ask me why I know (oldest LOVES anything Pixar, we actually have a countdown, don’t ask). He got several WALL-E books for his birthday, so he is all prepped…

    I’m Corn Flakes too. But really I like em frosted. The Special K Chocolatey Delight is my current favorite – they’re so good it’s hard to have just one bowl. I can’t eat soggy cereal either, Julie, and my milk must be cold, so I usually inhale my breakfast and hope the phone doesn’t ring.

    I’m Cheerios!

    The funny thing is, I AM Cheerios. They are my absolute hands-down fave. Especially with sliced bananas and, like Julie, super cold milk.

    When I do eat something sugary and kiddish, I’m like you Julie–Froot Loops.

    This is definitely me! How funny. Too bad I eat Cheerios every day. Fun topic Julie.

    I’m Cheerios.

    That fits me to a tee. I am just a big kid.

    I actually like to eat my Cheerios just as a snack only. My usual breakfast is a Luna bar and an a large diet coke, :wub: except on Sundays when hubby makes the family a healthy breakfast. :happy2:

    Hey, everyone! I’m finally back from Oregon — exhausted after looking at so many houses/townhouses/condos to move to. Nothing firmed up yet, so I’ll be heading back in a few weeks to look at MORE places. :fainting:

    Yes, Julie, you are a FRUIT LOOP, in more ways than one :rotfl1: Have you noticed that so far no one else is a fruit loop? :giggle:

    Me, I’m a boring Corn Flake: You are traditional and easy going.

    I’m a creature of habit — I love Raisin Bran Crunch. I don’t deviate from that very often. :roll:

    I Cherrios but my all-time favorite cereal is Lucky Charms (although I like Fruit Loops too). I can’t buy Lucky Charms for the kidlet because they never seem to make until the following morning for him to eat them – I can go through an entire box in 1 day!

    Welcome home, Janelle!

    Interesting, and totally unexpected!
    You Are Muesli
    You are broad minded and cosmopolitan.
    Your tastes are varied and numerous.

    You like many types of things. You definitely aren’t picky.
    The only thing you can’t stand is being bored.

    You’re the kind of person who can’t have the same breakfast often.
    Your breakfast is unpredictable, unique, and very varies.

    Sadly, I don’t often eat breakfast :X. No time!

    I am Cheerios. But I’m not a big cereal eater. I used to have it for breakfast every morning. When I was pregnant, it didn’t agree with me and I would get sick after eating it. So it was very hard to go back.

    I totally agree with you Julie. If I do eat it, the milk has to be cold and no sogginess. My favorite is Frosted Flakes. But I think I may buy the Special K chocolate since a few of you are raving about it.

    I love muffins, toast, bagels for breakfast. I wish I didn’t – all carbs. I don’t like yogurt or oatmeal so deciding on breakfast choices is hard for me. And I don’t have a lot of time in the morning so it has to be quick.

    The quiz says Corn Flakes, but I say only with bananas. Mostly I like Honey Bunches of Oata
    or Frosted Shredded Wheat.

    Hey monkeys and jungle buddies…here are my results

    You Are Granola

    You are creative and inventive.
    You don’t do much the ordinary or normal way.

    You like to explore new ideas and lifestyles.
    Something isn’t for you just because other people do it.

    Quick breakfast fixes are definitely not your style.
    You’re the type most likely to cook yourself an amazing homemade breakfast.

    What Kind of Cereal Are You?

    It says that I am granola, but it is so wrong…I hate granola…I am a sweet cereal girl…love Fruit Loops, Fruitee Pebbles (not sure if I have the spelling right, corn pops, FROSTED FLAKES (I used to add sugar to that one)…and corn flakes…no granola in there anywhere…

    I hope the post works…

    Peace and love,
    Paula R.

    It says I am a GRANOLA girl. The description fits me to a “T”! Yes I do make amazing homemade breakfasts. My husband calls me the “BREAKFAST QUEEN”! Ha, ha! I make all kinds of stuff. Pancakes with blueberries in them. Homemade Belgium waffles which we love! Eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast, etc. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals!

    As for the rest of the description,

    “You are creative and inventive.
    You don’t do much the ordinary or normal way.

    You like to explore new ideas and lifestyles.
    Something isn’t for you just because other people do it.”

    is exactly like me! Never went along with the crowd. If something felt wrong I didn’t do it. I took lots of art and math classes in school and am very artistic and love to do puzzles. I take apart stuff just to analyze how it goes together. As for exploring new ideas and lifestyles is exactly me also! How do they figure these quizzes out anyway?
