My cereal PTSD was learning how to read a nutrition label at like the age of like 7, because over the years my mom gave me a very specific grams per serving of sugar that I had to stay under in order to buy the cereal of my "choice." Obviously, this led me to buy the most insane sugary cereal the second I graduated high school and moved out. I basically lived off of Count Chocula and Cookie Crisp in college. 😆
@@valerie1864 I wasn’t allowed to have Cookie Crisp as a child, so when I tried it as an adult I was so disappointed!! Although I still think kid-me would have loved it 😂
@@ElleAlexandria I do think SO many of my favorite childhood snacks just no longer scratch the snack itch for me. Which actually does make me sad (looking at you dunkaroos....)
I agree with Valerie. It's not as hyped up as she (Erin not Valerie) says it is. To me it's not very sugary and doesn't seem to have much fruity flavor, if any flavor at all really. Just plain boring cereal really
No sugar cereal growing up for me either. I also ALL the snacks at a friend’s house/ thank goodness my friend’s parents could spare all the hostess cakes I’d eat. I was allowed to pick my sugar cereal during spring break vacation. It felt so good to get lucky charms off the shelf during those two weeks haha
Chocolate Frosted Flakes are definitely available year round. I’ve seen them and bought them at Walmart before. Something I’ve recently started to see is Cinnamon Toast Crunch Frosted Flakes.
Oh man!! The US has the most best collection of cereals in the entire world and I am literally screaming on the inside to try them but I can't. Erin!! I hope you did check your sugal level after eating all of those sweet & crazy Halloween cereals. 😂
My husband and I watched this one together. He was allowed to eat sugar cereal as a child.. I also went to my friends house to have a sugar cereal fix. I loved Lucky Charms. LOL.
Count Chocula is one of my favorite cereals! The regular chocolate frosted flakes (available all year) without the marshmallows is my favorite cereal and I also crave apple jacks from time to time. My husband thinks I am weird because I eat cereal for dessert.
As a child, oatmeal, or Life cereal was what we were "given" at my house. 😢 As always, a wonderfully entertaining food video Erin! 👏🏻👏🏻Best Food Food Reviews Ever!! ❤❤
LOVE count chocula. It’s been hard for me to find this year tho!!! A few years ago they had pumpkin spice Frosted Flakes and they were my absolute favorite!!!!🧡🖤
We had a variety of cereal but only cud open one at a time😵💫..thank goodness for cereal containers😁 my 2 favs as a kid was Smacks & honey nut Cheerios......now I like fruity pebbles, smacks, golden grahams, granola
Nvm me just rewatching this cus I need more of our queen Erin I'm my life lol. Not like I'm about to off myself cause I shouldn't exist but this helps kind off ❤️
"Sugar Smacks" is called Sugar Crisp in Canada. That's all my parents would get and I wasn't allowed to eat it because it was sweet (and it was Dad's cereal). I was allowed Honey Nut Cheerios if I was lucky. Fun thing though...on summer holidays I was allowed to have one sugar cereal and one snack food. We were usually walking a lot so it probably gave me more energy. I love berry cereal but I'm totally hunting down the Count Chocula too.
I'm a mom that tries to only buy her kiddos Cinnamon Life or multigrain cheerios. Ill throw in an occasional cinnamon toast crunch or captin' crunch. I often get asked to buy lucky charms and i totally would if the cereal part of it didn't taste like bland cat kibble.
I wanted Count Chocula so bad as a kid. My Grandpa got annoyed with me begging for it so he threw his hands up and said "NO COUNTF×+%UKA" That's my cereal PTSD 😆
Saaaaame, only my “treat” would have been apple cinnamon cheerios haha now as an adult the cinnamon oat cheerios are still my jam (along with ALL the Reese’s puffs and CTC)
I didn’t like sugary cereals as a kid. I remember buying Barbie cereal once for getting a good report card and taking one bite and throwing away the rest. I liked Cheerios and corn flakes a lot. To this day the sweetest I can go is Honey Nut Cheerios. My husband grew up eating knock off fruit loops (and other similar cereals). Now we don’t even buy cereal for our daughter. We eat oatmeal with natural peanut butter (unsalted ground up peanuts) and fruit. The reasoning is that there are lots of serious health issues in our family so we are trying to set her up with a good foundation so that she can hopefully avoid some of those issues later on in life.
Abby, you're a good mom!!! The health thing is for SURE something to consider as a parent with these cereals. My parents weren't giving me "healthy" cereal...but really bad "sweet" cereal so that's where my resentment came from LOL
As someone who's been buying the frosted Mini wheats for years it's actually just cinnamon and others spices, I don't think there's any pumpkin in it. Those and the Special K seasonal flavor are my to go to go choose for fall.
I love honey/sugar smacks but dry as a snack not as a cereal with milk. I love all things pumpkin spice and my brother made fun of me when I asked him to pick me up some pumpkin spice bagels at the store (I was sick) and when he called me to repeat back the small list I sent him with I asked if he got the pumpkin spice bagels he said "yeah I got your white girl bagels"... Thanks bro 😅
The original Monster cereals I like (Count Chocula, BooBerry, Frankenberry). I tried Fruit Brute for the first time this year and absolutely hate it. And the stores around here only sell it in the family size I'm hate-eating my way through it. My 6 year old doesnt even like it! Unrelated but related - I've been looking up and down for the song you have under the Rice Krispies portion of the video. I'm assuming that's Epidemic or YT Audio library. Can you tell me the track title, pretty please?
Erin, I'm old enough to be your mom and my parent's very rarely allowed sugar cereal, too exspensive and not good for you. But when I got to pick one it was always Count Chocula!💖
@@pamelagriffiths4428 Coupons are the way to go! I wish I could have gotten some with this spread. I didn't realize how expensive cereal taste tests would be!!
You made me laugh. You said that the Hocus Pocus 2 cereal had a berry brew flavor & then you described it as tasting like grape and orange flavors (from Fruity Pebbles). I thought that it was kind of ironic (& funny!) that the 2 flavors that you named are not berries & you didn't even have that look that you give when you are just joking with us. I was watching for that look, since you said berry brew & then named fruits that weren't berries. Even if it wasn't intentional this time, you still made me laugh (thank you for that).
what the heck did you get in your hair? it's just cereal? ha i'm a plain cherrios or corn flake kinda gal since i didnt grow up with any sugar cereals. now i need to try that special k! i had the cherrios version a few years back and couldnt deal
Count chocula and Boo Berry and Franken Berry And Captain Crunch are my favourite. And the other cereals that I also like to the kid were strawberry shortcake, cereal, and Winnie the Pooh cereal. I just don’t care for pumpkin spice 🤢I find its way overrated and there’s too much of it around fall time. I need to come up with a different fall favourite flavor.
@@ErinRobinson your bathroom reno was baller you are an inspiration for pushing out of our comfort zones girl. Hope your autoimmune diet isn’t hurting your spirit too much, so proud of you.

It's hard to find! Go before it's too late!
Its such a generic cereal. Not worth it

Apple Jacks taste like that all the time!!
are you sure!?! This felt very fall-forward!!!!

Sounds like you need to make a trip sometime JUST for the cereals alone lol!
Only Erin could make me want to go and buy pumpkin spice cereal.
Maybe it's a sign that you NEED it
My husband and I watched this one together. He was allowed to eat sugar cereal as a child.. I also went to my friends house to have a sugar cereal fix. I loved Lucky Charms. LOL.
We're you kicked out of the house like I was LOL!! Also, I absolutely love it when couples watch my videos together. Warms my heart
I grew up eating Count Chocula. SO good 😍
I feel like I truly missed out after ONLY having it now
Count Chocula is one of my favorite cereals! The regular chocolate frosted flakes (available all year) without the marshmallows is my favorite cereal and I also crave apple jacks from time to time. My husband thinks I am weird because I eat cereal for dessert.
I can't believe I lived my whole life without count chocula!
As a child, oatmeal, or Life cereal was what we were "given" at my house. 😢 As always, a wonderfully entertaining food video Erin! 👏🏻👏🏻Best Food Food Reviews Ever!! ❤❤
Our parents were CRUEL!
watching all of the ads on your videos to help with the cost of the surrogacy!!!!!!!!!
Heather, I love comments like this. It really does mean a lot to me
Another video of you living out my childhood dreams 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Let me know if there's anything else you want me to try/revisit from your childhood!
I might have to go try the count chocula one now!!!! Happy Fall, Erin!
Do it. You will not regret it.
I think count chocula has a MASSIVE cult following, and for good reason!
the count chocula tasted just like coco puffs! very nostalgic for me. my daughter hates the marshmallows so just get coconut puffs
I'm with your daughter on the mallows!!
I've always loved the pumpkin spice special k - look forward to it every year. My fave capn crunch is the vday one lol
Wait, they've had this special K in years past?!?!?!
Every year for awhile now. It has a different box now
Than it did before I mean
@@lillythf Oh that's interesting. I am for sure going to try and stock up before they're all gone!
LOVE count chocula. It’s been hard for me to find this year tho!!! A few years ago they had pumpkin spice Frosted Flakes and they were my absolute favorite!!!!🧡🖤
I've found it a couple of times at Target!
Excited to watch this
Let me know your thoughts! And if you have even tried ANY of these? lol
I’m going to have to look for the Special K Pumpkin Spice and the Hocus Pocus!!!! Thank you for trying all of these so we didn’t have to!!!!
SPECIAL K pumpkin spice is🥰
The hocus pocus sucks. Its a real generic cereal, nothing special. Not worth it
We had a variety of cereal but only cud open one at a time😵💫..thank goodness for cereal containers😁 my 2 favs as a kid was Smacks & honey nut Cheerios......now I like fruity pebbles, smacks, golden grahams, granola
I think your pallet has evolved!

What is with sugar smacks and dads!?!??!?!??!
Love this!
Chocolate Frosted Flakes has been a thing for a while. They have it all the time. That became a flavor cereal years ago lol
Can you tell I usually skip the cereal aisle!?!?
Orange is the favorite color of 7 of my kid's preschool classmates including his 😂
But do you think it will stick???
Love, love, love this video! Might have to pick up some pumpkin spice special k! 😋
It's so perfectly fall it's not even funny
capn cruncn, apple jacks, count chocula, cheerios and special K always hit the mark on fall/ halloween cereal.
i want count chocula so bad
Can you not find the count at your local store???
I'm a mom that tries to only buy her kiddos Cinnamon Life or multigrain cheerios. Ill throw in an occasional cinnamon toast crunch or captin' crunch. I often get asked to buy lucky charms and i totally would if the cereal part of it didn't taste like bland cat kibble.
I kind of agree about Lucky Charms. It has always been my least favorite.
I never got to have these either haha! I want to try Count Chocula now!!
Do it, Jess! You will make up for lost time!
Fall pancake/waffle mix should be you next video
Oh...I LOVE the idea of pancake mix!!!!
I wanted Count Chocula so bad as a kid. My Grandpa got annoyed with me begging for it so he threw his hands up and said "NO COUNTF×+%UKA" That's my cereal PTSD 😆
BWAHAHAHAHAH! I totally laughed out loud at this!!!
I love count chocula, I get it every single year. I was suckered into the hocus pocus cereal bc of the box 😂
It's good though! I can see how it still might not be #1 for you as a huge count chocula!
@@ErinRobinson my husband loved it
@@crystalammons7907 I think the two of you have great taste!
I wasn't allowed to have sugary cereals when I was a kid either. Honey Nut Cheerios was about as exciting as it got for me. 😆
I relate too hard. Although, I can't say that I will do it differently with my own kids one day.
Saaaaame, only my “treat” would have been apple cinnamon cheerios haha now as an adult the cinnamon oat cheerios are still my jam (along with ALL the Reese’s puffs and CTC)
I still buy Count Chocula every year!
It will now be in my fall rotation!!
Stop teasing me with all this yummy ceral I can't get in England 😭🤣

It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus! 🤣🤣🤣

You shut the front door right now!!!!!!! I NEED THIS!

Run! Before it's too late!
Count Chocula is the best! =)
Most underrated cereal of all time
Oh ya! Cap'n Crunch was the BEST! I have 50 year old scar tissue on the roof of my mouth from eating handfuls of Cap'n Crunch outta the box.😅
I know right? It literally cuts the roof of your mouth and you just eat, eat, and eat. Soooo delicious!😋
Love you Erin. ❤️
TYSM!!
Can we talk about that amazing sweater though?!
