+Robin L. Tinderfox it's not /that/ plain. I just think synthetic fruit and peanut butter, probably just doesn't sit well with us. I mean we have crunchy nut but that's mostly just sugary, we have your corn flakes, cheerios, rice crispies. We also do have weetabix (bland, but most people have own preference for toppings, I used to just pile sugar on top lol). Take a look at out variety packs (for kids) that has some typical English cereals (could be american too, I believe they're all kellogg's). Aside from cereal, we do have the best breakfast of all... The Full English Breakfast, Google it. But most people don't have the time to prepare it. I mean personally I'm not even awake for breakfast most days, and when I am I skip it anyway. But I have fond memories of breakfast lol. Oh and try some marmite on toast :) Also any other british people know what milk that is? It looks like some type of long life shite judging from the odd bottle shape and pure white colour. Instant way to ruin any cereal is put long life in it lol.
+Chef Excellence I would never even put this shit close to my mouth (any of the brands), and absolutely not for breakfast. So i guess im weird as well :P
+FuuNoKami_Oka He said British cereal isn't often as sweet or by the sound of things as "novelty" as in the US. Sugar is the first ingredient for most of our cereals so it makes sense for us to be used to them by now. Our diets are full of fat and sugars that are far less common overseas. As for this though, I'm partly with him. Reeses puffs aren't as good as say mixing Cocoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Crunch together. It's sweeter and there's more chocolate in it to balance it out, tastes better than just Reeses puffs in general.
+FuuNoKami_Oka Honestly it seems more like he's just reinforced that America's food is freaking bonkers, what is it with you guys and peanut butter on everything?
Bryan G. I don't mind peanut butter, I just don't think it needs to be put into everything, as to "banning all the good tasting things" you might have to give some actual examples of that friend, because from where I'm sitting you seemed to pull that notion right outta your ass. And you're not really convincing me on the protein angle either when we're talking about this cereal and other junk-food examples which I doubt has anything even close to actual peanuts in it.
The only thing that comes to mind when I see these are the commercial they had when they first came out. REESE'S PUFFS, REESE'S PUFFS, PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE FLAAAVORRR
I'm eating Reese's Puffs right now while watching this cereal, and this is one of my favorite cereals ever. It really is like having two cereals in one good box.
Reese's Puffs is one of my favorite cereals of all time, man! Don't think it'll change your mind, but I will say you aren't using nearly enough milk. The key to Reese's Puffs is to DRENCH it in milk so that it gets semi-soggy -- not all the way soggy, of course, but the pieces need to absorb some of the milk and get... well... puffy! This helps cut the salt content and delivers a genuinely satisfying flavor that I just can't get enough of.
SuperChochip Different strokes for different folks! Personally, I can rarely eat cereal without milk -- and I need a LOT of it. If the milk isn't all the way up to the lip of the bowl and almost spilling out, then as far as I'm concerned, I don't have enough for a bowl of cereal. ;)
Peanut butter isn't particularly salty unless you get some specially salted brand. It's something in the middle, making it suitable for eating with both salty and sweet things.
Well Mike, you strike me as a kind of rigid, picky, inflexible kind of guy. Anything slightly different or unusual at what you consider to be the wrong time or place, and you strongly reject it. You also react strongly to flavours that other people would consider relatively mild - see the recent Boy vs Girl eating challenges where Grace barely flinches, and you're all over the place. Haven't tried this cereal, but the real peanut butter cups also have a bit of a salty kick to them, so it's no real surprise that the cereal does as well. Many people like the contrast of salty and sweet - see salted caramel as an example of that.
I haven't had Reese's Puffs in forever, but I grew up on Peanut butter crunch and I still love the stuff. Wasn't a big fan of fruit cereals as a kid, but man Cinamon Toast crunch, and Peanut butter crunch were right up my alley.
Reese's Puffs are one of my absolute favorites! The sweet/salty thing is kinda like how people like salted caramels. The combination of sweet and salty just makes each flavor more intense. I've never found peanut butter to be all that salty, but then I'm American.
Chocolate and peanut butter cereals taste like chocolate and peanut butter ? ...what a concept. I cannot believe cereals with chocolate and with peanut butter would taste like what chocolate and what peanut butter taste like. Yeah. Who could have predicted 'that' of all things. -_-
+RallyWolfie It probably tastes salty to him because everything is so heavily salted in the US. Try tasting some low-sodium foods; they probably taste bland to you.
+That Blind Guy Well he did just eat 3 extremely sweet cereals before he started this bowl. Note the shirt, and the lighting between each video. It's all the same day. So of course he doesn't taste the subtle sweetness... He burned himself out on the Trix.
Reese's Puffs is one of my favorite cereals actually (Lucky Charms and the Count Chocula family make up my top 5 though). Here in America we honestly don't notice the salt and sugar in most of our foods either way that much since we put so much in everything. Probably the same reason the artificial fruit flavors bothered you so much in Trix and Froot Loops; we're _used to_ those flavors in our breakfast cereal, our candies, our soft drinks, our desserts, and our fruit juices. The idea of putting raisins, dried straberries, or banana slices in cereal is a common one over here (not one I was ever fond of) and the fruit flavored cereals are an attempt at immitating the way the tastes combine for those who don't care for the texture combination that winds up with. Similar ideas for orange creme / peaches and cream / whipped cream and strawberries.
Hello, I'm an American person: Froot Loops and Trix are disgusting and give you green poop. Lucky Charms are okay, and Apple Jacks are pretty good. But Reese's is the absolute BOMB! I love that stuff. I don't get where you are tasting so much salt though.
Hm. Haven't tried that one; it never appealed to me although my brother ate boxes and boxes of it. Although....I did very, very much enjoy Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Puffs...just without the chocolate. And it never tasted salty. It tasted like peanut butter and milk (which I do like--nothing unsticks a peanut butter sandwich in the most pleasant way like a swig of milk!) with a nice crunch that didn't get too soggy too quickly.
I think it's just a difference in how sweets are manufactured. We're raised off of corn-based products/artificial sweeteners, and so those cereals taste good/normal to us. Obviously tastebuds change and about 75% of the time we find, as adults, that our favorite childhood snacks do not hold up, but yes, the vast majority of the younger ones, and a lot of the older ones too, genuinely like those.
+ICHBlNS don't wan't to defend him for the sake of defending him. But he could be wearing the same shirt mutiple days, if you don't sweat it won't smell (and he might not go out anyway). Or he could have multiple of the same shirt. But, it's just as likely that him saying "day 4" is simply him referring to the fourth day you get to see his video. But I'm just speculating.
Reese's puffs is a terrible cereal. Some great cereals are cinnamon toast crunch, Cinnabon cereal, rice crispies treats cereal, Apple jacks, honey comb, cap'n crunch, and golden grahams. But my absolute favorite cereal is French toast crunch they recently brought it back after being discontinued for almost 10 years. I understand that most of the cereals I mentioned may be just bowls of sugar and/or are already available in the UK but if they aren't give them a try.
+PunkNDisorderlyGamer French Toast Crunch is great indeed, but to me, it was always the poor man's Waffle Crisp. That's the cereal I *really* want them to bring back! Cinnabon is a good call, though. Cinnabon cereal is the business.
I like Pops,Cherrios, Kix, and I've tried AppleJacks as an adult and they are alright. My parents never bought me any of the fruity/sugary cereal and I never really craved it so yeah.
I stopped eating cereal years ago. I've had a couple fruit flavor ones and chocolate rice crispy cereals recently when I lived in Oregon like 2 years ago and I remember liking it. I should eat more cereal just because of the vitamins they have, but I think it's best to eat maybe something like honey nut cheereos or something that's not compact with artificial colors and flavors.
I tried Reeses Puffs once when they first came out and never had them again. I remember telling my mom, "Welp, these aren't gonna be on shelves for very long." But evidently there's a market for sadness-flavored dry cereal.
My favourite cereals (if you can get them) are Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Sugar Crisp, and Mini Wheats (frosted). If you can't get them in the UK, I suggest you seek them out, they all have nice flavours (no fruit flavour, you seem to hate that for some reason).
I like Reese's cereal. We've had is off and on in our household since it first came out in the 90's and my dad, who's favorite candy is Reese's peanut butter cups, likes it. I've never thought about Reese's cereal as salty, but I suppose you're right. If you want to go saltier go for peanut butter crunch, it's like Reese's but without the chocolate pieces.
I mean those are mostly kids cereals I personally enjoyed most of them when I was a younger. Haven't had any of them in recent years however. Maybe they've changed since then, just out of curiosity what do you guys have for cereals and such over in Britain?
Absolutely I love Reese's Puffs. I made them before they existed by mixing Coco Puffs and Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. I'm probably the 48th person to post this exact thing.
As others have pointed out. Your eating these all on one day. So of course a slightly salty cereal is going to taste like pure salt. Try it in a day without anything sweet before hand. Its really good.
i feel like corn flakes, just regular coRn flakes, are a bit salty. and i love those. though i havent had reeces cereal since i eas a little kid so i dont remember if i liked those.
Reese's Puffs was my little sister's favourite, and I very much enjoyed it as well. Yes Mike, yes... you ARE the weird one for not enjoying all these cereals.
I'm from the U.S. and never had this. Peanut butter flavored puffs for breakfast just seemed like it'd taste weird and unappetizing. I guess it does, AND it's salty.
Just remember that what passes for food in England is stuff I wouldn't feed to my dog. So different strokes for different folks is really all I can say.
Salty-sweet things are a bit of an acquired taste, but not all that rare around here. I like reese's stuff, and I like things like 'flipz' (chocolate coated pretzels), but not constantly. Its been a while since I've had the reese's puff ceral, but I liked it as a kid.
I love Reeses Puffs and I have never really noticed the salty taste, although that might because I eat so much peanut butter in my life that I just don't notice it anymore.
I think its because things here are made differently our things are made to fit our tastebuds. If there were made over there i think different ingredients would be used
+latieraeve possibly, but I don't think British and American tastes differ that much. Maybe just opinions on what cereal or breakfast should be like flavour-wise.
I can't give you my own opinion because I am allergic to reeses so I've never tried the cereal, but I did like the commercials xD My brother loved it when he was younger! It was one of his favorites.
To be honest, as an American, the only cereal I really eat is Honey Nut Cheerios. I may occasionally get a box of Reese's Puffs because I actually like them. But other than that I really don't eat the sugary cereals.
It's been so many years since I've had Reese's Puffs. I do remember enjoying them though. Definitely my least favorite of the ones you've tried this week though. Never had tomorrow's Apple Jacks though. I am going to buy a box of ultra-sugary cereal to eat this weekend though, these videos made me crave it. I want to try American Capn' Crunch some time, as I hear it's quite different in America (I am in Canada). I love the Canadian stuff though.
I've actually never tried those... I love the peanut butter cups. I don't know why I've never even thought about buying them. I'm really curious now. (I doubt it's that salty) It might also be that you may like all these cereals but without the milk. I usually carry around a baggie of cereal as a snack. It's been a little while since I've had cereal with milk.
I dont think I've ever had Reese cereal, no even as a kid. Frankly I'm shocked that its still being sold. I don't recall seeing it at the store nor can i think of anyone who actually likes it.
Yes, I do LOVE this cereal. I don't notice a saltiness, only the taste of peanut butter (mixed with chocolate), which I also love. (I'm in the US, btw) I guess Resse's Puffs was also a rare treat for me growing up since my parents didn't want us eating sugary cereal...And by the time I got my own job, I lost interest.
This cereal showed up long after I stopped eating sugary cereals due to type 1 diabetes so I haven't a clue if I'd find it salty. I find Cheerios distinctly salty eaten dry, a bit less so in milk, yet still palatable. I wonder if Mike likes it or would like it. Mike seemed to enjoy Special K cereals when he tried them for a diet -- I don't mind them but they have a sort of gluey undertone, or perhaps I just think of that taste as gluey because it's from wheat gluten. I don't recall Mike noting an odd taste. But de gustibus etc.
Man Mikey you have the most plebest taste buds everI have no clue how you can hate all of these maybe all that bad british food has tainted your tongue
Wow, British cereal must be the blandest, plainest shit every crapped out of a factory.
+Robin L. Tinderfox it really fucking is
its cos of our government and healthcare system.... oh and Jamie fucking Oliver and his fucking healthy bollocks a few years ago
+ThePowerOfJessa No, I'm sorry, it really isn't at all. There's plenty of trashy, sugar-filled cereal produced here...shitloads of it.
+Paul Dennett well in comparison to American stuff it iz
+Robin L. Tinderfox it's not /that/ plain. I just think synthetic fruit and peanut butter, probably just doesn't sit well with us. I mean we have crunchy nut but that's mostly just sugary, we have your corn flakes, cheerios, rice crispies.

Oh and try some marmite on toast :)
Also any other british people know what milk that is? It looks like some type of long life shite judging from the odd bottle shape and pure white colour. Instant way to ruin any cereal is put long life in it lol.
I love Reeses Puffs. It's like having Cocoa Puffs combined with Peanut Butter Crunch.
+Hunter the Hunter it's more work to mix them right
+masteroflag
But with edible results. The actual Reece's cereal is just... meh.
+joshscorcher thats exactly what i did b4 resses puffs came out
+joshscorcher Except I'd rather mix Cocoa Puffs and Peanut butter crunch and eat that than eat Reeses Puffs Cereal.
+joshscorcher Yeah. Pretty much.
yes mike you are the weird one.
+Chef Excellence I would never even put this shit close to my mouth (any of the brands), and absolutely not for breakfast. So i guess im weird as well :P
+Chef Excellence An Excellent Cereal
+MadlySevered
Yes.
All these flavours, and you choose to be salty.
If you've established anything this week with these videos is that you have horrible taste in cereal.
+FuuNoKami_Oka He said British cereal isn't often as sweet or by the sound of things as "novelty" as in the US. Sugar is the first ingredient for most of our cereals so it makes sense for us to be used to them by now. Our diets are full of fat and sugars that are far less common overseas.

What is it with you guys and Islamification of everything?
I can't say I recall it being salty at all. I just remember pure sugar.
This was my favorite as a kid. I never thought it tastes salty, though..
One of my all time fav cereals haha
WrecklessEating same
man some one needs to send mike coco puffs, count chocula, cinnamon toast crunch, corn pops and all the capn crunches.
CocoPuffs is sold in the UK :)
+TheFleming98 No we have coco pops in the europe, coco puffs like nesquick cereal here.
+Tony Ritter cap'n crunch is the shit. 'tis the nectar of the gods.
+Tony Ritter We have Cocopuffs/pops and Cinnamon Toast Crunch here.
+Tony Ritter does the uk have cookie crisp because if not someone really need to send him that.
American cereal is just candy you pour milk on.
So Mike sat down one afternoon and ate a bowl of 5 different cereals.... You could have at least changed your shirt to promote the illusion. Lol.
+TonixTech MikeJ is a hack fraud fuck.
Alternatively, Mike doesn't sweat much, and can get away with wearing the shame shirt for a few days, this saving on washing and energy.
was literally about to put that lol
+Nasuth No, that would be MikeS.
+Words More words Thank you for getting that. :D
The only thing that comes to mind when I see these are the commercial they had when they first came out.
REESE'S PUFFS, REESE'S PUFFS, PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE FLAAAVORRR
How can he possibly say that's salty? There's nothing salty about it at all. It's about as salty as a pure sugar.
really enjoyed this video series about cereals! keep it up!! P.s. better than watching grass growing! just kidding - I love you Mike!
Reeses Puffs is the best cereal ever made. what is wrong with you? it's not salty. it's Reeses for breakfast!™
+TheReckless Paladin But it's not cookies for breakfast!
+TheReckless Paladin You can keep the peanut butter buddy! I'm coo-coo for Coco Puffs! COO-COO FOR COCO PUFFS! *COO-COO FOR COCO PUFFS!*
I'm eating Reese's Puffs right now while watching this cereal, and this is one of my favorite cereals ever. It really is like having two cereals in one good box.

Peanut butter isn't particularly salty unless you get some specially salted brand. It's something in the middle, making it suitable for eating with both salty and sweet things.
love it have never thought it was salty
Well Mike, you strike me as a kind of rigid, picky, inflexible kind of guy. Anything slightly different or unusual at what you consider to be the wrong time or place, and you strongly reject it.
You also react strongly to flavours that other people would consider relatively mild - see the recent Boy vs Girl eating challenges where Grace barely flinches, and you're all over the place.
Haven't tried this cereal, but the real peanut butter cups also have a bit of a salty kick to them, so it's no real surprise that the cereal does as well. Many people like the contrast of salty and sweet - see salted caramel as an example of that.
I don't enjoy many cereals.. the only ones I like are Lucky Charms, Frosted Mini-wheats, and Applejacks.
It tastes better when it's dry anyway. The same with the rest of the other cereals.
Back when I ate cereal, Reese's puffs was probably in my top 5 favorite cereals. I never really thought it tasted like peanut butter cups though.
I haven't had Reese's Puffs in forever, but I grew up on Peanut butter crunch and I still love the stuff.
Wasn't a big fan of fruit cereals as a kid, but man Cinamon Toast crunch, and Peanut butter crunch were right up my alley.
Apart from Fruit Loops, none of the cereals featured in this short series are sold in Australia.
Reese's Puffs are one of my absolute favorites! The sweet/salty thing is kinda like how people like salted caramels. The combination of sweet and salty just makes each flavor more intense. I've never found peanut butter to be all that salty, but then I'm American.
I haven't tried any of these cereals since I was in my early teens. They really are made more for kids than people with developed tastes.
I liked it when I was a kid. Haven't tried it in years, so I can't say if whether or not I still would.
Yes Mike, you are the weird one. We love you anyway.
Chocolate and peanut butter cereals taste like chocolate and peanut butter ? ...what a concept.
I cannot believe cereals with chocolate and with peanut butter would taste like what chocolate and what peanut butter taste like.
Yeah. Who could have predicted 'that' of all things. -_-
I love Reese's Puffs. I don't know how it tastes "salty" to you.
+RallyWolfie
It probably tastes salty to him because everything is so heavily salted in the US. Try tasting some low-sodium foods; they probably taste bland to you.

Reese's Puffs are great, but I didn't know they were American. They have them at Morrissons lol, along with all the other cereals.
Took a box to get used to it when it was first introduced, but it's good to me now?
Hm. Haven't tried that one; it never appealed to me although my brother ate boxes and boxes of it.

Reese's puffs is a terrible cereal. Some great cereals are cinnamon toast crunch, Cinnabon cereal, rice crispies treats cereal, Apple jacks, honey comb, cap'n crunch, and golden grahams.

+PunkNDisorderlyGamer French Toast Crunch is great indeed, but to me, it was always the poor man's Waffle Crisp. That's the cereal I *really* want them to bring back!
Cinnabon is a good call, though. Cinnabon cereal is the business.
+Wyrdwad waffle crisp yea that cereal was amazing too
I'm curious how you would react to Nesquik cereal I don't think it sold in America anymore but I've seen it in Mexico
I like Pops,Cherrios, Kix, and I've tried AppleJacks as an adult and they are alright. My parents never bought me any of the fruity/sugary cereal and I never really craved it so yeah.

I need to have Reese's Puffs again. I don't recall it tasting 'salty'. Now I question my memory of other peanut butter flavored cereals.

Porridge and almond peanut butter are delicious together with honey and prunes cook with water and add milk at the end ,

I liked Reese's Puff's when I got some from the US
I love Resees Puffs. What kind of cereal do you guys eat over there?
This is my favorite cereal along with apple jacks and cocoa crispys.
This is what we call a "dessert cereal." Pair with a nice Sauternes.
I do like it, although just for a once a week thing, I get sick of it if I eat it too often.
Reese's Puffs was my little sister's favourite, and I very much enjoyed it as well. Yes Mike, yes... you ARE the weird one for not enjoying all these cereals.
Oh man apple jacks! I've wanted them since 2002! Never had the chance to.
Everyone has their own tastes. I like this stuff a lot, but I also like some stranger cereals like good mornings waffle crunch.
Our diet's in America are so packed with salt already that the salt in the cereal we don't even notice
I never described peanut butter as salty before
I'm from the U.S. and never had this. Peanut butter flavored puffs for breakfast just seemed like it'd taste weird and unappetizing. I guess it does, AND it's salty.
Just remember that what passes for food in England is stuff I wouldn't feed to my dog. So different strokes for different folks is really all I can say.
You're crazy Mike. Reese's puffs is my favorite cereal. The only thing stopping me from eating it every meal is health. It's like crack in my mouth.
Salty-sweet things are a bit of an acquired taste, but not all that rare around here. I like reese's stuff, and I like things like 'flipz' (chocolate coated pretzels), but not constantly. Its been a while since I've had the reese's puff ceral, but I liked it as a kid.
I love Reeses Puffs and I have never really noticed the salty taste, although that might because I eat so much peanut butter in my life that I just don't notice it anymore.
I think its because things here are made differently our things are made to fit our tastebuds. If there were made over there i think different ingredients would be used
+latieraeve possibly, but I don't think British and American tastes differ that much. Maybe just opinions on what cereal or breakfast should be like flavour-wise.
Daniel Jackson salty tho? I have NEVER herd that about reeses b4 in my life
really?
Take a look at this:

definitely salty, the cups. Never had the cereal. We don't get them lol.
I love Reese Puffs n Lucky Charms.
He forgot to add bleach to balance the salt
You've done like half the cereals we have here in the US. What kind of cereal do you have in the UK?
I can't give you my own opinion because I am allergic to reeses so I've never tried the cereal, but I did like the commercials xD
My brother loved it when he was younger! It was one of his favorites.
To be honest, as an American, the only cereal I really eat is Honey Nut Cheerios. I may occasionally get a box of Reese's Puffs because I actually like them. But other than that I really don't eat the sugary cereals.
I live in America and I've never even HEARD of this cereal. I might have to hunt it down and try it.
It's been so many years since I've had Reese's Puffs. I do remember enjoying them though. Definitely my least favorite of the ones you've tried this week though. Never had tomorrow's Apple Jacks though.
I am going to buy a box of ultra-sugary cereal to eat this weekend though, these videos made me crave it. I want to try American Capn' Crunch some time, as I hear it's quite different in America (I am in Canada). I love the Canadian stuff though.
I've actually never tried those... I love the peanut butter cups. I don't know why I've never even thought about buying them. I'm really curious now. (I doubt it's that salty)
It might also be that you may like all these cereals but without the milk. I usually carry around a baggie of cereal as a snack. It's been a little while since I've had cereal with milk.
So Mike, whats your views on Kraves?
I've mostly had honey puffs and Müsli through the years but I liked coco puffs the most which I almost never got.
peanut butter isn't salty and you're the weird one. too me it tastes like a reese's peanut butter cup.
I don't enjoy cereal in general. When I do eat it, it's usually Frosted Wheats or Frosted Flakes (Frosties for the Brits)
I love Reese's Puffs cereal. Though I don't eat cereal with milk. Actually I tend to treat cereal as a snack food more than a breakfast.
Haha I thought about the King of Queens episode too!
I dont think I've ever had Reese cereal, no even as a kid. Frankly I'm shocked that its still being sold. I don't recall seeing it at the store nor can i think of anyone who actually likes it.
so far I've agreed with you on every cereal
Yes, I do LOVE this cereal. I don't notice a saltiness, only the taste of peanut butter (mixed with chocolate), which I also love. (I'm in the US, btw) I guess Resse's Puffs was also a rare treat for me growing up since my parents didn't want us eating sugary cereal...And by the time I got my own job, I lost interest.
This cereal showed up long after I stopped eating sugary cereals due to type 1 diabetes so I haven't a clue if I'd find it salty. I find Cheerios distinctly salty eaten dry, a bit less so in milk, yet still palatable. I wonder if Mike likes it or would like it.
Mike seemed to enjoy Special K cereals when he tried them for a diet -- I don't mind them but they have a sort of gluey undertone, or perhaps I just think of that taste as gluey because it's from wheat gluten. I don't recall Mike noting an odd taste. But de gustibus etc.
Can we have a week of British cereal because now I'm curious
That's my favorite cereal of all time...
So Mike - what kinds of cereals DO you like?
I like reese's and fruit loops, I'm suprised you found the reese's so salty.
A lot of the cereals you've eat are supposed to with milk
but for personal taste I've my dry which actually make the more enjoyable for some cereals
Also anyone else what he gonna the cereal afterword especially the one he hates
I love this cereal yes
Man Mikey you have the most plebest taste buds everI have no clue how you can hate all of these maybe all that bad british food has tainted your tongue
