What does your cereal say about you?

A little golden nugget of procrastination for our readers


No matter what people say, cereal really is the best kind of breakfast. Instagram and Made in Chelsea has the nation thinking that tucking into Eggs Royale and smoothie bowls every morning is a normality. For the majority of us, a student budget is our cruel reality and smoked salmon is a once in a while treat. You can bet that most of us will resort to a bowl of cereal pretty much every morning before a long day of studying. We all have a favourite from the cereal aisle. So lets see what yours says about you:

Shreddies

Apparently they’re knitted by nana’s so you probably have a really good relationship with your grandma. Either that or you’re a bit of a granny yourself. Living up to your true granny status, at the end of the day you like nothing more than being curled up in your dressing gown with a cuppa. As a lover of Shreddies, you are very organised and like to stick to a routine. You have a mathematical mind and can tackle a sudoku puzzle like nobody’s business.

Cornflakes

Like the cereal, you’re a classic. Simply the best. You have a warm heart and everyone can rely on you for expert advice. You might be the sensible one in the group, partial to a night in on the sofa with a film, but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to have a good time. You a very family orientated and if you could have any animal for a pet, it would have to be cockerel. Inevitably that makes you a morning person.

Frosties

You’re grrreat (and probably called Tony). Oh and you like tigers.

Special K

If Special K is your go-to cereal, you’re most likely a busy body who likes to have something to do. You have an eye for creativity and will make any excuse to buy clothes. You should probably go to shopaholics anonymous. On the bright side, people love it if you get them for secret santa because your super sense of style and generosity means you buy the best gifts. You would happily spend hours looking round the shops until you find the perfect present. No doubt you also treat yourself to a little something at the same time.

Alpen Muesli

Those of you tucking into a scrumptious bowl of Alpen every morning are the adventurers amongst us. You love going for walks and exploring new places. Your favourite subject is a humanities and you’re inspirational person is Dora the Explorer. Everyone seems to love topping their Alpen with sliced banana, so you probably really like bananas. No doubt you will end up retiring in the Swiss Alps after looking at the mountain motifs on the box for so many years.

Coco Pops

Definitely a kid at heart if you can’t resist having some chocolate to start the day. You’re fun and have a light-hearted spirit. Your friends know you as the life and soul of the party. Consuming a breakfast like this probably sends you shooting out the door on a sugar high day after day. You have a massive sweet tooth in general so most of the time you’re bouncing off walls and can’t sit still. You’re pretty much the evidence that makes us believe humans derived from monkeys. They are your spirit animal.

Crunchy Nut

The bees must love you if you eat Crunchy Nut on a daily basis. As the name might suggest you’re a bit on the nutty side. You quite often find yourself covered in bruises and have absolutely no idea where they came from. Even though people might be laughing at you falling over, you also have a wicked sense of humour and can deliver jokes at the drop of the hat. People who know you would describe you as sweet and bubbly, an asset to any friendship group. And your favourite colour is yellow.

Porridge

You probably began eating Ready Brek before deciding you could brave the lumpy oats and move on to the grown up version of Oat-so-Simple. Stereotypically, people probably think you’re very mature eating porridge but what they don’t know is you’ve drizzled a lot of golden syrup in there for some much needed sweetness. You enjoy the simple things in life and don’t take anything too seriously. You are a very relaxed individual who enjoys getting stuck into a good book. You’re also great because you don’t waste time and can be ready in just two minutes. That makes you someone to rely on. Like Mr Quaker himself, you probably look positively dashing in a hat.

Cheerios

Always a favourite amongst adults and children alike. You’re actually really good with kids, though you’re immaturity is not quite on the same level as Coco Pop consumers. Most of the time you’re happy as Larry, however you have a tendency to change your mood easily. Sometimes you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. But that doesn’t matter because people love you anyway. And you have no artificial colours or flavours. Winning.

Granola

You’re probably southern and posh af. Originally from a town or village in the home counties, you enjoy a bowl of granola with a cup of gold blend coffee and low fat yogurt. Sometimes you might arrange some abnormally perfect looking berries on top for aesthetic purposes. This will be followed by some lighting and angle adjustments. Add a filter and bam you have your Instagram #breakfastofdreams #healthy #granola #love

Fruit ‘n Fibre

A fan of fibre means you have some high levels of intellect and probably got all A* grades at GCSE and A Level. Your parents must be very proud. You will most likely become a doctor or a lawyer and earn a lot of money. Once you start raking in the dollar, you might find yourself enjoying a cooked breakfast every now and again. However you will always remain true to a bowl of fruit ‘n fibre. You generally have a very healthy lifestyle and go crazy over dried fruit.

Rice Krispies

You might be a bit boring at times but add some milk (aka alcohol) and you snap, crackle and pop your way over to the dance floor and don’t stop till the lights come on. It is probably no surprise that you are a massive lightweight. Nothing a kebab and chips in the early hours of the morning can’t solve. You enjoy taking naps on a daily basis. When you’re not dreaming about munching on Rice Krispies you will most likely be watching a series on Netflix or chilling with your mates.

Weetabix

You’re an individual who can take just about anything that is thrown at you. You like variety and enjoy trying new things and you also take part in a fair bit of sport. You’re a loyal, honest friend and an all round team player. People look up to you as a role model and many secretly wish they could be like you, but truly you’re one of a kind (nice try, Oatibix). Looks like you’re the nations favourite as well. Congratulations.

‘I eat toast for breakfast’

For some reason you have made Kelloggs the enemy whilst Warburtons remains on your good side. Ultimately, hangovers aside, if you only ever eat buttered toast in the morning then you must be a very confused individual who doesn’t know the difference between breakfast and lunch. Ditch the Hovis best of both loaf and grab a bowl and spoon. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and must be done right.
