Malt-O-Meal cereals used to be the “cheap offbrand”. Not so anymore. They’re usually slightly cheaper than the name brand, but I’ve also seen them be more expensive per oz/gram than the name brand. I stopped buying Malt-O-Meal cereals 5 or 6 years ago when I saw the new pricing. The new “off brand” are the store brands. Those are significantly cheaper than Malt-O-Meal.
I mean, the better alternative is to just not buy sugary cereal.

Are you really in a position to criticize others on what they consume?
I choose not to drink alcohol. When I see other people posting about what they drink, I don’t go around telling other people they shouldn’t. These are personal choices. We’re both aware of the potential health consequences of our chosen actions. I believe people should be free to do what they want as long as they aren’t hurting other people. I don’t want to think the worst of you, but the only reason I think of for you to make your comment was from a position of moral superiority. I know I’ve been guilty of that before and been ashamed of it later. Did I just catch you on a bad day?
No. I’m pointing out to others who may read this thread that if they have been stuck in the mindset of choosing between options of sugary cereal, that they have the other option of simply not consuming it. We often forget that these sorts of options exist, because no one talks about them.
Also, the example you pulled from my post history is profoundly weird, because it makes me look good… Like, I’m saying that I enjoy something, but recognize that it is an indulgence and then moderate my indulgence because other things are more important to me. I dunno, sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Do you often forget other food exists?

Ouch. Doubling down on the superiority, huh? That’s a bad look, friend.
Okay, following your logic, should I go to your beer post you made 4 hours ago and as a reply put :
“I mean, the better alternative is to just not drink alcohol.”
Is that helpful at all? Would you welcome that reply? Would that be productive to the conversation at all where you are celebrating your enjoyment of something? Should I remind others reading your post that “have been stuck in the mindset of choosing between” drinking to excess or to moderation that they have other options of simply not consuming it? Should I remind people reading your post about your enjoyment of alcohol (even in moderation) that these sort of options exists, because no one talks about them? Do you see how pretentious and unwelcome that would look as reply to your alcohol drinking post?
On a serious note, those Mateys are fuckin’ tasty!
The cereal ain’t bad either.
You guys buying cereal from a box and calling it off brand. This is luxury!
Malt-o-Meal was actually the cheap bag brand when I was coming up. Never seen these in boxes, but their versions of cereals slap
Hmm true now that you mention it my marshmallow mateys are doing well for themselves.
We used to get Malt-O-Meal cereals for free because a cousin of ours worked in the factory.
I used to love waking up and smelling the factory making cereals in the morning
That’s really weird to see those in boxes. They are the main brand that comes in bags where I am at least. (Besides the super bland religious-or-something brand)
Frosted Mini Spooners are better than Frosted Mini Wheats. They have more sugar to the point of having almost a thick sugar crust sometimes. They’re great.
I have always thought marshmallow maties made more sense than lucky charms. It’s only natural for marshmallows adrift in a milk sea to turn to piracy.
I knew a fruity dynobite once, nice guy.
