I think Grape Nuts is the scariest food out there. I hear it's supposed to be really good and healthy for you, but it sucks all the milk out of the bowl and maintains its crunchiness, and I swear it grows when I try to eat it. :barf: I'll eat a bowl of sugary sweet cereal (which I also don't like) before I try Grape Nuts again :barf:

Now, to go kill the monster that has appeared in my cereal bowl...
If I'm not back, avenge my death!

I used to like Grape nuts, but I haven't had them since the 80s.

Thats one cereal you never have to worry about getting soggy. I actually used to let it sit for a few minutes to soften up a bit.

Hey, I happen to LOVE Grape Nuts. Mmmmm. :liplick: It's REALLY good when you mix it with Dannon fat-free vanilla yogurt. I used to have that almost every day my senior year in HS. Man, now I want some Grape Nuts w/ yogurt, but I can't because I'm here at school. :p

May I recommend Grape Nut Flakes?

Grape Nuts are horrible. My God I swear I slowly feel my teeth falling apart. Theyre not so bad though if you sprinkle just a couple in yogurt.

OK, then I must be the only one that LOVES it...This is the same person that has loved raisin bran cereal since she was a wee kid, too...

I agree with anyone, who doesn't like Grape-Nuts. :lol: That stuff feels like it could break your teeth! :eek: :lol: And it doesn't even taste that good.

I bought the cereal thought it looked tasty and plus good for you but when I took a bite I wasted it and threw the cereal in the garbage!! Commercials can be deceiving!!

Folks....

TRY IT WITH VANILLA YOGURT SOMETIME.

It's really not THAT bad as you guys make it out to be! :p



I heard on "Unwrapped" (on the Food Network) that the stuff in Grape Nuts is actually hardened bread...I forgot how the process went...but it's actually bread. :D

It's my all-time favorite cereal. My mom ate it all the time when she was pregnant with me and I guess that's why I love it so much. OMG, I let it sit for a few minutes, and then eat it...mmm...yummy.

I used to eat this cereal all the time as a kid! It's great! Try it with brown sugar (the only sugar I put on cereal, if it's not presweetened) it's yummy that way! I also like it mixed in yogurt -nice healthy snack.

However, I hate grape nuts flakes. They get soggy 10 seconds after you pour on the milk - bleck!

How many of you "old-timers" remember that Grape-Nuts commercial of the '70's? "Ever eat a pine tree?" (or was it pine cone) Ewel Gibbons. Can't remember how the rest of the commercial went...

Could you perhaps TRY to get your point across without the OBNOXIOUS use of large letters and graphics? Do you have a Napoleonic complex or something? :rolleyes:

Do you have permanent PMS? Because it sure seems like you do. :p :D

I have been known to enjoy a bowl of the grape from time to time.

It took me a while to get used to them, but it's a good cereal.

Lots of fiber. Let's just leave it at that.

I don't think it's that bad. I can only eat it once in a while though.

I do like a little Grape Nuts mixed in with yogurt, but in a cereal bowl, forget it!

Wow, you're really mature if you just HAD to change my name to "Miss Sicki". You need the stick removed from your behind, and you also need to take some anger management classes. :D You're really mature if you're some 40 year old yelling at a 18 year old.

And next time, could you perhaps TRY to get your point across without sounding like such a tightwad?

I can only have Grape Nuts with yogurt or something. There is one called Kashi that is much better than GP's with the same effect:D

I love Grape-Nuts but I definately have to let them soak in the milk for a few minutes. :D

My father eats it and likes it...... I dunno why,like this member says there is hardily any flavour!!

I like Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes the most........ (I eat an altenrate RICE KRISPIES called "Crispy Rice" as the sodium is higher resulting in them tasting better)

Grape Nuts with Bananas or some other fruit is my favorite cereal. But unless you want a visit to the dentist you have to let soak in the milk awhile.

My uncle went through a phase of wanting to be healthy as a teenager and every morning he would eat a bowl of Grape Nuts and he for some unknown reason liked Grape Nuts and my grandmother would buy my uncle boxes of it all the time. Even today my uncle still eats Grape Nuts for breakfast sometimes

I just cant see the appeal...... No flavour at all really..... Hard on your teeth......

Why would anyone want this?
