Round 1d is over. The contenders: President's Choice Organic Granola (with honey and almonds) and Nesquik.

So this one was a tough battle, because both cereals turned out to be pretty mediocre. It was hard deciding which was more mediocre than the other. On one side there was the organic granola (actually from the organic aisle at Zehrs, which is on the other side of the store from everything else). I had high hopes for this, but was let down. I could barely taste the honey, and couldn't taste the almonds at all. I could see them floating around in the milk, but they didn't taste like anything. It was disappointing. Also the granola bits were too small, and after getting all the big bits out it looked like dust floating in the milk. Nobody likes dust in their milk.
On the other side, there's Nesquik. It's got chocolatey goodness going for it, but it's a little too sweet. Good crunchiness and chocolatey flavor, but at the end you're left with really sweet milk. Also I'm going to take away some points from them for not actually including their "free magazine subscription or book" inside the package. The box was clearly big enough to hold it, but instead they make you enter a code on a website and wait 6-8 weeks. 6-8 weeks! That's an eternity these days. Although it could have been worse... they could have included a CD of stuff that only runs on Windows.
But getting back to the point at hand, neither of the two cereals impressed me much. I had to try to find some way to pick one. The organic granola one is healthier.. but the Nesquik tastes better. It's a tough call. In the end I asked myself this: if I had to pick one of these cereals to eat for the rest of my life, which would it be? Answer: probably the Nesquik. So that's the one I'm crowning the winner of this battle.
Also, I only realized after I threw out the granola box that I took a picture of the french side of it. Oops.
