So, this time I went with a themed battle - I picked two cereals with "crunch" in their name. Harvest Crunch vs. Cap'n Crunch.
CerealWars Round 1e1
Unfortunately, disaster befell when I had my first bowl of Cap'n Crunch. The problem? Every 30g serving of this cereal has 13g of sugar. Eating the cereal is basically like eating flavored sugar, and I felt pretty sick after getting through the first bowl. Rather than continue to torture myself, I decided to give Cap'n Crunch the "sudden death" option (yes, I'm allowed to make up stuff like this) and eliminate it from the competition. It loses, big time.
Since I still had a near-full box of Harvest Crunch left, I decided to pick another box to battle it. In keeping with the "crunch" theme, I got a Crunchy Mixed Berry cereal.

This battle was much better. Harvest Crunch is a pretty decent cereal. My main complaint with it is that it's really dense and packed-together. When you pour out a pile of this cereal into a bowl, you actually end up with more cereal than you thought. A similar-volume pile of any other cereal is much lighter. Nonetheless, the cereal tasted decent and was quite good provided you took into account the higher density.
The mixed berry cereal was better. The addition of a few bits of fruit seems to make all the difference. The flakes themselves were a little too hard and sharp, but they tasted pretty good, so overall I think this cereal came out a little ahead of the Harvest Crunch.
