Round 1m contenders:
CerealWars Round 1m
This time I inadvertently ended up grabbing two cereals which were just different versions of cereals I had already tried. The Fibre1 version I got this time was "Crunchy Original" and the Cheerios were multi-grain.
The notable thing about the Fibre1 cereal was that instead of having the cereal contained within a single bag inside the box like every other cereal, they had two half-bags sitting in there side by side. Which was pretty unnecessary. It would be a good thing to do for cereals that wick up moisture easily and get soggy if you leave them there for too long. However, the Fibre1 was the complete opposite of that: even after dousing it in milk it tasted really dry. Somehow it managed to stave off absorbing any of the milk so when I ate it, it disintegrated into powdery dust in my mouth. And it tasted weird, too.
The cheerios, on the other hand, taste like any other box of cheerios: nothing fantastic, but something you wouldn't mind eating. A reliable cereal that you know won't surprise you either way. Reminds me of the saying "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" (although of late it's been Microsoft rather than IBM). Cheerios is the IBM of cereals.
Anyway, given that the Fibre1 wasn't that good, Cheerios wins!
