It's OK that they don't come with prizes: like Cracker Jack, the prizes suck nowadays.
My favorite pre-workout cereal is Raisin Bran. Something about raisins makes me work out like SuperWoman! I also like Shredded Wheat, but I have to get the kind with frosting-sorry (the kid in me).
randi523: a spoon full of sugar and raisins makes the wheat and bran go down.
special when i have a long trip to another country i like to take couple box with me.they help me a lot before i could "shop like local and eat like local"
grasshopper: The trumpets sound for "Bran Power!"
