We all hate cranking the stove up in the summer, it just makes the house so hot. So, keep the kitchen cool this summer with this delicious food hack. Now keep in mind, this is not a scientific poll or survey at all. Just one guy, who loves cereal and loves to use the heat of the kitchen as an excuse for a grown man to have cereal for dinner when he wants.
Growing up as a kid, a new cereal box in the house was a big deal. It was even more of a big deal if it was your week to pick it out. When you have 7 brothers and sisters, you had to wait your turn. Even worse than when you had to wait your turn, Mom doing the grocery shopping without you and she picked up Cheerios or the off-brand of Froot Loops.
The largest cereal brand in the U.S. is Cheerios, with sales of $435.9 million and 139.1 million boxes sold yearly. As of 2022, the U.S. cereal industry has a market size of $20.59 billion. In total, Americans eat roughly 2.7 billion boxes of cereal every year.

Now my unofficial list to keep the kitchen cool will look a lot different.
Other than the cereal, why did we love it so much, That’s easy, it was the PRIZE in the box! The prizes of course were used to get us kids to beg our parents to buy more and more cereal, so we could get all the prizes. Also on the cereal boxes would be quizzes, search a word, cross word puzzles and coloring pictures.
So here comes my unofficial, and unscientific poll of the greatest cereals to eat to help keep the kitchen cool. Now I hope I made you wanna run to the grocery store. Enjoy!
