Raisin bran is actually really good

r/

Idk why a crap ton of ppl hate on it, it’s actually really good and not overly sweet and the texture of the bran and raisins is also enjoyable. Cereal isn’t meant to be loaded with sugar it’s not healthy

    I will be downvoted to oblivion for this but although I love them, I think there are to many raisins in them.

    Raisin Bran is legit the best cereal. The crunch and then the raisin chew is just….🥹 amazing

    Yea I agree , it’s my favorite cereal bc it has good flavor and different texture. Even as a teen it was my favorite.

    But the health part I don’t agree with , every cereal is just a big bowl of carbs , Raisin Bran maybe less but still basically a bowl of carbs

    Agreed. I get the double pack at Costco for me and my father

    If it’s the only cereal around I’ll eat
    It. If I have other options though, not really

    I warm up my raisin bran

    Wasn’t a fan as a kid. Nowadays, I love it.

    Never would have thought that since it’s only been around for 100 years.

    I guess it’s an unpopular opinion, but it kinda surprises me. Raisin bran is very tasty. Just eat it quickly before it gets soggy.

    Froot loops and raisin bran both have 14g of sugar per cup.  Yes 7g of those come from raisins, but it’s not the less-sweet cereal it’s marketed to be

    I imagine it’s good if you like raisins. But not everyone does

  13. BernieTheDachshund Avatar

    I like both Raisin Bran and Total. The flakes are just so good!

    I always liked it but often avoided it as a kid so my Dad didn’t run out.

    Holy shit, is this an actual opinion? Not a false factual claim? It is!

    Fuck raisins though

    I prefer raisin bran crunch but yeah, is good shit.

    My grandpa ate it every single day, and lived to be 97! I always think of him when I eat it.

    With sliced banana in it, especially.

    According to some random chart I found. Raisin Bran is the 11th most popular cereal in the US, making this quite the popular opinion.

    Not sure this is an unpopular opinion, it’s probably the best mainstream brand cereal available other than maybe frosted shredded wheat

  24. BitterActuary3062 Avatar

    One of my favorites

  25. Cromasters Avatar

    I’d rather have just the Bran to be honest.

    Wheaties are better. Total is better.

  26. No_Worse_For_Wear Avatar

    I actually stopped eating it regularly because it’s a deceptive “healthy” alternative, there’s actually a decent amount of sugar in some of them.

  27. KingButter42 Avatar

    Raisin Bran crunch is where it’s really at

  28. SwedishTakeaway25 Avatar

    It does have a fair amount of sugar, however you subtract the fiber content from the carbs and get net carbs. So some brands aren’t that unhealthy if you’re limiting your carb intake to that meal. Milk also has sugar. Lactose. So that needs to be considered as well.

  29. JimR1984 Avatar

    Raisin Bran is full of sugar too

  30. Ok-Opposite3066 Avatar

    Yes! Raisin Bran is one of my top favs.

  31. Num10ck Avatar

    try Cheerios Oat Crunch FTW

  32. JurassicMouse03 Avatar

    Raisin Bran and Kellogg’s s pecial K are my favorite. Give me some lightly Frosted Flakes with a dried fruit in it any day and I’ll be happy.

  33. Candid_Dream4110 Avatar

    Raisin Bran is actually one of the sugariest cereals, but yes, it’s fucking good.

  34. Commercial-Pop-3535 Avatar

    Finally, a great take.

    Raisin bran is so fucking good.

  35. Tough_Upstairs_8151 Avatar

    Backed!!! When the bran to raisin ratio right 👌

  36. rrjunkie Avatar

    Raisin Bran CRUNCH is the way to go.

  37. epicgamershellyyay Avatar

    Perfectly balanced cereal, Raisin Bran is peak.

  38. OldBanjoFrog Avatar

    Post or Kelloggs?

  39. webguy666 Avatar

    Raisin Bran is one of the highest sugar content cereals there are. You just don’t realize it because it comes from the raisins.

    It is arguably better nutritionally than something like fruit loops or lucky charms, because of the bran, which probably also helps slow the insulin response a bit, comparitely. But it is by no means a healthy cereal or breakfast.

    I enjoyed it even as a kid

  41. jacksprat1952 Avatar

    Dude, I’m here for Raisin Bran. Trader Joe’s has one of the best versions. Such a great balance of crunch and subtle sweetness.

    Grape Nuts are an over correction to the bran side of the equation though. 0/10

  42. DrSnidely Avatar

    My favorite cereal. I like it when the flakes get mushy.

  43. Legitimate_Lawyer_86 Avatar

    Have you ever checked the nutrition facts? It’s absolutely loaded with sugar.

  44. Bannedwith1milKarma Avatar

    Too many raisins, I use another cereal to ‘water it down’.

  45. Uhmattbravo Avatar

    I don’t like rasins, but I’ve always liked those bran flakes and would pick out the rasins.

  46. thejake1973 Avatar

    It goes soggy too fast. Crispy Wheats and Raisins was the superior alternative.

    It’s almost like different people experience some things differently.

  48. Pitiable-Crescendo Avatar

    I like it. Though I have to make sure I’m buying the right one, because I see a lot with honey in it.

  49. Kungfoocats Avatar

    So I like Raisin Bran but it has to be the crunch version. My issue is that it has so much sugar you might as well be having Lucky Charms.

    My problem is that it gets soggy so fast. Also, no raisins for me.

    Hell Yeah it is.

  57. Smoking-Posing Avatar

    I used to hate it because

    1. Too many raisins

    2. Gives you da shits

    Now I just remove a ton of raisins and I’m good

  58. Telstar2525 Avatar

    Delicious but actually does have a lot of sugar
