Definitely, with Chex at a close second. Although, there’s an argument to be made for Cookie Crisps, given that they’re basically just little chocolate chip cookies.
A lot of casseroles and fried foods incorporate corn flakes. Chex cereal (especially wheat or corn) is rarely eaten as cereal (ingredients for Chex mix).
You’re probably right its #1. But its not to far off from the others.
Rice Krispies
Chex (Chex mix is hugely popular snack)
Corn Flakes (used as breading on meats)
Cheerios (kinda of outside the box cause Im thinking of it more as a childs snack. Especially toddlers. Its great as a non-breakfast cereal throughout the day)
I mean Cereal doesn’t mean milk and cereal. Cereal by definition is any grain used for food. Breakfast cereal is still ” toasted grain typically eaten with milk” implying that it isnt a requirement. there for Rice krispie treats is still cereal
This is so true lol. Everyone buys it for the kids but then just eats it straight from the box as a snack. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen someone pour milk on Rice Krispies
Fruity pebbles are all over in various candies, on donuts, as an ice cream topping, and as fruity pebbles crispys (rice crispy but using fruity pebbles).
When I was a kid, my mom made a massive amount of all-bran muffins for my 5 siblings and me. That’s probably not anything close to what rice Krispies are used for outside of cereal. But it kept us going.
Rice krispies are essentially rice grains that have been crisped up and puffed up, and rice is known as one of the most versatile foods in the world. That’s why it’s not surprising if it’s often used to make other dishes and desserts and not just eaten as cereal with milk.

I still don’t believe people actually eat grape-nuts.
I feel it is just there to fill out the cereal isle shelves!

Cheerios are the snack of choice for so, so many children. Baggies and baggies carried and doled out as snacks in the car, train, and everywhere else.
Interesting tidbit:
But, one of my wife’s students once brought home-made Rice Krispy Treats with Reece’s Pieces mixed in…. FREAKING CRACK!!!!!
Granola used as a topping on yogurt and desserts is probably close.
I ate Rice Krispies as a cereal growing up but the bowl was sugar flavored milk ., same with cheerios
People fry chicken in crushed up corn flakes are about to lose their minds in the comments

As someone about to make rice crispy trests in about 2hours i support this message
They changed the recipe here in South Africa so now it’s made made out of goop and not actual rice.
New stuff tastes so wrong that there’s a booming market to import Rice Krispies from countries that still have the real stuff.
How many Oreos have been sacrificed to the cookies & cream gods?
You’re probably right its #1. But its not to far off from the others.
Tell me you’ve never raised a kid or attended many parties without telling me.

Shreddies or cheerios I would think would be more popular. They go in all manor of snack mixes, rice crispness just do squares of different flavors.
Does eating cereal by the handful with no milk, while on the couch in your undies, count as “not actually eaten as cereal”?
And Chex and Cheerios (prime snack option for kids)
Folks frying chicken in crushed corn flakes are gonna go wild in the comments.
What about hot cereal? Oatmeal might give them a run for the money.
A lot of cereals make good marshmallow treats
I think all those cheerio munching babies might have something to say about this, if they could talk.
Forget about bowls Rice Krispies should come with a warning label Best enjoyed straight from the box. Who’s with me on this crunchy revolution.
TIL cornflake cakes haven’t hit it big internationally
Does nobody here make cinnamon toast crunch krispies???
Who else misses Rice Krispies Treats cereal?
TIL Rice Krispie squares are not considered a cereal.
Pretty sure flapjacks are way more common than any Rice Krispie bar, at least in the UK.
it’s my favorite cereal.
just don’t get store brand, it’s crap
Fruity pebbles are all over in various candies, on donuts, as an ice cream topping, and as fruity pebbles crispys (rice crispy but using fruity pebbles).
It’s likely that marshmallow treats will get more action than a breakfast bowl.
I’m aware that this may not be a thing outside of Aotearoa/Australia, but nutrigrain most certainly surpasses rice “krispies”
Golden Grahams, FTW!! Never seen a drop of milk!!
Musli bars would give them a run for their money
Fruity pebbles gotta be the top of this list
I hate marshmallows, and I have a dislike of rice crispies. Yet somehow I like rice crispy squares.
When I was a kid, my mom made a massive amount of all-bran muffins for my 5 siblings and me. That’s probably not anything close to what rice Krispies are used for outside of cereal. But it kept us going.
Chex mix puts all 3 varieties ahead of rice crispy…
I swear no one eats Cheerios past the age of 6 or without them being put in a plastic bag first.
Chex and corn flakes have to be up there.
Corn flakes are even sold pre pulverized for baking/cooking
