A Phoebe and Her Unicorn comic has Phoebe telling Marigold about a cereal originally called "Sugar Kabooms" when her mom was a child, before being changed to "Organic Kabooms" to make it sound healthier.

Cocoa Pebbles is gluten-free, which earns a thumbs up from us , but it only contains 1 measley gram of protein (two thumbs down). Although not the worst offender on the list, this chocolate cereal is probably best left on the shelf. 5. Chocolate Cheerios Don’t believe it? We evaluated some of the most beloved chocolate breakfast cereals out there, and we must admit — we were a bit frightened by what we discovered. 10 Chocolate Cereals: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Special K, the same cereal that had an entire diet dedicated to its consumption, just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add chocolate to their mix.

6. Sugar-frosted cornflakes

In fiction, breakfast cereals marketed as "for kids" are invariably loaded with ridiculous amounts of sugar and contain virtually no nutritive value whatsoever. This stands in contrast to the cereals marketed for adults, which are depicted as being healthy — and about as tasty as eating the cardboard box they came in. For a chocolaty breakfast cereal, Cocoa Pebbles isn’t...well, that bad. Sure, you won’t find it in our cupboards, but it doesn’t quite earn a place next to a slice of chocolate cake. It comes with 10 grams of sugar per 3/4 cup, which, although high, isn’t as frightening as other cereal brands on this list. Cereals like cornflakes or puffed rice served with low-fat milk – can be part of a healthy breakfast but are low in fibre so not as good a choice as a wholegrain cereal. Adding a piece of fruit will help to balance your breakfast as well as making it more filling to eat. These cereals, and their wholegrain equivalents, usually come with added sugar and salt but also often have added vitamins and minerals which are good for your overall health. Other low-fibre unsweetened cereals (like crisped rice or malted flakes) will be similar from a heart health point of view. With 31 grams of carbs and 12 grams of added sugar, this is one chocolate chip cookie we’ll stay away from.

The best food item in Twilight Heroes is called "Frosted cocoa-fruity marshmallow blasts", and in case the name didn't make the cereal's nature obvious, the description tells us it has "a powdery white coating of frosted goodness that instantly dissolves in milk, turning the liquid into something nearly as sweet as soda, because if it didn't the unsweetened milk would seem downright sour compared to the rest of the cereal". The Brothers García has the cereal 'Honey Frosted Bits & Pieces', though the gag is that it's the father who eats it. Broken Age has a plethora of cereals for Shay to choose from with increasingly odd names until you're finally forced into eating "Splargh!" The joke is that, despite the promises of the descriptive and varied boxes, every cereal is exactly the same. A parody of this is shown as a short in one episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show. The cereal is "Sugar-Frosted Milk" and it "stays lumpy, even in cereal!"One Professor Garfield skit features Nermal getting addicted to "Sugar Coated Sugar Blasts," courtesy of a deliberately misleading commercial about its supposed benefits hosted by so-called "Kool Kat Karl" (really the resident dogs in costume).

The original "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" comes from Calvin and Hobbes, where the cereal is sweet enough to choke on, yet Calvin proudly eats multiple bowls a day and collects the box tops for prizes.
