Breakfast Bliss: Survey Uncovers New Yorkers’ Favorite Cereal

When I think about what breakfast cereal that I like best, it is a no-brainer. My favorite is Cinnamon Life but not for the reason that you might think. I like the taste for sure, but for me, Cinnamon Life takes me back to staying overnight at my Grandma Pitcher's house when I was young.

Whenever I pour a bowl of Cinnamon Life, the first thing I do is raise my spoonful of cereal towards the sky and say "Here's to you Grandma, miss you much and love you more."

This Friday, March 7th is National Cereal Day and I will certainly be honoring my Grandma Pitcher on that day with two bowls of Life Cereal. Because of my job, I don't eat cereal for breakfast like I used to but if you are like many people, you start your day that way.

VegasInsider took a look at what popular cereals people love munching on to kick-start their mornings. According to Google Keyword Planner data, Cheerios takes the crown as the most popular cereal choice in New York State with 8,100 searches per month on average in the past year.

Lucky Charms comes in as a close second with 6,600 searches, followed by Fruity Pebbles at 5,700 searches, making up the top three favorites in the Empire State.

Here's a rundown of the top 12 most loved cereals in New York:

Cheerios: 8,100 searches

Lucky Charms: 6,600 searches

I'm convinced that with all the cracking and popping noises my body makes when I stand up, that I'm 98.1% Rice Krispies. Anyway, Cinnamon Life didn't make the list, but you don't need to search for it, when you already know that it's your favorite. What is your #1 cereal and do you have a reason why?
