Spend some time reading labels. Even the adult cereals, like Special K and Bran Flakes, contain more salt per ounce than potato chips, and more sugar per ounce than Coca Cola. And they cost more per pound than most fresh vegetables and fruits.
All good reasons to enjoy those sugary, salty, nostalgia-inducing goodies in moderation.
Grape Nuts with No milk?? That's like eating gravel right off the ground. But, I'm with you- I've always liked Grape Nuts, even as a kid.
My 7 year old won't eat any cereal with milk on it. She hates milk, so she gets OJ with calcium in it and calcium chews.
After I tried Grape Nuts for the first time, I christened them "Grape Rocks". And then they came out with the variations - Raisin Grape Rocks, and Grape Rocks Flakes. Do not like.

CW Post invented Grape Nuts in 1898, and his mentor Kellogg invented Corn Flakes a bit earlier in 1895. Cornflakes was basically the first of the modern-style cold, toasted grain breakfast cereals. Of course back then they didn't have the sugar and chemicals added, since they were considered to be vegetarian health foods originally for the sanitarium in Battle Creek.

They taste like rocks too.

I like Honey bunches of oats with almond milk (or sometime coconut milk) and banana slices.
My kids love it too. I don't allow them to eat any sugary kids cereal which is just pure junk food.
My mother never bought those cereals, so I never ate them. In the winter we always ate hot cereals: Old-fashioned Oatmeal [vs the quick-cook kind] and Cream of Wheat. Every couple of months I get the urge to have a bowl of oatmeal for dinner - a good and inexpensive meal!

Remember the fake commercial on SNL for "Quarry - The cereal made from stone."?
Totally depends on the timing after adding milk to them:
<5 minutes = rocks
>5 minutes = complete mush
