Do you remember CW Post cereal? I grew up eating it periodically and it was one of my favorites. Of course one day it disappeared from the store shelves - guess it wasn’t as popular as they had hoped. As an adult the closest I had ever found was the little clusters in Honey Bunches of Oats (by Post). When Honey Bunches of Oats came out it became one of my favorites (now I love the new peach flavor!) Anyway… So what has Post finally came out with? Just Bunches! I am pretty sure this is just about he same thing as my original CW Post. I am delighted to have one of my favorite Childhood cereals back! How about you… is there a cereal you miss from days past? Have you tried the new Just Bunches? If so, what do you think?

Cocoa Puffs before they became more chocolaty.

I have tried the new Just Bunches in hopes that it was like my all-time favorite cereal CW Post. Unfortunately, it failed to entice my taste buds. I wish they’d just bring CW Post BACK instead of trying to create clones that miss the mark!

I used to love CW post cereal. My favorite however was the recipe for CW post cereal Pie. It was awesome. I would love to try this pie recipe using another close tasting granola cereal..but unfortunately i cant find the recipe i had for that either. It was kind of like a pecan pie..only it had cw post cereal in it and log cabin syrup as well as other ingredients. Does anybody still have this recipe?

Just finished a bowl of Just Bunches! While it was good in its own right, it just isn’t the same as C.W. Post cereal. I agree with Sam…”just bring CW Post back!”

I agree. I LOVED C.W. Post and wish they would bring it back. I think it would do much better this time, with Americans being more health conscious.

Yes — it was the best cereal I have ever tasted. Post — are you listening? This is viral baby!

CW Post was my all-time favorite growing up as well. I often think about it and wish it would come back. I hadn’t heard of “Just Bunches” until just a moment ago when, to my surprise, I pulled a box from our pantry. My wife bought it this week in preparation for our Thanksgiving guests. At first, I simply thought, “Oh this is a cool new cereal. I’ll try it.” Second thought was, “Hmmm…this box really resembles the size of the old CW Post boxes.” Well, at first bite, the immediate thought was, “Oh my gosh! This is CW Post.” But, of course, after taking several more bites, it has too much caramel flavor to be the REAL thing. So, although it’s as close as anything to CW Post, it’s not quite there. So, Post Cereals, please bring back THE REAL THING! But if this appeal, and the others posted previously, falls on deaf ears, I’ll enjoy “Just Bunches” while reminiscing about all the glorious mornings as a youngster enjoying a wholesome cereal at the kitchen counter!
