Let's put together a a list of names of everyone who wants CW Post, the real and original recipe/formula, not Bunches or whatever they tried to replace it with and send it to POST DEMANDING OUR RIGHTS TO CW POST. And for that matter, those who enjoyed CW Post, I have to think also miss Gerber's Blueberry Buckle!! I am 41 and this tragedy MUST END!! HELP ME HELP YOU!!!

WE DIDN'T BUY IT OFTEN BECAUSE IT WAS EXPENSIVE AND WE WERE A YOUNG FAMILY OF FOUR. NOW WHEN WE CAN AFFORD IT AND EAT IT REGULARLY; IT'S NOT AVAILABLE.

Post so great? It was my favorite when I was about nine years old, and I remember there was something especially crispy about it that was in one kind but not the other -- is that right? Seems to me there was an orange box and a purple box, and one of them had... dates and raisins? And the other one didn't? Can't remember which was which, but I know I liked one more than the other, and maybe the crispy ingredient was popped rice? Whatever was in it, it made regular granola taste like sawdust in comparison. Maybe they put crack in there, and it was before crack was a big thing, so it wasn't illegal yet? That's how much I loved it -- I would've definitely eaten the whole box at once if my mom didn't always take it away from me after a couple of bowls. The tragic part of my story is that I developed celiac disease about ten years ago, so I can't eat anything that has even a trace of gluten in it, and most big brand-name breakfast cereals have gluten in them -- even the ones made from corn or rice have malt extract, which makes me sorry for a whole week afterwards if I eat it by accident. (Thank goodness for Chex! They just made the rice and corn ones gluten-free! Thanks, Chex! :) Anyway, I'm still wondering what that secret ingredient was in C.W. Post -- anyone have a suggestion?

I googled CW Post because I was so excited at finding a new cereal that's really similar. Except it turns out that the cereal is only new to my grocery store. It's the Heartland granola cereal that several comments mentioned back in early '09. Anyway, it just appeared in my local grocery store and I was beyond happy. My favorite dessert as a kid was lemon pudding, cool whip, and CW Post cereal layered into a parfait in my mom's crystal brandy snifters. Guess what I'm making tonight? ;-) I can’t believe I found this. I googled CW Post because I was so excited at finding a new cereal that’s really similar.
