Americans Are Ditching Cereal Like Crazy, What?

I could eat cereal for every meal and a decade ago every single person in the country ate cereal for breakfast?  Yeah, that’s a distant memory now.

Americans just aren’t that into cereal anymore.  And it’s not a low-carb thing . . . come on.  We love carbs more than ever.  It’s just that for breakfast, we now prefer things like bagels, Egg McMuffins, pastries . . . stuff we can grab and eat on the run.

According to Daily Finance cereal sales keep dropping like crazy . . . even in just the past 12 months cereal sales are down 2.55%.  Here are the six brands that have taken it the hardest.
