Grape nuts aren't too bad served hot.
Perhaps one thing I like so much about Grape nuts is they take longer to eat per unit weight than other cereals. All that chewing makes my jaw feel like I am eating a bigger meal. That seems to help satisfy the appetite a bit more.

Cap'n Crunch tears up my mouth too much. Tastes great, but then all I taste is blood after.
