Oatmeal is popular in the United States however, cereal and oatmeal are not as popular as they used to be due to other portable options. Cereal in the United States is no longer the desired breakfast it once was. A widely popular cereal in the United States is Cheerios, part of the General Mills production. Wheat-based cereals (Cream of Wheat, Malt-o-Meal, Wheatena, etc.) are widely available if less popular.
Triples (cereal) Triples (cereal) Triples was a breakfast cereal produced by General Mills in the 1990s that was similar to Rice Krispies. The name was derived from the three grains — corn, wheat, and rice — that the product was composed of. A television commercial for Triples involved participants shaking their heads three times to a strange sound (a "triple take"). Consumer surveys reported that it made the milk a perfect level of sweetness while only using 4g of sugar per serving. A box of Triples was often featured alongside other cereals on a shelf in Jerry's kitchen on the sitcom "Seinfeld".
