I was able to find 21 lists. I took the 21 lists that included “best,” “most popular,” and even “healthiest” cereals and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of each one. There were 100 that were on at least 2 lists. I averaged the rankings each one got and divided that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.

The breakfast cereals that were on the most lists (out of 21) were:

  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch – 21 lists
  • Frosted Flakes (Kellogg’s) – 21 lists
  • Honey Nut Cheerios – 19 lists
  • Lucky Charms – 17 lists
  • Froot Loops – 16 lists
  • Reese’s Puffs – 15 lists
  • Raisin Bran (Kellogg’s) – 14 lists
  • Rice Krispies – 14 lists
  • Fruity Pebbles – 14 lists
  • Apple Jacks – 14 lists
  • Cocoa Puffs – 14 lists
  • Cookie Crisp – 14 lists

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created:
