I usually buy the cheap Fruity Pebbles for my kids, but Walmart has out of them one day so I got the name brand as a treat. Their response? “Dad, please don’t buy those again. Dyno Bites are better.” I was flabbergasted.
Then again, they don’t see cereal ads, don’t know who the Flintstones are, but love dinosaurs.
I think you imprint on things as a kid and don’t like change. I definitely had my preferred after school snacks and even different brands just felt wrong.
Growing up I watched all the cereal ads and I still preferred the Dyno Bites. There’s so much crap added to the “big brand” cereals. It’s like eating sugar. It must be overwhelming for them trying those after being used to Dyno Bites.
Strange, from memory it was the exact opposite. The brand names actually had decent flavor/texture, while the off-brands had humongous amounts of sugar, to the point where you actually taste the sugar rather than it just sweetening the overall flavor.
If true, that was 10 year old me arguing and I do not stand by anything he says 😂
But really, that hasn’t been my experience with some of them, but it would make sense if the off brands stay pretty close to the big brands in recipes or added more sugar to compete that way. I guess I’m trying to find logic in preference. I’m realizing how little I know about cereals.

I’ve imprinted of specifically Hood Golden Eggnog. I have it every year and no other eggnog hits for me.
For example, I loved the shitty school pizzas, even though they were a culinary abortion.
