I'm sorry.  There are no decent knockoffs of cheerios.  In fact, my mom
used to try sneaking them by us by putting them in the tupperware after
having had cheerios in it.  I can tell by the sound when you pour them. 
All the substitutes are harder, and sound different.  And on the topic
of cereal, when I was a kid KIX was good, then a few decades ago they
decided to compete with the sugar cereals, and removed all the sugar
from the dough, and spray it on the outside, so the actual sugar content
didn't change.  Now they make the milk sweet, and the texture is all
wrong.  Haven't had them since.

No, I'm not fussy about my cereal. :-)
