(1) Honey Nut Cheerios defeats (16) Grape Nuts
This one was never really in doubt. Complete domination by HNC, and one loud "Where's the flavor?!" exclamation from one of the testers upon his first bite of Grape Nuts.
(8) Trix defeats (9) Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch
Trix didn't really have to sweat this one out either, as it was a fairly clear-cut decision. Two very sugary, yet very different-tasting cereals here, and apparently fruity is better than peanut-buttery.
(12) Raisin Bran defeats (5) Honey Nut Chex
Our first upset of the day probably wasn't that much of an upset considering how well-known and loved Raisin Bran is as a brand. This was a very close vote, but RB becomes our first double-digit seed in the second round.
(13) Chocolate Cheerios defeats (4) Kix
Kix heads home early despite getting a lot of love from the selection committee. Many of the tasters had never been exposed to Chocolate Cheerios, a fairly new cereal, but the early reviews were strongly positive, setting up a 12 v. 13 matchup between an old standby and an up-and-comer in Round 2.
