For many people, Cheerios are their go-to breakfast cereal. I am sure many even consider it to be their go-to breakfast. There are even those who believe it to be a healthier alternative to eggs. This is because they have a high fibre content. They are even better if your chosen flavor has a low sugar level.

On May 1, 1941, Cheerios were first introduced to the world. Originally, they were called CheeriOats. However, in 1945 the company had to shorten the name to Cheerios because of a dispute with a competing manufacturer with a similar product.

Chances are you never stopped to consider how many different Cheerios flavors there are. To be fair, it is probably not something that crosses your mind as you are buying groceries. It may come as a surprise, then, to find out that there are 20 different varieties of the cereal.

You read that correctly, 20 flavors. What are they, you ask? Without further ado, here is the full list of flavors:
