Haulin’ Oats

It was only a matter of time before our product coverage became so vast that a breakfast cereal, of all things, made our list. We promise you this: if you ever open up our e-mail and there’s a can of peas being praised, it’s either April Fool’s Day or the Gay List mainframe computer at NORAD has been hacked.

Cereal, however, is totally fair game. Especially when it’s something as delicious and healthy as Bear Naked (coincidentally one of our favorite gay bars in San Francisco).

To be completely honest, we’ve tried their line of granolas before and haven’t been overwhelmed. But yesterday morning when we needed something quick to eat that wasn’t wearing a Speedo and holding an iPhone, we found a box of Bear Naked’s newest cereal, Nut Cluster Crunch. The Honey Almond variety to be more specific.

The cereal consists of light, crunchy flakes and hearty nut clusters made with oats, almonds, puffed wheat and honey. The box touts the blend as being energy-rich, which we doubted, but you know what? It was the first day in months that we haven’t taken our mid-morning, late-afternoon or pre-disco naps. Not a one. Stayed awake all day.

Plus, we were full until lunch with just the recommended ¾ cup portion.

Each serving contains only 180 calories and we love it with cow’s milk, soy milk, lesbian’s milk or even a little plain Greek yogurt for a protein-packed start to our super-gay day.

So for any of you disappointed to read about cereal today, please don’t fret. We promise a really hot guy in underwear tomorrow.

Or perhaps a critique of Morton’s Table Salt.
