Reply to comment by SmokeyBare in TIL: honeycombs start out circular, and the surface tension of the beeswax pulls them into hexagons as it solidifies, because it is the most energetically favorable conformation. by craigdahlke
Well, adults can get any cereal they want, and while honeycomb is kinda nice, is it really the one you choose when you get to have anything you want?
Its the "kids consolation prize cereal" when your nutritionally responsible mom wont get the terrible-for-you sugary one you really wanted.

What? Crazy talk. Honeycombs were my unhealthy cereal of choice. My mom would never buy sugary cereal, so when I went to one of my friends' houses he'd have the full selection, and honeycombs were my favorite of them.

Look, i ate the hell out of em as a kid, and I wouldn't turn a bowl down today. They arent bad, and were tollerable for my mom on the sugar scale.
That said, if i want a sugar-bomb cereal ive got a few items further up the list im gonna go for first.

It might have been that because I grew up mostly with low sugar cereal the ultra sugar bomb cereals were too sweet for me by contrast.
