The first breakfast cereal to come from the company was Grape-Nuts in 1897... Read on and see all cereals from Post

I'm in my late 50s and still love cereal. Post Oat Flakes was the best of all. Please bring it back ASAP!

Loved this cereal. With the resurgence of oats as a health food and the way it is being added to so many products, mostly bread, seems like a no-brainer for a resurrection!

I've been searching in vain for Post Oat Flakes. Absolutely the best. Post makes many fine products but this was my personal favorite.

I can not believe they stopped making this cereal. It was by FAR the best cereal ever. I wish I could see the ingredients list today because I would love to know just why it was so delicious.

I'd love to see this brought back just the way it was. It was the best tasting cereal I've ever eaten and I keep looking for it to come back.
