The one kind they don't have on offer are the plain old original Cheerios.  It's all the honey nut whatever kind.  DD left after Christmas with a full box of the original ones, which is what she likes.

Would think just about anywhere.  I know Sainsbury's in London flogs them.

They are marketed by Nestle in UK.  Sainsbury's has something called "Cheerios Oat" which looks like the original but (I know) is much more sugared up for the British market.  They also sell Cheerios Oats & More with raisins, almonds or honey.  Can't tell from the picture but looks more like a muesli.  The Nestle website lists the honey nut variety as well.  I know I've seen them.

Honey Nut Cheerios are available just about anywhere.  Too bad I'm a fan of the plain yellow box!

I am glad I am not the only one asking this question but I love the plain old cheerios, is the yellow box no where to be found?  Do I need to bring my own?

You can get them at Selfriges or small specialty shops with American food sections, often for an exorbinant amount of money - or order from an online import retailer.  I think the medium-sized boxes are sold by Skyco for around £6 plus shipping. :P  I've learned to stash boxes in suitcases and ration quite strictly!

My mum used to visit us a couple times a year and always had plastic bags full of Cheerios stashed in her case.  Now DD has to ferry her own.  The other thing she always takes back is Annie's mac and cheese (known to us as "Bernie Bunny")
