This can be applied to any cereal, any own brand stuff is tastless soggy shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How shite are the various "own brand" Weetabix btw? Pure pish. If it's just Weetabix then 5 is acceptable. No more though. The 'normal' own brands are fine. It's the value stuff that is akin to consuming gravel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 How much does it cost for Weetabix nowadays? A fiver for 24? The supermarkets are on to something here, I'll stick with the cheap stuff thanks. And two at a time, because I'm not a fat b*****d like so many in here apparently are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Someone I know eats six for breakfast and says they'd eat it for every meal if they didn't have family who insist on daft luxuries like vegetables and protein. Kid I went to school with literally ate nothing but Weetabix so his maw loved it when I came over and would insist I stayed for dinner, as I actually ate her food and said nice things about it. Bit sad. I went through a brief Weetabix phase about a decade ago, as the wean had just discovered it. The own brand ones taste absolutely identical, as in they're all virtually tasteless on their own; I've no idea what folk are on about with that. Only the texture is a bit different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes have 5 and my BMI is 19, I'll have you know. Two wheat biscuits is nowhere near a satisfactory breakfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I tried eating five in the ~10 minutes I usually have I'd probably go into a coma. They're also not sold in quantities divisible by five, so I'd go insane before I was unconscious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very tasty, though, and with infinite variety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can have 2, 3, 4 or if a greedy b*****d 6 in one sitting. 1 weetabix is useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 5 weetabix plus milk and some fruit for palatability is only about 550 kcal, which is a good breakfast size, enough to keep a real man (like me) going for about 3 hours, until elevenses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter had this phase a few months ago. In answer to the question she would have two and then come over all hobbitlike and wonder about second breakfast, and so have another 2. Lidl's own brand are ok, or close enough for her not to complain. Personally I just have pieces and jam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth are you gibbering about? 24x per box. 5 boxes = 120 biscuits. at 5 per breakfast = 24 breakfasts. Do you live in some weird Stalinist Central Planning Local Authority area where purchase of breakfast biscuits is strictly limited and rationed?

I ask again, do you live in a Stalinist State that prohibits you from purchasing more than one box at a time? Even still, you could just buy one box of 24 and throw 4 away. You seem hell bent on making a 5 biscuit breakfast unworkable for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
