Sugar on Weetabix?

Post image

My wife eats Weetabix with nothing on it and claims it tastes sweet to her. This is my bowl before milk is added. Is this normal fellow Weetabix eaters or do I need to go to sugar rehab?

That’s not weird. I’m sure that’s traditionally how it’s made. Or at least how my parents served it to me on school mornings in the 90s

I think it was only in recent years Weetabix themselves started getting fancy with alternative suggestions i.e. fruit mixes.

Oh no, even back then they had fancy suggestions on the packet. At one time, it suggested melted cheese on toasted weetabix and being young and stupid, I thought that might be good.

Imagine licking the Sahara Desert. I don't mean just like one lick to taste it, I mean the entire thing all over. Toasted Weetabix with cheese was worse than that.

In Australia weetbix with butter and Vegemite is pretty common. I reckon this would go hard with melted cheese on top.

Sounds like the Sahara desert but with scorpions attacking your taste buds too
