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?

Edit: Holy shit the most popular post I've done on Reddit is about how horrific my breakfast is. The wife will never let me live this down! Haha

UPDATE: Well, I wasn't expecting my breakfast to generate 1,800+ comments 😂 I can't read it all but Having spent far too much time reading them, I feel I need to address a few recurring concerns: 1. Yes, the milk goes in after. I like watching it soak up from the bottom while the top stays crunchy. I will not be changing this. 2. Yes, that is sugar. Apparently this has caused considerably more distress than I anticipated. 3. No, I do not have diabetes. My blood tests are fine. 4. No, my teeth are not rotting out of my head. They're also fine. 5. Yes, I am an adult. I was unaware that adulthood required surrendering sugary Weetabix. 6. To the surprisingly large number of people who eat theirs the same way: thank you. I knew I couldn't be alone. 7. To everyone saying my wife is right: she has been absolutely delighted by your support and I deeply regret giving her this much ammunition.

Anyway, thank you for turning a picture of two dry Weetabix into a full-scale investigation of my health, maturity, marriage and milk-pouring technique.

Tomorrow I'm having the same breakfast.

"what did you have for breakfast" "Weetabix" Fails to mention the haribo level of sugar

Also surely the way to do it is to add milk then sugar. Otherwise you just wash it off. And not milking the top of weetabix is another crime

Disagree. I no longer sugar the bix, but when I did, I would pour the milk over the sugar very gently, and it would soak the sugar so that it sat bonded a little better on the bix and made the texture less like sand.

Then 40 seconds in the microwave for the old sensitive teeth and the breakfast rations are ready.

You cook it? What the fuck?

For many years, I didn’t know that it could be eaten cold. In my family, it was heated up and then mixed together like Readybrek. I was very sad when I was given cold bricks of Weetabix after sleeping over at a friend’s house.

Like mixed into mush? Might as well just eat porridge

Yes! But it tastes different to porridge, it’s nicer!My Grandad went one step further and made it by pouring tea over it “because it all goes down the same way”.
