oh you gotta love wheatabix
i think they should sell it as a powder form because lets face it
everyone waits until its mush before they eat it
just add milk and its instant mush
mix a bit of sugar in and your gonna have a good day

I was always told that 'Never Eat Soggy Weetbix' was how you remembered North East South and West...when I was a little kid.
Mmmm dry weetbix with butter and vegemite...or weetbix smothered in golden syrup and milk.

Love those reminders
My very ernest man just summed up natures plan
Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Same as above but with Excellent Martian instead of ernest man.
EEEWWW people eat soggy weetbix?
Got to try and race to finish the bowl before the last bit gets too soggy!!
And remember to rinse the bowl out soonish cos that stuff dries on like cement.

My reminder for NESW was 'Never Eat Shredded Wheat'.
I haven't to this day...
Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.

Add the milk and leave to soak overnight in the fridge in a tupperware bowl. And in the morning - lovely mush!

Gah! I can't eat the stuff. I mean seriously, I can't physically swallow it -just the feel of it on my tongue starts me retching...
Now chocolate mini weetabix (straight from the packet no milk of course) are a whole different matter....mmmmmmmm

Wheatabix is ewwwwww. Firstly I can't eat it because I'm wheat intolerant and secondly because when you do mush it up to feed to babies it is all sticky and crusts onto anything it falls on (all you parents/baby care people will know that when feeding a small baby that wants to play with its food there is no way of stopping whatever you are feeding form getting everywhere) like a concrete layer. Also bowls that are not immediately washed after finishing soggy wheatabix will take an industrial jackhammer to get the damn stuff off!
Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

i'm a big weetabix fan, myself. There's nothing better than a sliced banana on a couple of weetabix, covered in full fat milk

I do no understand the attraction... my kids eat them (the boys anyway), but I think they're revolting.

When i first went to the uk i had these thinking they would be like the aussie "weet-bix' --their not! they turn into soggy gooouuoup.. I like them if i can eat them at light speed before they become mush
- i do like them, took a little getting used to tho... Weetbix over wheatabix!!!! What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side where people walk upside-down?!

i like to eat it hot in winter, and porridge too, mmmm with golden syrup.
we used 'never eat shredded wheat' too.

No way totally normal, we even used to have boiling water poured over them, just enough so they soak it all up and no water is left, then cover them with syrup and snaffle snaffle!!

I ate 16 in a day once.
I usually eat them 4 at a time, and often go back for another 8.
I will be fat one day.

I feel left out now.. I've never tried Weetbix in my life, even though we always have it in the cupboard at home.

My (almost) three year old son asked for a dry weetbix the other week, and ate the whole thing without any water!
Well, a large part of it was in crumbs on the floor, but he ate over 3/4s
