Right Weetabix, where do you draw the line. I feel that I eat an unsensible amount in one go and was wondering what people though of as a reasonable amount.

Cheers

No weetabix. Albino amputee domo-kun shite.

Well i have not eaten weetabix for a few years, but i used to eat 3 or so...any more would not fit into the bowl.

That's the problem i used to eat what could fit in a bowl but my new flat mates have an uber bowl and I can fit many more in that.

Er what's a domo-kun?

4, and cover them all in sugar.

Sugar:- Check

4 humm I dunno...I eat between 6-8 (preferably 8) in a bowl, so you can see my concern

Jee Zuss - if you eat that many you must be able to shit through the eye of a needle.

2-3 weetabix is sufficient!
Posted by tommorris, 20:41, 31st October 2003:
 
you could snap them in half so you can fit more in a bowl? Wait - this is a Ph.D proposal in itself: "How could you design Weetabix differently in order to get the most amount of them in to the widest range of commercially available bowls?"

pour milk on them, that always turns them to mush thus allowing more weetabix space

Yeah that works, but I like to have the chrispy bits aswell, a kinda of milk diffusion gradient across the semi permeable Weetabix. Also the sugar is just a covering on the facing edge the top as they are racked side to side, humm PhD, and I'm at the university that discovered why Tea drips and I think the Toast side up problem aswell.

if you eat that many you must be able to shit through the eye of a needle.


What do you mean? They are pure fibre notorious for not being digestable in anyway shape or form..what kind of needle are you talking about.

I have to side with Mr. Nishi on this one: Weetabix taste nice if you have a mix of the crunchy 'non milky' bits and the soaked bits.

2 weetabix, with sugar

it totally depends on what sort of exercise you do.

i've never been a fan of the mushy stuff myself, but my brother used to eat 5, go swimming, and then eat another 10.

My surfing mates would also devour 10 or so without a problem.

(and by the way, they're known as 'weet-bix' on this side of the world)
