Maybe it`s just me, but does anyone remember when a box of cereal lasted over a week?
How it it that now, in a box of 450g, with a recommended portion size of 40g, I`m only getting 5 or 6 average sized bowls before it`s done. It`s a disgrace, I tell thee!
It`s not like I use giant, cave troll bowls. Just ordinary wee bowls. And no-one`s pinching my Weetabix Minis, because they know I`d have their head on a pike.
Surely there`s some sort of cereal scam going on! :/
"Hell, I`ll kill a man in a fair fight, or if I think he`s gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there`s a woman, or if I`m gettin paid; mostly only when I`m gettin paid. But eating people alive, when does that get fun?"
RE: The Great Cereal Scam!
In an attempt to control the prospect of an ever-increasing waistline, I`m pretty careful about portion size. I don`t weigh them, but I`m *fairly* (ahem...) average sized, and am still starving after a bowl, so I ain`t overdoing it.
Plus, on the cereal topic, when did Weetos start to taste awful?

40g is a very small amount - about 3 tablespoons of muesli or porridge oats. It is impossible to actually weigh out 40g unless you have digital scales - analogue scales measure in multiples of 50g.
I always have my cereal in a "babies" plasic bowl, and mix it with yogurt instead of milk.

You know exactly what you`re getting with weetabix
Still Grinning ;) - August 15th 2006
I used to love Frosties, but now for some strange reason now my stomach can`t take the high sugar flakes anymore, so now I stick to boring old cornflakes, Weetabix, or any form of high fibre cereals.

Its a bit of a false economy, Matt66. I have a reasonably big bowl of cerial for breakfast. I figure that filling up on flakes of corn and half a pint of semi skimmed is better for me and more economical than having a crappy bowl of cerial and having a mars bar of a twix mid morning.
If I have a big enough bowl, it lasts me till lunch. Or I may have an apple when I get to work for a bit of energy.
I dont know what the diminutive scottish poo monster would have to say about that, but it a big bowl certainly stops me snacking until lunch. And probably works out cheaper than a mars bar. (im starting to fret about my girth too. The mrs is still a svelt size 8 and im making up for the both of us......)
