Anyone do the weetabix week?

Nalz

tried the yogurt one.... never again

xzanti

NO!... It looks repulsive, Weetabix are too dry, putting fruit and yoghurt etc on it would just give you a gloopy mess I would imagine..

It's a marketing idea, try weetabix for a week with different things on it like Yoghurt, strawberries, blah blah blah

brianthebard

Its just an attempt to get customers to jazz up a bland product rather than having to do for themselves(weetabix)

Whatever happened the old milk and sugar? The old ways are the best:p

emeraldstar

no it looks horrible...they all look real dry and uuugh. and i really like weetabix!!...but with milk, mmmmmm

BuffyBot

I'm fairly sure I did try a couple of different combinations when they first started doing those ads and found some nice ones

Weetabix and yoghurt isn't so bad actually. But nothing beats the classic milk and sugar....

Nalz

the weirdest I go with weetabix is weetabix buttered and a cuppa tae, but
warm milk and brown sugar... beautiful!

On the rare occasion I eat Weetabix, bananas and milk is about as adventurous as I get.

Yeah, most of the "serving suggestions" on the ad look far too dry. You need to give weetabix a good soak in milk. The ads annoyed me, I must say. I eat Weetabix anyway as it's a fairly nice breakfast (with plain ole honey and milk) and I don't feel the need to have a bunch of muppets in an ad telling me how to eat what I eat.

Those ads annoy me too much to do it anyway. Like it's changed their lives or something! :rolleyes:

Weetabix with milk...hot or cold, that's about as adventerous as it gets with me.

As for Oatabix...one is not impressed!


Oh the little things that bother me...

I just stick to the normal milk and sugar. I recently made the mistake of buying the Oatabix to try it out, blaaa, it's disgusting!! How could they get it so wrong?

Actually, buttered Weetabix is quite nice, though hard to eat unless you really go to town with the butter. The more you butter the Weetabix, the less it falls apart.

Weetabix with: Banana and milk or perhaps honey, banana and milk, never sugar.

Me I do porridge every day, with milk, honey and raisins. Sometimes with sunflower seeds and walnut pieces as well...hmmmm

I HATE milk so I always pour a little boiling over my Weetabix to soften it up anyway. After that I find many of the suggestions are lovely, especially yogurt or with raisins etc. I do like it with jam spread on it though. Mmmmm...

Not a fan of Oatabix but after buying them I had to get rid of them and they actually weren't too bad if I mixed one Oatabix with 2 Weetabix.

2 Normal Weetabix with a little boiling water and then some Weetabix Minis mixed in is also yum!

God No...sounds rotten gotta say!

Put raisins in milk overnight in the fridge, they puff up with the moisture. The yogurt is too thick, mixed with milk is nice. I used to leave the bowl in the freezer since I like the milk ice cold and the room temp wheat heats it up.

We should start a Weetabix Anoraks Society.
