Weetabix or Shredded Wheat

[Mal]

Okay, after some of the serious threads that we've had this week, lets have a stupid (but fun) thread... :)

Which one do you prefer?

Weetabix or Shredded Wheat.

Me? I prefer Weetabix. I always found Shredded Wheat way too bland, even with sugar.

[Maggy]

Soggy Weetabix.Ugh!

[luftys]

Weetabix :D And I have 3

[Julian]

Soggy Weetabix.Ugh!

AKA cardboard. :sick:

Now, Mini Shredded Wheat - :drool:

[Chimaera]

I like either - but at the moment i have a troublesome wisdom tooth - so it's the soggy Weetabix for me!! :(

As Billy Bleach said last night,

'No milk?? never mind, I eat them with SPIT!'

[Marge]

Ugh, don't like any cereal, bacon butty for me :tu: :drool:

[Tricky]

soggy wheatabix everytime (3 of em) - mash em up with the milk then spinkle sugar over the top. mmmm!

[Silent Wings]

I'd rather have Cornflakes with ice cold milk & sugar

but of the two shredded wheat with hot milk & sugar :D

Frankly I'd rather eat porridge than weetabix.Shudder!

[Julian]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm bacon butty.... :drool: :drool:

[Mal]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm bacon butty.... :drool: :drool:
with sausages and brown sauce :drool: :drool: :drool:

[luftys]

Ugh, don't like any cereal, bacon butty for me :tu: :drool:
And black pudding :D

[Paul]

Out of the two - Weetabix (raw). I can't stand cereals with milk and Shredded wheat is just plain awful - it reminds me of something cows are fed.

But my breakfast normally consists of either toast, or toast & bacon, or ready brek.

[Julian]

with sausages and brown sauce :drool: :drool: :drool:

Oh yes, yes, yes....

I think I know what I'm going to have tomorrow morning now, before I go to work. :drool: :)

[Graham]

I've been googling without success to try to prove or disprove the old claim that these cereals have a similar nutritional value to the cardboard packet they come in!!

LOL

We've had edible underwear, why not edible food cartons. :D

[kronas]

neither because i dont have breakfast :p

[iadom]

The answer is both, but it has to be Weetabix with cold milk and Shredded Wheat with hot.:)

[Julian]

neither because i dont have breakfast :p

But it's the most important meal of the day Kronas. :)

[kronas]

But it's the most important meal of the day Kronas. :)

i know but i dont eat for days...........and if i do its usally at sometime during the day.

[Mayfly]

None - I normally just have a plain butty for breakfast, donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t really feel like eating much in the mornings.

[dodgyboy]

Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix.
Guess what I voted for :D

My fav though is Alpen wheat flakes :drool:

This important discussion is appreciated, thanx Mal!!!

[paulyoung666]

weetabix for me , shredded wheat is like eating straw :sick:

[Mal]

This important discussion is appreciated, thanx Mal!!!
Thank you kind sir! :)

[Stuartbe]

Cup of tea - round of toast and a nag from the wife that I should have left for work already :D

[Nugget]

weetabix for me , shredded wheat is like eating straw :sick:

Absolutely - and particularly chewy straw :sick: . Weetabix every time!

I've been googling without success to try to prove or disprove the old claim that these cereals have a similar nutritional value to the cardboard packet they come in!!

Both are made from wheat, both contain about 11% Protein, 2% Fat & 70-75% Carbohydrate - giving an approx figure for Kcal/100g of 340-360.

Cardboard is pretty much pure cellulose, which is not digestible by humans, but working on the basis that cellulose is Carbohydrate & estimating moisture at 10% gives a figure for Kcal/100g of 360.

However bear in mind that the fibre content of the cereals has not been factored in - at 11-12% it would add a further 44-48 kcals per 100 grams.

So purely from a energy (kcal) point of view the cereals are slightly more "nutritional"

The figures above are based on Kcal =((protein + carbohydrate) x 4) + Fat x 9

[Bex]

i dont eat cereal....the only cereal i will eat is special K red berries...anything else i can't..have a thing about soggy food

[Ramrod]

at the moment i have a troublesome wisdom tooth
The last time I had a wisdom tooth try to come through I took to biting down on it. After a while it stopped giving me problems, so I didn't need the dentist after all :D . Biting on it hurt a fair bit but after a while I got to like it :disturbd:
....and Graham, that dosn't mean that I want you to try out your wares on me :D


Oh! Almost forgot why I posted.....I don't like either product. Both are like eating straw (not that I've tried but I can imagine)

[Flubflow]

Weetabix and Shredded Wheat don't have enough roughage for me.:)
I prefer recto-puffs for good steady bowel movement or perhaps ano-wheat for guaranteed bowel movement AND pressure. :Yikes: :D

Yet another particularly busy day in homealone-land :rofl: :rofl: :p
