Are you like a bowl of Shredded Wheat?

The old ad used to advertise Shredded Wheat as ‘nothing added and nothing taken away’. Are you like that?

I’ve had added a plate and pins to repair a broken shoulder.

I’ve had removed 2 wisdom teeth, my gall bladder and my uterus.

I’ve had surgery for cataracts so my lenses removed and replaced.

anyone else?

I am like a shredded wheat.

Nothing added, nothing taken away.

QuinoafromKew · 31/01/2026 23:38

All I have taken away was two wisdom teeth but everything else remains.

Nothing added but had my gallbladder out at 30

I'm not a Shredded Wheat - I have tattoos and piercings, I don't have any wisdom teeth or tonsils, and at some point in the future I will have a pacemaker. Which essentially makes me bionic, so I am probably Ricicles or something.

Complete, except for a couple of wisdom teeth. (Which may explain this...😜🤑🤪🤪)
