to think that if I buy 24 Weetabix...

[30andMerkin]

I should actually be able to eat more than 8 of them without resorting to snorting the pulverised dust of the rest like some kind of high-fibre coke replacement habit.

What do they DO with the boxes, joust with them? Practice somersaults on them?

weetabix by nature are very delicate comestibles and need handling carefully

weetabix isn't actually foodstuff. They're just compressed sweepings up made out of something or other then flavoured with wheat

They're okay for hamster bedding though

YANBU, but it is a fact of life. I shouldn't worry too much. If you add enough milk the dried up dusty bits are just the same as the ordinary bar bits once they've been soaked in milk.

Joust with them - he he.

I'm glad this has come up - has anyone experienced the dust that is the new type of chocolate weetabix? Clearly the addition of "chocolate" means each bix thing is unable to hold its own molecular structure. Its everywhere but in the box and when you do open the packet you need an industrial face mask. However, DCs like them and dietician says they are better than frosties and co-co pops so, on with the sweeping ....!

"weetabix by nature are very delicate comestibles and need handling carefully"

but haven't you noticed that if the scrapings round the bowl are left once mixed with milk (especially hot milk) they set to concrete. I think that it could be a very environmentally friendly replacement for cement!

Weetabix is vile,.
Ds eats 4 every morning, and it makes me retch to see it.

haha- that has made me laugh. I merrily went to get a bowlful of weetabix minis this morning(just the smaller verions of the large weetabix, not the ones with chocolate chips etc) and only found about 2 inches worth of dust at the bottom of the bag. I don't know what was more infuriating - the fact that at least 12 mini weetabix had simply given up and disintegrated, or the fact that DH had so obviously picked out the last remaining whole weetabix and put a box full of dust back in the cupboard!!
