How many is too many/too few?
4 is a good number but 6 is easily doable.
2 and the milk/biscuit ratio is hard to gauge - also who only eats two?
Thoughts?
3 for me.
1.5 for jnrOath
3 plus a handful of Frosties with slightly warm milk ..... at 11pm 🙂

When I used to do 12 hour nightshifts I'd ride home, have 6 Weetabix and then a can of Kronenburg whilst watching the Big Breakfast. Slept like a baby.
My daily breakfast once I get to work is Weetabix - well, actually Tesco's own version.
Used to have 3. Tried 2 and don't seem to get hungry any quicker, so now I only have 2.
Every now & again I treat myself to 3, although 4 is easily do-able.
2.5 for me!
2 is too few, 3 a bit much. 😀
The real question is...
Mash them up into a modge, or leave the biscuits whole and cut bits off?
Mash them up for me.
1-2 on top of muesli, 3-5 if on their own.
Eat quick to minimise mush...

The third way...
Dunking allows for precise, and variable, saturation control!
4 for me with warm milk.
2. But I prefer Shredded Wheat.
An odd number when I visit my parents, just to throw my dads routine. Otherwise about 4, depending on starvation levels. Microwave milk, then add Weetabix and dried fruit.
As many as fit in the bowl.
3, tempted to try 2 for a week and see what happens like Stumpy. Cut down from 4 to 3 and apart from not feeling immediately full (which takes 5-6) noticed no difference.
Same with 30g Vs 50g of porridge.
3 with a sprinkling of Jordan's nutty museli and doused with cold almond milk. Leave for the time it takes to get a brew on to allow for consistent modginess.

Genius! 😆
My mate as a kid used to get weetabix with no milk but rather slathered with butter as an evening treat.
4, any less for an adult is basically admitting you are a failure as a human being.
Or less greedy, whatever!

Shredded wheat are what I imagine eating carpet to be like.
Weetabix consumed in pairs, usually 2 pairs with ice cold blue top milk and a light dusting of sugar. Must be consumed post haste so they are moist but firm. 😉
Used to have 3 and mash them up. Now I have two and chop them up.
Sadly I'm not 1/3 lighter, or mashed up.
baby - 1
son - 2
wife - 4
me - 0
Weetabix has a very narrow milk saturation time window when it is even remotely edible. Other than that millisecond, it is rank.

This AND... daughter's boyfriend wading into my weetabix stash like they're some sort of public commodity ... Noooooo!
I have two.Served with a drizzle of boiling water and then a splash of milk.
when I was about seven I had a toy weetabix lorry.
2 at a time, with too much sugar on top. wait 20 seconds for optimum milk absorption then eat each one in 3-4 bites. repeat until stuffed. 6-8?

I say again. Dunk!

Warm milk in winter, cold in summer
little un (4yo) has two, then usually asks for 2 more and would happily polish of a third helping of 2, he does like his cereal.
I personally think weetabix are a lame breakfast (porridge, shreddies, crunchy nut are all much better)

Has his way with your daughter then eats your weetabix.
He will be drinking your beer next.
Two plus blueberries plus bluetop milk
My little boy who has a bit of an eating disorder.
He is 5 and has never had a hot meal in his life 8O.
Has 2 in the morning 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening.

With marmalade or lemon curd on top. Perfect after you get home from work.
2 at home if I'm not riding, if I cycle to work then 3 when I get to the office.
I don't have them very often, but when I do it's at least 3, more likely 4 or 5.
And whilst we're on the subject, how, in this day and age have they not come up with a better way to package them. It's like the sodding Krypton Factor trying to get them out without making a mess!
Ahh you'll be buying own brand biscuits. Weatabix have gone back to the proper paper wrapping.
My one year old daughter is currently eating between 2 and 3 😯
It's all dependent on the size of the bowl.
They must be laid down [completely] flat, bathed in cold milk (semi) to a depth equal to half their height. Leave to soak while you put the milk away then immediately flip them over and demolish before they get too soggy.
For me this means they go down like animals on the ark....two by two.
Two, on a bed of uncooked porridge oats mixed with a crumbled
chocolate nutrigrain bar, then doused in cold milk.
Sunday Morning pre-ride.
3 Weetabix + 1 large banana + 2 large dollops of crunchy peanut butter into blender + enough milk to cover, good blend
4 is a normal breakfast. I might try and force down 6 if I'm away out for a long ride.
Once in my student days I finished a packet on the last day of a snowboarding trip (no waste and keep me going cheaply). I think there were 8 left... might've been more...
This is a revelation! I eat Weetabix for breakfast every single day. I only ever have 2 - no wonder I am always starving by 10.30..!
4 golden syrup flavor .
I once visited the factory in the late nineties, quite a pleasant smell to the place, the canteen did a good bacon/egg breakfast, I think its been fully modernised since.
