[Closed] How many Weetabix?

I have recently taken to Banana Weetabix, love it.

I have two at a time. Twice if I'm not running late for work.

But only if I have remembered to get milk in, which isn't that often sadly.

not weetabix but oatibix, faaaaar superior 🙂

3 oatibix with an unflavoured protein shake, left go go soggy. nomnomnom.

6 most mornings, 4 if on a diet.

Maximum score was 14, after a long foodless car journey as a 10 year old.

2 in the bowl, convex side up, cold semi skimmed and a dash of sugar.

My primary school record stands at 7 in one sitting.

These days nine as they give me awful heartburn.

No wonder if you eat nine 😉

6 weetabix? Good god, 2 is ample unless you're going to be miles from civilisation and a piece of fruit at 10.30.

Shredded wheat are what I imagine eating carpet to be like.

Good grief I thought I had hollow legs.

The correct answer is two clearly, leaving room for toast and marmalade. Soak at half thickness for 50/50 gooey/crunchy mouthfuls, no sugar.

4 in two sittings but you do have to eat them as fast as possible because soggy weetabix are an abomination.
You also have to have a thick but even layer of sugar.

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.

Back in the day this too was my preferred technique - though with a fine layer of sugar applied after the reversal. Used to do 12 every morning without fail. Now I've grown up, just the 4, no sugar, and have ventured into other cereals.

I once watched an old woman butter one and eat it

2 is the answer for optimum digestion without spiking blood sugar levels apparently 💡

I rarely eat them these days. There is often a box in the larder, for when my more usual breakfast cereal is out of stock.

One beery night at Cowes Week I had a dry weetabix eating competition with a chum - the winner was he who could eat half a tube without resorting to any liquid at all. As if a normal hangover didn't dehydrate the occupier enough...

Four would be my normal portion, possibly five or six if I'm hungrier than usual.

My son set a PB of four when he was still two (almost three) years old. Hasn't bettered it, now aged four, although has equalled it now and again. Having said that, this morning he had three slices of toast and a big bowl of rice crispies, so he could probably set a new record sometime soon.

5 for me allows all the weetabix to sit at the same depth in the ice cold milk.

mate at works a bit of a food monster and downed a full pack (24) in 13 mins a few weeks ago after being challenged by us. we'd looked in the guinness book of records and couldnt find anything relevant so tried to get his name in there.

they told us to send em the video, but never got back in touch :-/

Weetabix has a very narrow milk saturation time window when it is even remotely edible. Other than that millisecond, it is rank.

Agreed.

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with milk that is just above it's freezing point is the only way.

Normally just one buried under a mountain of frosties/corn flakes.

Four or five if just weetabix on their own

Two. An extra one one race days. Milk, no sugar. Preferably the banana ones.

I thought butter and jam was standard operating procedure, no? What were you all eating in the 70's?

Three normally. Two isn't enough bit of a push getting four in my cereal bowl.

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with milk that is just above it's freezing point is the only way.

Now, if we're talking about CNCFs then I can recommend a (small) bowl with double cream instead of milk.

various people talking about only 2 weetabix

It's your breakfast, not an amuse bouche!

So right.

Mini-likes-food scoffs 3 or 4 every morning using the disgusting (in my eyes) technique of mashing them to a paste then essentially inhaling them from the spoon. I know, manners... but it's the morning and getting him to the table fully dressed is a win.

4 and 6 prunes 🙂

I eat 6, one in the bowel at a time so as not to go soggy and flip them over to get even saturation.

I also eat the mini ones but not sure on numbers and don't eat them one at a time.

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.

2.5 for me too. 1.5 for my son. 1 for my daughter. the little one prefers his ready brek

it has to be mashed up with warm milk and sugar...takes less than 60 seconds to wolf it down

tried it with cold milk once....never again
