    My younger one loves weetbix, so heres a up vote from him

  • +2

    I used to do 10 weetbix. Now in my old age of 25 I can only do 4 😥

    Also a dry weetbix with Vegemite spread on it is amazing.

      At 17 I was eating 12 as a nightly snack.

      A at 27 and I smashed down a whole one of these boxes (24) plus an 1 extra bix a few months ago as a challenge. I was struggling by the 7th and the rest of the evening was spent spread out on the floor.

      I would not recommend it.

      • Ummm, why would anyone have more than 2 of these at a given time…

    • +2

      10 dafuq?

      The proper number is 3..

    • Same but now it's usually 2.

    Oats are so much better

      Here it is, the comment that sparks World War 3.

      For close to 60 years I ate Vita Brits for six months of the year and Porridge for the other six months (in the cooler weather). I only changed from this regime when I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease four years ago.

      • You went from eating wheat to being diagnosed with coeliac in your 60s?

        • I became gluten intolerant at 24 after eating half a box of Weetbix nightly through my teens and eating baguettes for a cheap meal often. It might be coeliac, I’m yet to get a biopsy to confirm, but it’s weird how it can happen.

          • +2

            @stickyfingers: It's not coeliac

            • +1

              @Wolfenstein98k: Probably fructan intolerance. That's commonly being mistaken as "gluten" intolerance.

            • @Wolfenstein98k: I hope not, it’s super difficult to avoid gluten, especially when traveling.

              It puts me through a lot of pain to eat anything with gluten and causes a lot of bloating, cramps, and reflux, but no other long term issues. A test showed genes found in everyone with coeliac but it’s not an indicator as people who don’t have coeliac can sometimes have the genes.

              I’ve found taking simethicone prior to eating gluten usually prevents any pain.

          • @stickyfingers: not particularly healthy to eat the same food every day

            • @fredblogs: Probably not, but you do a lot of dumb and unhealthy things as a teenager.

          Yes. I was fit and healthy until my early 60's when my iron levels started dropping and I became anaemic over a period of six months (picked up via the finger prick test they do each time you donate blood). Full blood tests (which I had been having every two years) showed my body was fighting a major infection and I was immediately booked in for an endoscopy which showed Villous atrophy. I was placed on a gluten free diet and everything went back to normal within a few months (proven by further blood test and another endoscopy). The specialist just said that something had triggered the immune response at that point in my life. When I asked if it was common, he said it was becoming more common now.

          • @cryptowiz: So was the cause Vita Brits or the porridge?

            • @fredblogs: Neither. Like many immune system diseases, it was most likely triggered by a virus.

    What's wrong with not supporting a company that's never paid tax.

    • -2

      Why should they? They spend the profits on charity and promoting healthy eating

  • +2

    My favourite is banana, honey and milk but I recently tried Nutella and milk which was really good.

  • add milk and microwave. stir in honey and top with muesli.

      ;). Great minds think alike

        Or great minds are… the same mind?

  • +2

    Wish Vita Brits would go on a decent special once in a while.

  • Soggy, prefer vitabrits

  • Hot water to soften/warm, bit of lite condensed milk on top, add milk.

    I love Weetbix though don’t get the hype on this deal. The generic versions from all three major supermarkets taste exactly the same and are better value.

    • Aldi ftw, cheaper and even has less salt.

      • -2

        Aldo tastes like cardboard.

      • +1

        I think Aldi's version doesn't contain folic acid. The printing of the batch codes/expiry in the box suggests it's actually made by sanitarium

        • Aldi's version doesn't have iron in it from memory.

  • +1

    Until recently these were 1.90 when reduced

      • Prices are pretty much in line with inflation then. Nothing to see here

  • Why do they call it "Weet-a-bix" in some countries?
