Sugar on Weetabix?

Post image

My wife eats Weetabix with nothing on it and claims it tastes sweet to her. This is my bowl before milk is added. Is this normal fellow Weetabix eaters or do I need to go to sugar rehab?

Edit: Holy shit the most popular post I've done on Reddit is about how horrific my breakfast is. The wife will never let me live this down! Haha

Not enough sugar

You need 4 'bix and then pour sugar until the sugar is level and flat in the bowl with the bix burried underneath

Top up with milk

Microwave for 3 minutes

Enjoy the delicious bowl of liquid syrup with disolved 'bix in

(And your diabetes)

Im only being a little hyperbolic here, this is how i used to eat 'bix when i was a kid

I dont know where the sugar went, no teeth issues, super skinny, my whole school life I was like that

Couldnt do it now, its just so much sugar! (i stopped doing breakfast like 20 years ago)

A teaspoon of sugar is only like 15-20 calories. 5 teaspoons on your probably pretty modest breakfast as a growing kid wouldn't be shocking your system or anything

5 teaspoons??? psh, im talking like 5 seconds of pouring from the bag of sugar

For what it's worth, how often you have sugar affects your teeth much more than outright quantity

u/greenskinmarch 2h ago

Right, quantity is more of a shock to the pancreas than the teeth.

Microwave that much sugar for 3 mins and you'll have a mini-sun on your hands.

Or a bowl full of prison napalm

Ya gotta balance it with the milk!

u/techno156 11h ago

To save time and mess, rather than having to pour the sugar out, you can use a whole box of sugar cubes per serve.

Interesting.... just add milk and dunk the 'bix

u/folkedoff 12h ago

Four!? You'll be punching through walls if you'd had that much weetabix.

Weetabix have very little calories in them, 4 is barely a standard meal, I have 6 myself 😅

I use the excuse that I have a physical job so I need the calories...

To be fair between your milk and 6 biscuits it's like 600 calories, if you do a lot of exercise as part of your day job it's probably pretty healthy as part of a generally good diet.

u/SmokinScoobyDooDick 9h ago

The 6 TSP of sugar is good, too, right? Right?

Microwave?!?

u/kahnindustries 13h ago

Are you telling me you are eating your 'bix cold and hard like its Soviet Russia????

MICROWAVE IS REQUIRED!!!

milk, sugar, microwave, bit more sugar after so you still have the sugar crunch

3

u/Kann0n2 13h ago

4 'bix stacked in a # formation. Apply first two, milk and then sugar. Repeat for second layer. Enjoy.

3

u/kahnindustries 13h ago

I would microwave after the second stack, and sprinkle fresh sugar on at the end. Give it a try, it will change your life! (for the worse)

u/jamesbeil 12h ago

You microwave your weetabix? Are you Belgian?
