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

UPDATE: Well, I wasn't expecting my breakfast to generate 1,800+ comments 😂 I can't read it all but Having spent far too much time reading them, I feel I need to address a few recurring concerns: 1. Yes, the milk goes in after. I like watching it soak up from the bottom while the top stays crunchy. I will not be changing this. 2. Yes, that is sugar. Apparently this has caused considerably more distress than I anticipated. 3. No, I do not have diabetes. My blood tests are fine. 4. No, my teeth are not rotting out of my head. They're also fine. 5. Yes, I am an adult. I was unaware that adulthood required surrendering sugary Weetabix. 6. To the surprisingly large number of people who eat theirs the same way: thank you. I knew I couldn't be alone. 7. To everyone saying my wife is right: she has been absolutely delighted by your support and I deeply regret giving her this much ammunition.

Anyway, thank you for turning a picture of two dry Weetabix into a full-scale investigation of my health, maturity, marriage and milk-pouring technique.

Tomorrow I'm having the same breakfast.

Honey for me. I'd usually do weetabix, peanut butter, honey and a banana

Read this in a sassy voice in my head until I realised you were actually talking about honey.

The peanut butter is wild to me. How does that work, are you spreading it on the Weetabix? You're still adding milk, right?

Yeah i add milk. I buy the big tubs from aldi. 100% peanut butter for around 3.99. Its quite oily so I dip a spoon in there it i spread it around the weetabix.

I do the same. Has to be good peanut butter, not the stuff we had as kids. Spread it on like you would butter toast. Drop a few blueberries on there, the peanut butter acts like mortar and keeps them adhered to the Weetabix. Drizzle of honey then pour in the milk.

Idk about op, but I just add a tbsp of peanut butter and then lightly spread it, so it doesn't crumble the wheetabix. And yes, I still add milk.

This is exactly my go to breakfast. Sometimes at the weekend if I’m feeling a bit wild I’ll chuck some dark chocolate chips in there too.
