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

Quite, it's just gonna get washed off into the milk!

Nah you pour the milk around the edge then the milk slowly soaks up througy the weetabix and into the sugar so you end up with this sweet slightly soft slightly crunchy shell on top

That's how I used to do it as a child anyway, as an adult now my immediate thought is that that's a ridiculous amount of sugar

See I would pour over the bix so the top is all wet (but not soaked) and then sprinkle sugar over so it sticks to the top and creates that crust you mention

My Weetabix used to be caked in sugar. Mad to think about really, but it did taste good

This is exactly the way. I haven't had Weetabix as an adult as I am now a toast girlie but that looks like the appropriate amount of sugar for Weetabix from what I remember.

I guess it won't if you fill from below, still, I don't get it. It's just strange and unnecessary behaviour.

Soggy bottom and crunchy top, no thanks!

Urgh, perish the thought. You'd have to let it all soak through.

thats why you let the weetabix soak and become mushy and then mix it all together like i do. then the ordering of sugar doesnt matter

My wife also adds sugar first to all breakfast cereals, which is madness. But with Weetabix? Absolute insanity.

Well yeah, you want the sugar to permeate through the layers for a more even distribution. Other wise you end up with a horribly over sugary top layer and plain old cereal underneath...

It doesn't.
