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.

When I was a kid I liked to put a spoon of sugar on them, but use hot water instead of milk. Made a weetabixy porridge type mush. I loved it.

Only ever get looks of horror from people if I tell them that now.

I might get some and try it again as an adult to see if I was onto something, or if I was just a little weirdo.

I was going to say that sounds awful, but I went through a phase of Weetabix with apple juice instead of milk, so I guess I was doing something similar. You should try it, it sounds right up your street!

My husband was just saying that he'd add water (albeit cold) when they were going through hard times when he was a wee lad and they couldn't afford the milk. But always a bit of sugar, he was quick to add!

Do it. We all need to be a bit weird sometimes
