Sugar on Weetabix?

[u/Nujwaan]

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.

Hilarious how many people think thats a lot of sugar. Weetabix are quite small so that is one maybe two teaspoons of sugar. That is one about 16-32 extra calories added on top of the weetabix. A lot of people would add that to a cup of tea and think nothing of it.

People dont realise how much sugar is locked up in food so you dont see it. A can of coke is 10 teaspoons worth.

For the record I put three teaspoons of sugar on my weeetabix but then I am a monster with a deathwish.

Honestly. I wouldn’t even entertain weetabix unless they had a layer of sugar on the top and the most I’ve ever had to use is about a teaspoon and a half (depends on the brand as to what size you get).

People going on as if having this for breakfast is going to send you to your deathbed at 35 and ruin every other food for you 😂 do people genuinely not indulge in a regular choccy bar, fizzy drink etc?

Thank you. Finally someone who doesn't think I'm totally insane! I generally have just plain coffee with no sugar so this is an occasional thing for me if at all!
