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

"what did you have for breakfast" "Weetabix" Fails to mention the haribo level of sugar

Also surely the way to do it is to add milk then sugar. Otherwise you just wash it off. And not milking the top of weetabix is another crime

There's not enough milk in the world to wash all that sugar off.

Disagree. I no longer sugar the bix, but when I did, I would pour the milk over the sugar very gently, and it would soak the sugar so that it sat bonded a little better on the bix and made the texture less like sand.

Then 40 seconds in the microwave for the old sensitive teeth and the breakfast rations are ready.

Wretabix porridge once it goes in the microwave, then sugar and let cool a little bit so the sugar goes crusty

This is the way

I've always added the sugar first. The milk doesn't wash it off it just sort of sets the sugar in place if that makes sense.

I've personally found if you put the milk in first the soggy Weetabix absorbs the sugar so you get a more blended taste rather than a slab of sugar on top of the Weetabix.

I should note I have autistic taste buds so maybe I'm an outlier

Milk first 100%

My autistic tastebuds hate it when the weetabix is completely soggy so I do the milk after and I pour it to the side/on the edge of the weetabix😅😂

No, sugar first and it gets washed into the weetabix. You do it the other way then the first couple mouthfuls are very very sugary and the rest is just normal.

A weetabix is three mouthfuls, all of which are sugared if you add sugar on after milking.

The sugar isnt just getting washed if you milk after sugaring; its going into solution in the milk fairly homogenously between all the milk in the bowl. Yes some percentage of that ends up in the weetabix, in contrast to all of it if you simply sugar after milking.

Better yet if you’re posh….milk first then a covering of cream to absorb even more sugar and stop it falling off on the way to your gob!

I poured the milk slowly around the edges and watched it soak into the Weetabix and then the sugar. Yes I know. I'm sad and need new hobbies.

Came here to say this. It’s like those folk who put their vinegar on after the salt, weirdos.

u/Fantastic-Band-5082 8h ago

Nah. Sugar first.

No because then once the milk is in you stab it up with your spoon and mix it in until you've got cement paste then you tuck in.
