Normal single piece for comparison. Doublers are quite common, never had a quad before.

    They actually still make mega-wheats, which are quite fun. It’s old-school cereal. Throw some frozen berries on it, and it tastes about the same as contemporary stuff.

      I hated eating any shredded wheat when growing up, those were just the start to a bad day. Mean I was a fat kid but those things felt like tiny sticks in your mouth even after soaking for awhile…being a kid with adhd that awhile may not have been long as my memory says it is.

      The frosted side mini ones are marginally better at least but the texture is mostly what I didn’t care for. Rather have it as a gruel than chewing on dried stuff.

        puffed wheat is basically the only breakfast cereal i really find appealing, it’s soft but crunchy and it’s the right balance between sugary and healthy.

        Like, no, i don’t want to eat cereal that is literally brown (almost gray in many cases) and has 0 sweetness, and i also don’t want to eat stuff that is effectively coloured sugar…
