Weet-bix is meant to be eaten with milk and banana and a teaspoon of sugar for 2 weet-bix. How much sugar and toxic food additives are you going to feed your kids. And no aussie gives there kid fruit loops here we know better that's stoner food for when the munchies kick in. We have been taught fiber will stop bowel cancer since the 1980s. Cach up dudes and no we dont do smores ew. Grab a chocolate royal bikkie it tastes what your smores are missing. I spent 3 months of my time in the states and tried all your American food. I bought some home for my teenager and she was shocked at the garbage that was listed in the ingredients. Yes we are taught to know how to read food ingredient lists. Twisslers were the worst thing ive ever put in my mouth. I dont know what is in them other than plastic and oil. Lolies arent meant to leave an oily residue on your hands ew. Look up chocolate crackles too for aussie after school snack. Ahhh takes me back to the 70s when l could go to the shop and buy red freddo frog lollie which is what l thought twisslers would taste like. Nope. I think play dough has a better taste.

    When my kids were young they had a choice of Corn Flakes, Rice Bubbles or Weet-Bix. (I was a single mum of 4, not much money) One Christmas, my aunty gave my 2 oldest kids a a large box of Coco Pops each. She also gave them other gifts as well, but as soon as my daughters unwrapped them, they tagged them with their name. Christmas and Easter was a time that I let them have all the 'treats' .... chocolate, coke lollies (candy). But, for most of the year we had a sensible diet. It was cheaper. My kids have adopted the same restrictions with their kids. Sugar, salt and fat are good, but not every day.

    American cereals are just breakfast candy loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients with no real nutritional content at all. While here in Australia we do have some cereals which have a bit more sugar than others, but at least they contain less sugar and artificial ingredients than American cereals and many of them actually contain some nutrients so they're more healthy.

    Option #2 Lucky charms (are more like our Fruit loops) with 220 mg sodium & 12g sugar vs Weet-Bix with 1g sugar 97mg sodium - per 36g serve.
    Weet-bix are normally eaten with milk (hot or cold) and often topped with fresh fruit, yoghurt or honey etc (to taste). The biscuit or bar is simply multiple wheat-flakes compressed into rectangle shape. I've never seen these eaten dry.
    Option #3 Captain Crunch has 1.5g fat, 240mg sodium & 17g sugar for a 38g serve, vs Fruit Loops has 1.37g fat, 136mg sodium & 14.7g sugar
    Option #4 Apple Jacks have 125mg sodium, 12g sugar & 1g fat per 40g serve vs Rice Bubbles with 0.5g fat, 3.3g sugar & 168mg sodium

    Otion#7 FTC have 1.5g fat, 180mg sodium & 12g sugar vs Crunchy Nuts have 1.8g fat, 124 mg sodium & 11g sugar
    Growing up our breakfast included: toast, crumpets, english muffins, corn flakes, rice bubbles, nutri-grain & on special occasions bacon & eggs.

    Rice Bubbles are puffed rice, and when you add milk the make a sound as the liquid hits them; Snap, Crackle and Pop. If you melt chocolate then mix with coconut and Rice Bubbles, we call them Chocolate Crackles; if you mix Rice Bubbles with icing sugar, powdered milk coconut and copha, they are called White Crackles.

    Weet-Bix are flakes of wheat crushed into a bar. They're basically like corn flakes except they're wheat. So yes of course you need milk. In winter you can use hot milk, or use cold milk then microwave the entire meal. Afterwards add sugar (raw sugar is delicious for this rather than white sugar), and chopped banana. YUM!

    The thing with the heathier Australian cereals were that you would add to the cereal base things like fruit or sugar. Weetbix with fruit, like a banana or strawberries etc were delicious, but sugar on top was great as well. Or you could just go plain as well, so it gave more options, the same can be said for Rice Bubbles and Corn Flakes. We are more health conscious here and parents don't their kids climbing the ceiling at 8am either.

    The plain cereals are a base. The rice bubbles so you can add your own sugar, but you can add all sorts of things to it and they go Snap, Crackle and Pop. We love that sound. Weet Bix is a base, so you can add all sorts of things to it as well and you can use it for other things other than cereal. Hot or Cold. Weetbix are given to babies as well, its comforting, especially in Winter. Yes already know its unfair. Some people from US get off on who is better and is so competative. A lot of Australian, don't care. We like them because they are ours, and they belong to us. You can have your things, but we like our things.We have different cereals. We also have different tastes. When I was growing up, it was a lot more subtle, very plain food, also sugar and health conscioius. The older generations stick with what they know, the change to more sugar comes from the younger generation and as other people come to Australia they bring all sorts of changes. And no, not all Australians grew up with Milo, we had a choice. There were those that liked Milo, and those that liked Ovalteen, and there were those that also like quik as well as actavite. So when US people do this who is better, a lot of Australians don't care.

Some areas 49° deg. Apparently it's an 11yr cycle event. Phew, not too many out and about today if away from water. Next week the same 🥵 A cyclone in Qld ripping through. Just another summer in Oz 🥴🙆‍♀️😉
    Weet-Bix is bland but extremely healthy. It's wheat compressed into a brick shape that's it. It's what you add, tailor made. Usually hot or cold milk allowing extra for absorption. Then sugar or drizzle honey to your taste, not the companies and fruit if wanted. My partner is addicted to 4 Weet-Bix hot milk, sugar and dry powdered milk on top to make it creamy. Must say it's omg sensational. However for me it's a rarity for obvious reasons 😂
    It was common to have a dry Weet-Bix with butter and jam or butter and vegemite for a snack. Arnotts Milk Arrowroot biscuits were treated the same. It was cheap in poorer times and lot's of us grew up on it. Later there was another cracker biscuit, long rectangle shape, very healthy with seeds. You took two, put Vegemite or jam on it then the fun was to squeeze the spread through the tiny holes hahaha ohhh and a slice of cheese added if hungrier lol

After years of eating other crap and not enough fruit and veg, he is still healthy and has no cholesterol problems. It's 95% whole wheat, so it's amazing for the body. Plenty of other cereals that are almost as good. Feed kids proper food and no junk, and they will always prefer the healthy food.
