Cereal Review: WHEATABIX

I rarely even eat cereal in the morning because it doesn't usually provide the ummghff I need to get through the day, what which fighting dragons and mighty software beasts all day. Cereal has become an evening or later after noon food for me and in my quest for a worthy snack I came across 'WHEATABIX'. When I first saw it I thought is said 'WHEATABRIX' so naturally I though, 'Hey, how healthy and fiber enriching this will be for me'.

So the first step is to take a few of the rounded brick shaped wheat looking constructions and sprinkle their crushed bodies into a sizable bowl. Then I cut up some fresh strawberries, sliced up a banana, tossed in some oatmeal and poured a bit of honey in. I must admit I had great expectations as I poured in my Silk Milk, expecting this cereal to perhaps become a favorite.



I mixed everything together once the milk was in and took my first bite; nothing special. The question I had to ask was where was the texture?! Had I somehow been ineffectual in my mixing effort? As I pondered and took my next bite I experienced the unwelcome sensation of eating soggy cereal. I'm not sure who invented this cereal, with good intent I'm sure. But it appears they don't believe in taking more than 24 seconds to eat breakfast because that's about how much time you have before this almost texture-less cereal turns to mush. Something like thin chips that have been sitting in water for an hour - not at all pleasant. Please spare yourself, do not purchase this cereal unless as a gift for someone you mean to torture.
