You know, you hear a lot of jive talked about cereals, everyone has a favourite, and everyone misses the days when there were toys "between the box and inner bag".
Despite very little research, I reckon there isn't as much advertising for cereals as there was, er, before. Sure, you get ads for the three hundred different kinds of Special K, and those ads for Cheerios that try too hard, but where's the Rice Krispies ads? And the ads for when they add marshmallows to your favourite cereal in a breakthough in breakfast technology?
Without extensive advertising, there's a serious threat to the status of the king of cereals: Weetos.
And so, I present a list of why Weetos are so damn good.
They're made by Weetabix, yet are the antitithesis of those wheat biscuits, as they make no concession to being healthy.
You can finish a box, quite reasonably, in about two days, cause they're 'O' shaped and thus the box is full of air. Its strangely satisfying to do that.
When you finish the Weetos themselves, you're left with what is essentially chocolate milkshake, except without that sludge that comes from the dust in the Coco Pops box.
They're made by Professor Weeto (pictured on the box). Even though he's probably smarter than you, the only cereal endorser that doesn't patronise you. I'm not sure what he's a professor in, but who would you rather trust, a professor, or the three delinquents that front Rice Krispies? Shouldn't they be at school?
Studies have shown that tastyness remains uniformly excellent when they are either dry or soggy, possibly the only food to attain this attribute.
So in conclusion, Weetos are great, and no, I shouldn't have grown out of them by now.
They're not as good as those chocolate pillows from Aldi - chocolatey pillows filled with chocolate praline. Calorific!
